If you are tired of reviewing large diffs you did not watch being written, Opair keeps you in the work as it happens, with an LLM as a pair partner rather than an autonomous agent.

Opair is a terminal coding harness built around pair programming rather than autonomy. It has no shell tool: the model gets narrowly scoped development tools, git-ignored files and dotfiles are restricted, and git integrations are read-only. Shift+Tab switches roles. In driver mode the model can write, with your approval. In navigator mode it has no writable tools at all and comments on the changes you make in your own editor. Written in Go under AGPLv3, it installs by Homebrew, deb or rpm on macOS and Linux, and works with Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Z.ai and local llama.cpp models.
