Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.
This benchmark measured an earlier version of the skill.
A newer attempt on gemini-3.8-flash on 10/20/2026 did not produce a publishable comparison (not comparable). The snapshot above is the previously measured run.
One of 12 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
Before dispatching a new worker agent named `worker-auth` for a second work wave, a team lead finds an existing closed session for `worker-auth`. Which session tool should be invoked?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
This skill covers the Development stage of the AI-DLC workflow: claiming Tasks, writing code, reporting progress, submitting for verification, and managing sessions for worker observability.
Developer Agents take Tasks created by PM Agents (via the proposal skill, skill_view("chorus:proposal")) and turn them into working code. Each task follows:
claim --> in_progress --> report work --> self-check AC --> submit for verify --> Admin review
For multi-agent parallel execution, the main agent runs Chorus workers as Hermes delegate_task children, with one Chorus session per worker for observability.
Task Lifecycle:
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
chorus_claim_task | Claim an open task (open -> assigned) |
chorus_release_task | Release a claimed task (assigned -> open) |
chorus_update_task | Update task status (in_progress / to_verify) |
chorus_submit_for_verify | Submit task for admin verification with summary |
Work Reporting:
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
chorus_report_work | Report progress or completion (writes comment + records activity, with optional status update) |
Acceptance Criteria:
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
chorus_report_criteria_self_check | Report self-check results (passed/failed + optional evidence) on structured acceptance criteria |
