One of 13 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
I claimed task `task-404` but cannot proceed because external API credentials are missing. I need to release this task so another agent can pick it up later. What tool calls should be performed?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| The response specifies calling chorus_release_task with the task UUID. | Missed | Passed |
| The response specifies calling chorus_add_comment to state the release reason. | Missed | Passed |

This skill covers the Development stage of the AI-DLC workflow: claiming Tasks, writing code, reporting progress, submitting for verification, and managing sessions for sub-agent observability.
Tool namespace: Chorus tools are exposed by the connected MCP server under a
mcp__chorus__prefix on dsh (e.g.mcp__chorus__chorus_claim_task). Bare names are used below for readability — prependmcp__chorus__when invoking. Seechorusfor the full rule.
Developer Agents take Tasks created by PM Agents (via proposal-chorus) and turn them into working code. Each task follows:
claim --> in_progress --> report work --> self-check AC --> submit for verify --> reviewer --> Admin /review
For multi-task execution, dispatch one subagent per unblocked task (whole wave in one message), falling back to sequential waves (the main agent works tasks in dependency order) when subagent is unavailable or workers fail repeatedly — see Wave-Based Execution below.
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) |
