SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Running a full AI-DLC lifecycle manually requires constant human hand-holding at every stage: elaborating ideas, drafting proposals, reviewing documents, dispatching tasks, and verifying results. This Skill removes that overhead by driving the entire Idea -> Proposal -> Execute -> Verify pipeline autonomously from a single natural-language prompt.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-End Automation: Creates the project and idea, self-elaborates requirements, drafts the proposal with documents and task DAGs, then executes tasks in dependency-ordered waves using parallel subagents.
  • Adversarial Review Loops: Spawns proposal-reviewer, task-reviewer, and code-reviewer subagents with bounded retry rounds, escalating to a human only when review rounds are exhausted.
  • Pre-Ship Code-Review Gateway: Reviews the aggregate change for the whole idea before writing the mandatory completion report, looping fix tasks through the pipeline on FAIL.
  • Use Case: Describe a feature in one prompt, walk away, and return to a verified, code-reviewed implementation with a full audit trail of elaboration Q&A, reviewer verdicts, and work reports in Chorus.

Quick Start

Run /chorus-yolo followed by a detailed natural-language description of the feature you want built, optionally adding --project with an existing project UUID.

Frequently Asked Questions about chorus-yolo

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a full AI-DLC pipeline from a single prompt?

Invoke /chorus-yolo followed by a detailed natural-language description of what you want built. The agent creates the project, idea, elaboration, and proposal, then executes and verifies tasks automatically. Add --project with a UUID to target an existing project.

What permissions does chorus-yolo need to run?

It requires an Admin-preset API key with idea:write, proposal:write and admin, task:write and admin, and project:write. The skill checks permissions at startup and aborts with a list of missing resource/action pairs if any are absent.

Can I stop chorus-yolo midway and resume later?

Yes. Press Ctrl+C at any time; all created entities such as the project, idea, proposal, and tasks persist in Chorus. You can resume manually using /chorus-develop for tasks or /chorus-review for proposals.

What happens when a reviewer keeps failing a proposal or task?

Review loops are bounded by maxProposalReviewRounds, maxTaskReviewRounds, and maxCodeReviewRounds, each defaulting to 3. When rounds are exhausted, the pipeline escalates with the remaining BLOCKERs and the relevant UUID for human intervention.

When should I use chorus-quick-dev instead of chorus-yolo?

Use /chorus-quick-dev for small or simple tasks that do not need the full Idea-to-Proposal overhead. chorus-yolo is designed for complete features that benefit from elaboration, proposal review, wave-based execution, and a pre-ship code-review gateway.
