What it does

Docs is an agent skill from Chorus-AIDLC/Chorus. Chorus documentation router for Hermes Agent — consult the live Chorus docs site to answer product-usage questions (UI workflow, agent/plugin setup, API/MCP, deployment, operations).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Static sites and blogs, Hooks and plugins and MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: The Agent Harness for AI-Human Collaboration, inspired by the AI-DLC (AI-Driven Development Lifecycle). The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Static sites and blogs
  • Tasks that involve Hooks and plugins
  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Fetch the index. Get https://doc.chorus-ai.dev/llms.txt — a machine-readable index that lists every documentation page with a one-line…
  2. Fetch the relevant page(s) as raw Markdown. Pick the page(s) that match the question from the index, then fetch the raw Markdown by…
  3. Ground the answer and link the human page. Base your answer on the fetched Markdown, and link the human-facing page (the .md URL without…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4754822. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • doc.chorus-ai.dev

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Docs loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 566 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Docs Skill

This skill is a thin router to the live Chorus documentation site (https://doc.chorus-ai.dev). Use it to answer questions about how to use, configure, deploy, or operate Chorus — grounding the answer in the current published docs instead of memory.

It is not a workflow skill: it does not drive the AI-DLC pipeline. For that, load skill_view("chorus:idea"), skill_view("chorus:proposal"), skill_view("chorus:develop"), skill_view("chorus:review"), or skill_view("chorus:yolo").


When to Use

Use this skill whenever the user asks a product-usage question about Chorus, such as:

  • UI workflow — how the Idea → Proposal → Task → Verify pipeline works in the web app, what a control does, how statuses flow.
  • Agent setup — creating an API key, permissions and role presets, connecting an agent.
  • Plugin setup — installing/configuring the Chorus plugin for your coding agent (on Hermes: the pinned chorus + chorus-mcp plugin directories, the native mcp_servers.chorus entry, terminal.cwd, and hermes gateway — see skill_view("chorus:chorus")).
  • API / MCP — the REST API, the MCP tool surface, authentication, real-time events.
  • Deployment — self-hosting, the CDK stack, environment configuration.
  • Operations / troubleshooting — running Chorus, diagnosing connection or setup problems.

Do NOT use it to drive the pipeline (claiming ideas, writing proposals, executing tasks) — that is what the stage skills above are for. This skill answers "how does the product work / how do I set it up"; the stage skills do the work.


Access Convention

The docs site is agent-friendly. Follow this three-step convention every time. Do NOT answer from memory, and do NOT hardcode a page list — the index is the source of truth and pages change over time.

  1. Fetch the index. Get https://doc.chorus-ai.dev/llms.txt — a machine-readable index that lists every documentation page with a one-line summary and its .md URL. The index is a single, unlocalized file that lives ONLY at the root /llms.txt. Never prefix it with a locale — https://doc.chorus-ai.dev/zh/llms.txt (and /ja/, /ko/) does NOT exist and returns 404.
  2. Fetch the relevant page(s) as raw Markdown. Pick the page(s) that match the question from the index, then fetch the raw Markdown by appending .md to the page URL (e.g. https://doc.chorus-ai.dev/guides/getting-started → https://doc.chorus-ai.dev/guides/getting-started.md).
  3. Ground the answer and link the human page. Base your answer on the fetched Markdown, and link the human-facing page (the .md URL without the .md suffix) so the user can open it in a browser.

On Hermes, fetch with the built-in web_extract tool, or curl -sL <url> via terminal when you need the raw bytes. Any web-fetch capability works — this skill states the convention, not a specific tool binding.

Locale

The /llms.txt index itself is not localized — there is exactly one, at the root. Localization applies to pages, not the index:

  • The index always lives at https://doc.chorus-ai.dev/llms.txt and lists the root (en) page URLs. Do not look for /zh/llms.txt — it does not exist.
  • en is the root (unprefixed): https://doc.chorus-ai.dev/...
  • zh, ja, ko are path-prefixed pages: take a page path from the index and prepend the locale — https://doc.chorus-ai.dev/zh/..., /ja/..., /ko/...
  • Appending .md works on the prefixed pages too (e.g. https://doc.chorus-ai.dev/zh/guides/getting-started.md).
  • Match the user's language when the docs exist in it; fall back to en otherwise.

Relationship to the Workflow Skills

This skill complements the AI-DLC workflow skills — it does not replace them:

The user wants to…Use
Learn how to use / configure / deploy / operate Chorusthis skill (skill_view("chorus:docs"))
Drive an idea / write a proposal / execute or verify a taskskill_view("chorus:idea"), skill_view("chorus:proposal"), skill_view("chorus:develop"), skill_view("chorus:review"), skill_view("chorus:yolo")

Always use the live host doc.chorus-ai.dev. docs.chorus-ai.dev (with an "s") is a dead link — never use it.

Docs is an agent skill from Chorus-AIDLC/Chorus. Chorus documentation router for Hermes Agent — consult the live Chorus docs site to answer product-usage questions (UI workflow, agent/plugin setup, API/MCP, deployment, operations).

When should I use Docs?

Docs fits situations like: tasks that involve Static sites and blogs; tasks that involve Hooks and plugins; tasks that involve MCP servers.

How do I install Docs in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add Chorus-AIDLC/Chorus --skill docs -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (packages/chorus-hermes/chorus/skills/docs in Chorus-AIDLC/Chorus) into .claude/skills/docs in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Docs in Codex?

Run `npx skills add Chorus-AIDLC/Chorus --skill docs -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (packages/chorus-hermes/chorus/skills/docs in Chorus-AIDLC/Chorus) into .agents/skills/docs in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Docs in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Chorus-AIDLC/Chorus --skill docs -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/docs, .gemini/skills/docs, .github/skills/docs and .opencode/skills/docs in your project.

What does Docs need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Docs needs the command-line tools its instructions call (curl).

Does Docs access the network?

SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: doc.chorus-ai.dev; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Docs safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Docs use?

Docs is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Docs use?

About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Docs?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Docs: MCP Integration for Plugins (anthropics/claude-plugins-official, 38k stars), Crush Configuration (charmbracelet/crush, 29k stars), Openpets (OpenPetsHQ/openpets, 1.3k stars) and Claude Automation Recommender (anthropics/claude-plugins-official, 38k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
