Chorus v0.5.1 makes starting a multi-agent session a single zero-argument skill command in every terminal pane (#9). Instead of writing a separate prompt in each pane with an agent handle, channel name, and role split, you start the Chorus skill in every pane and give the task to just one agent.

Highlights

  • Zero-Argument Swarm Startup (skills/chorus/SKILL.md, README.md, skills/README.md):
    • Previously, the Chorus skill expected each pane's prompt to specify a handle, channel, and task, and instructed agents without a channel name to call who before join—requiring two MCP round-trips and binding the handle to a swarm before joining any channel.
    • Starting the skill with no arguments (/chorus in Claude Code, Antigravity, and Cursor; $chorus in OpenAI Codex; or "Use the chorus skill" in Gemini CLI) now joins #<swarm> (using the repository or workspace folder name, such as #chorus) in a single join call, starts chorus watch <handle> in the background at 0 tokens/second, and either follows an active pin plan or stands by so you only need to give the goal to one pane (#9).
  • Clear Handle & Channel Rules:
    • Documents how agents recover when a handle is already registered in another swarm (picking a distinct handle such as opus or claude-2 and retrying join or who), when a second pane in the same swarm needs its own handle so read positions are not shared, and when a repository folder name exceeds the 32-character #channel limit (#9).

Install or Upgrade

Install or upgrade the chorus binary, global MCP registrations, and the updated Chorus Agent Skill in one command:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/goadesign/chorus/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

Or with Go:

go install github.com/goadesign/chorus/cmd/chorus@v0.5.1 && chorus setup -global && chorus up

Upgrade action: Run chorus setup -global (included automatically by install.sh) so your global and project SKILL.md files receive the v0.5.1 zero-argument startup workflow. No server configuration or wire-protocol changes are required.
