vote

A command that gives the same yes-or-no proposition to several AI agents and returns their YES, NO, or ABSTAIN votes with short reasons. It reports the tally but does not choose the final verdict.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check consensus on a technical decision, design choice, proposed change, or other clear yes-or-no question.
Why use it?
It quickly shows whether independent reviewers agree without merging their answers into one potentially oversimplified conclusion.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Or install chorus, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 5 commands.

Per session 20 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

vote scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Put a yes/no proposition to five agents in parallel and return a tally.

Raw slash-command arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Use when you want a decision signal, not synthesis. The tally reveals whether there is consensus. Use /chorus:council when you want reasoning and trade-offs instead.

Vote semantics:

  • Each agent replies YES, NO, or ABSTAIN followed by one sentence of rationale.
  • Output: a tally table (| Vote | Count |) and a per-agent rationale section.
  • Verdict is determined by the caller — no chairman synthesis.

Agent roles (same as council):

  • Claude — correctness and security lens
  • Gemini — edge-case and risk lens
  • Codex — scope and simplicity lens
  • Cursor — codebase integration lens
  • Kilo — maintainability lens

Execution mode:

  • Default: foreground (tally needs immediate results).
  • If --background is in the arguments, run in background mode.
  • If --json is in the arguments, the companion emits {"command":"vote","tally":{"yes":N,"no":N,"abstain":N,"invalid":N},"results":[{name,vote,rationale,output,error,exitCode}]} on stdout. Warnings still go to stderr.
  • Strip --background, --wait, and --json before passing to the companion.

Pre-flight: The companion automatically checks which agents are installed. Missing agents are reported in stderr. Voting proceeds with whatever agents are available — at least 2 are required; if fewer are installed the companion exits non-zero and you should tell the user to install more agents.

Foreground execution:

node "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/companion.mjs" vote $ARGUMENTS

Background execution:

Bash({
  command: `node "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/companion.mjs" vote $ARGUMENTS`,
  description: "Parallel vote",
  run_in_background: true
})

Tell the user: "Vote started in the background. You'll be notified when it completes."

After the companion exits:

Return the tally and per-agent rationale verbatim. Do not adjudicate the result — the caller decides what the tally means. If the user asks "what does this mean?", you may interpret it, but the raw output should be shown first.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

vote is a command published in the GitHub repository valpere/chorus (10 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 568 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
