chorus-parallel-debug

chorus-parallel-debug is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from valpere/chorus. It costs 44 tokens per session (478 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A debugging helper that asks several coding agents to suggest and rank possible causes of a reported bug. Each agent examines a different kind of problem, such as application logic, infrastructure, or integrations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for parallel debugging, especially when checking input handling, type conversions, off-by-one errors, concurrency, frameworks, or third-party services.
Why use it?
It helps when the cause of a bug is unclear and one investigation may miss an important possibility. The results are combined after the agents finish.

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

chorus-parallel-debug 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 1mo 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

Chorus: Parallel Debug

When to use

  • Root cause of a bug is unclear
  • User says "parallel debug", "chorus debug", "hypotheses from all agents"

Your role

You generate hypotheses focused on edge cases in input handling, type coercion, off-by-one errors.

Invocation

SYMPTOM="<symptom>"

claude --print "Root-cause hypotheses, ranked by likelihood (numbered list). Focus: application logic, state management.\n\nSymptom: $SYMPTOM" --dangerously-skip-permissions &
CLAUDE_PID=$!

gemini --prompt "Root-cause hypotheses, ranked by likelihood (numbered list). Focus: infrastructure, concurrency, environment.\n\nSymptom: $SYMPTOM" --yolo --output-format text &
GEMINI_PID=$!

agent -p --force "Root-cause hypotheses, ranked by likelihood (numbered list). Focus: framework, library, and third-party integration issues.\n\nSymptom: $SYMPTOM" &
CURSOR_PID=$!

kilo run --auto "Root-cause hypotheses, ranked by likelihood (numbered list). Focus: naming confusion, type misuse, readability issues that hide bugs.\n\nSymptom: $SYMPTOM" &
KILO_PID=$!

wait $CLAUDE_PID $GEMINI_PID $CURSOR_PID $KILO_PID

Graceful degradation: Check each agent with command -v <binary> before spawning. Skip missing agents and warn the user. Proceed as long as at least 2 agents (including yourself) are available.

Output handling

Merge all available hypothesis lists (up to four agents + your edge-case hypotheses), prioritize ones flagged by multiple agents:

## Hypothesis Pool (ranked)
1. … (Claude + Gemini)
2. … (Codex)

## Investigation Plan
1. Check X first — rules out hypotheses 1 and 3

Known limitation

Codex sandbox limits access to the current working directory.

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.
