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-second-opinion 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 9d 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: Second Opinion

When to use

  • Quick sanity check on a decision or approach
  • User says "second opinion", "sanity check", "what does Claude/Gemini/Cursor/Kilo think"

Invocation

# Ask Claude (default — depth, correctness, edge cases)
claude --print "Give a concise second opinion. Be direct: agree / concerns / verdict (approve / approve-with-caveats / reject).\n\n<approach>" --dangerously-skip-permissions

# Or ask Gemini (breadth — alternatives, long-context)
gemini --prompt "Give a concise second opinion. Be direct: agree / concerns / verdict (approve / approve-with-caveats / reject).\n\n<approach>" --yolo --output-format text

# Or ask Cursor (integration — does this fit the codebase?)
agent -p --force "Give a concise second opinion. Be direct: agree / concerns / verdict (approve / approve-with-caveats / reject).\n\n<approach>"

# Or ask Kilo (maintainability — naming, readability, long-term impact)
kilo run --auto "Give a concise second opinion. Be direct: agree / concerns / verdict (approve / approve-with-caveats / reject).\n\n<approach>"

Graceful degradation: If the requested agent is not installed (command -v <binary> fails), fall back to the next available one and tell the user which agent you used instead.

Output handling

Return the agent's output verbatim — no additional commentary needed. The agent's verdict is self-contained.

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.
