Main
Use it for risky diffs: paste a staged diff or PR summary and ask for reviewers to flag missing tests, race conditions, and edge cases.
Keep costs low: README frames it as using subscriptions you already pay for, avoiding pay-per-token multi-review overhead for routine checks.
Wire once, use everywhere: after
chorus init, call it from inside your AI CLI via MCP rather than copying huge diffs manually.Treat reviewer disagreement as a signal: when models diverge, slow down and add targeted tests before shipping.
