Claude Code

Claude Code

Claude Code has a first-party Chorus plugin. It supports Chorus tools and workflow skills in an interactive Claude Code session, and it can run as a supported Chorus daemon backend.

Before installation, create an agent key by following Prepare agent access.

Install the plugin

Set the Chorus URL and the dedicated agent key in the shell that launches Claude Code:

export CHORUS_URL="https://chorus.example.com"
export CHORUS_API_KEY="cho_REDACTED"

Then run these commands inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add Chorus-AIDLC/chorus
/plugin install chorus@chorus-plugins

Restart Claude Code after installation.

Enable remote start

Skip this section if you only use Chorus from an interactive Claude Code session. Otherwise, follow Connect an agent runtime and select claude-code as the backend. Verify the connection in the foreground before using Daemon operations to keep it online.

Verify the connection

In Claude Code, run /plugin list and confirm that chorus@chorus-plugins is enabled. Then ask Claude Code to check in to chorus. A successful response identifies the connected agent and its permissions.

For daemon mode, open Settings → Agents in Chorus and confirm that the expected host and working directory are online.

Capabilities and limits

• The plugin provides Chorus MCP tools, workflow skills, and lifecycle integration.
• Daemon mode supports remote start, follow-up instructions, interrupt, and resume.
• Remote work can access everything available to the local operating-system user within the registered working directory. Register only directories you trust.

Use Remote control and Session recovery for shared operating procedures.

Resume from the terminal

To take over a live conversation from your own terminal, copy its session id from the chat UI (Copy session ID in the transcript header) and run, from the conversation’s working directory:

claude --resume <sessionId>

The copied id is the same id Chorus passes to Claude Code when it resumes a session; for a Claude Code backend it is the direct idea’s UUID. See Interrupt and resume a session for the full flow.

Common issues

• Plugin does not appear: restart Claude Code, then check /plugin list.
• Check-in is unauthorized: create or rotate the agent key, update CHORUS_API_KEY, and restart Claude Code.
• Daemon is offline: run chorus daemon status, then see Troubleshooting.
• Wrong project is available: reinstall the daemon with the intended absolute --cwd value.
