Conductor - Context-Driven Development Plugin for Claude Code
Conductor transforms Claude Code into a project management tool by implementing Context-Driven Development . It enforces a structured workflow: Context → Spec & Plan → Implement .
By treating context as a managed artifact alongside code, teams establish a persistent, project-aware foundation for all AI interactions. The system maintains:
Product vision as living documentation
Technical decisions as structured artifacts
Work units (tracks) with specifications and phased plans
TDD workflow with verification checkpoints
Specification & Planning : Generate detailed specs and actionable task plans before implementation
Context Management : Maintain style guides, tech stack preferences, and product goals
Safe Iteration : Review plans before code generation, keeping humans in control
Team Collaboration : Project-level context documents become shared foundations
Project Intelligence : Handles both greenfield (new) and brownfield (existing) projects
Semantic Reversion : Git-aware revert by logical work units (tracks, phases, tasks)
State Persistence : Resume setup across multiple sessions

1. Setup (/conductor:setup)
Interactive initialization that creates foundational project documentation:
Detects greenfield vs brownfield projects
Asks sequential questions about product, tech stack, workflow preferences
Generates style guides for selected languages
Creates tracks registry
2. Create Track (/conductor:new-track)
Start a new feature or bug fix:
Interactive Q&A to gather requirements
Generates detailed specification (spec.md)
Creates phased implementation plan (plan.md)
Registers track in tracks.md
3. Implement (/conductor:implement)
Execute the plan systematically:
Follows TDD red-green-refactor cycle
Updates task status markers
Includes manual verification checkpoints
Synchronizes documentation on completion
4. Monitor (/conductor:status)
View project progress:
Current phase and task
Completion percentage
Identified blockers
5. Revert (/conductor:revert)
Undo work by logical unit:
Select track, phase, or task to revert
Git-aware: finds all associated commits
Requires confirmation before execution
6. Manage (/conductor:manage)
Manage track lifecycle:
Archive completed tracks with reason tracking
Restore archived tracks to active state
Delete tracks permanently (with safeguards)
Rename track IDs with reference updates
Cleanup orphaned artifacts and stale tracks
/plugin install conductor
