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.

Philosophy

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

Features

  • 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

Commands

CommandDescription
/conductor:setupInitialize project with product definition, tech stack, workflow, and style guides
/conductor:new-trackCreate a feature or bug track with spec.md and plan.md
/conductor:implementExecute tasks from the plan following workflow rules
/conductor:statusDisplay project progress overview
/conductor:revertGit-aware undo by track, phase, or task
/conductor:manageManage track lifecycle: archive, restore, delete, rename, and cleanup

Workflow

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

Installation

/plugin install conductor
