conductor-context

name: conductor-context description: Auto-load Conductor project context when conductor/ directory exists. Use for any development task in a Conductor-managed project to ensure alignment with product goals, tech stack, and workflow methodology. allowed-tools: Read, Glob

Conductor Context Awareness

This skill provides automatic context loading for Conductor-managed projects.

When to Activate

Activate this skill when:

• A conductor/ directory exists in the project
• User is asking about implementation tasks
• User is working on features or bugs
• User mentions "the plan" or "tracks"

Context Files

When detected, consider these files:

1. Product Context (conductor/product.md)

Contains:

• Product vision and goals
• Target users
• Key features
• Success metrics

Use for: Understanding WHAT we're building and WHY.

2. Tech Stack (conductor/tech-stack.md)

Contains:

• Programming languages
• Frameworks
• Databases
• Key libraries
• Architecture decisions

Use for: Making technology choices consistent with project standards.

3. Workflow (conductor/workflow.md)

Contains:

• Development methodology (likely TDD)
• Coverage requirements
• Commit conventions
• Quality gates

Use for: Following the established development process.

4. Tracks (conductor/tracks.md)

Contains:

• List of all tracks (features/bugs)
• Current status of each
• Links to track details

Use for: Understanding current work and priorities.

5. Code Styleguides (conductor/code_styleguides/)

Contains:

• Language-specific coding standards
• Naming conventions
• Best practices

Use for: Writing code that matches project conventions.

Quick Reference

Before Starting Implementation

1. Check conductor/tracks.md for current track
2. Read the track's spec.md for requirements
3. Read the track's plan.md for tasks
4. Follow conductor/workflow.md methodology

During Implementation

• Follow TDD if specified in workflow.md
• Meet coverage targets from workflow.md
• Use commit format from workflow.md
• Apply styleguides from code_styleguides/

Key Context Points

Integration with Other Skills

This skill works with:

• tdd-workflow: For test-driven development guidance
• code-styleguides: For language-specific conventions

Common Patterns

Finding Current Task

# Find in-progress items
grep -r "\[~\]" conductor/tracks/*/plan.md

Understanding Track Status

# Count by status
grep -c "\[ \]" conductor/tracks.md  # Pending
grep -c "\[~\]" conductor/tracks.md  # In Progress
grep -c "\[x\]" conductor/tracks.md  # Complete

Loading Full Context

Read in this order:

1. conductor/product.md (the why)
2. conductor/tech-stack.md (the how)
3. conductor/tracks.md (the what)
4. Current track's spec.md and plan.md
