What problem does it solve?
Conductor provides a structured, repeatable workflow for AI agents to manage software projects: establish context, craft a precise spec and plan, and execute implementations with governance. It reduces miscommunication, accelerates delivery, and enforces a disciplined development lifecycle.
Core Concepts
- Track: A unit of work (feature or bug fix) with its own spec.md and plan.md
- Spec: Detailed requirements document (spec.md)
- Plan: Phased task list with checkboxes (plan.md)
- Workflow: Rules for task lifecycle, TDD, commits, and quality gates
