Vibe Conductor FAQs

Question 1

What is Vibe Conductor and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

Vibe Conductor is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that orchestrates multiple AI agents, like Claude, for development task management. It uses a shared `tasks.md` Markdown file to enable atomic claiming, completing, and tracking of project tasks.

Question 2

How do AI agents interact with tasks in Vibe Conductor?

Accepted Answer

AI agents interact with tasks exclusively via Vibe Conductor's comprehensive MCP toolset, such as `claim_task` or `complete_task`. This ensures atomic operations and data consistency without direct file I/O from agents.

Question 3

Can humans still edit the `tasks.md` file directly while agents are working?

Accepted Answer

Yes, humans can freely edit the `tasks.md` file. Vibe Conductor watches for external changes and safely merges them, preserving agent-owned tasks and facilitating seamless human-agent collaboration.

Question 4

What is the task workflow for agents using Vibe Conductor?

Accepted Answer

Agents follow a simplified 'todo → in-progress → done' workflow. Vibe Conductor transparently handles more complex underlying file states like `[review:ID]`, `[test:ID]`, or `[commit:ID]` based on human input and agent actions.

Question 5

How does Vibe Conductor ensure data integrity and prevent conflicts?

Accepted Answer

Vibe Conductor ensures data integrity through several mechanisms: an async mutex wraps all mutations to prevent race conditions, atomic file writes ensure consistency, and a file watcher safely merges external human edits.
