How does this skill handle implementation status?

It uses a standardized set of markers ([ ], [~], [x], [!]) within the plan.md file to indicate whether tasks are pending, in-progress, completed with a commit SHA, or blocked.

Does this skill help with Git traceability?

Yes, it records commit SHAs directly in the implementation plan and track metadata, enabling Git-aware operations and making it easier to identify which changes belong to specific work units.

When should I split a track into multiple smaller units?

According to the skill's sizing guidelines, you should split a track if it exceeds 5 phases, 25 tasks, or is estimated to take more than one week of development time.

What is a 'track' in the Conductor system?

A track is a logical unit of work, such as a feature or bug fix, that encapsulates its own requirements (spec.md), roadmap (plan.md), and metadata to ensure organized development and easy progress tracking.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates the full lifecycle of development tasks through standardized specifications, implementation plans, and automated progress tracking.

About

This skill empowers Claude to manage complex development workflows using the 'Track' concept—logical work units that encapsulate features, bugs, chores, and refactors. By enforcing a structured progression from interactive requirement gathering (spec.md) to phased implementation plans (plan.md), it ensures every code change is documented, verified, and traceable. It is particularly useful for maintaining project velocity in multi-agent environments or complex repositories where clear scope boundaries and progress markers are essential for team coordination, git-aware operations, and architectural consistency.

Key Features

Lifecycle management for feature, bug, chore, and refactor tracks with unique identifier generation.
25,583 GitHub stars
Automated creation of structured spec.md and plan.md files with built-in quality checklists.
Standardized status marking and progress tracking using commit SHAs for full traceability.
Centralized track registry (tracks.md) and metadata management for real-time project visibility.
Interactive requirement gathering and dependency identification during the track initialization phase.

Use Cases

Breaking down complex features into actionable, phased implementation plans with verification checkpoints.
Standardizing bug fix workflows with explicit acceptance criteria and automated status updates.
Maintaining a transparent work registry to coordinate tasks across multiple agents or team members.
