# 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
| Command | Description |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `/conductor:setup` | Initialize project with product definition, tech stack, workflow, and style guides |
| `/conductor:new-track` | Create a feature or bug track with spec.md and plan.md |
| `/conductor:implement` | Execute tasks from the plan following workflow rules |
| `/conductor:status` | Display project progress overview |
| `/conductor:revert` | Git-aware undo by track, phase, or task |

## 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
## Installation
```bash
claude --plugin-dir /path/to/conductor
```
Or copy to your project's `.claude-plugin/` directory.
