Conductor Setup

Conductor Setup

Initialize or resume Conductor project setup. This command creates foundational project documentation through interactive Q&A.

Use this skill when

• Working on conductor setup tasks or workflows
• Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for conductor setup

Do not use this skill when

• The task is unrelated to conductor setup
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

• Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
• Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
• Provide actionable steps and verification.
• If detailed examples are required, open resources/​implementation-playbook.md.

Pre-flight Checks

1. Check if conductor/ directory already exists in the project root:

   • If conductor/​product.md exists: Ask user whether to resume setup or reinitialize
   • If conductor/​setup_state.json exists with incomplete status: Offer to resume from last step

2. Detect project type by checking for existing indicators:

   • Greenfield (new project): No .git, no package.json, no requirements.txt, no go.mod, no src/ directory
   • Brownfield (existing project): Any of the above exist

3. Load or create conductor/​setup_state.json:

   {
     "status": "in_progress",
     "project_type": "greenfield|brownfield",
     "current_section": "product|guidelines|tech_stack|workflow|styleguides",
     "current_question": 1,
     "completed_sections": [],
     "answers": {},
     "files_created": [],
     "started_at": "ISO_TIMESTAMP",
     "last_updated": "ISO_TIMESTAMP"
   }
   

Interactive Q&A Protocol

CRITICAL RULES:

• Ask ONE question per turn
• Wait for user response before proceeding
• Offer 2-3 suggested answers plus "Type your own" option
• Maximum 5 questions per section
• Update setup_state.json after each successful step
• Validate file writes succeeded before continuing
