It turns your agent into a proactive project manager that follows a strict protocol to specify, plan, and implement software features and bug fixes. Instead of just writing code, Conductor ensures a consistent, high-quality lifecycle for every task: **Context -> Spec & Plan -> Implement**. The philosophy behind Conductor is simple: control your code. By treating context as a managed artifact alongside your code, you transform your repository into a single source of truth that drives every agent interaction with deep, persistent project awareness. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## 🛠 Installation Guide Conductor is packaged as a standard agent plugin, compatible across modern AI coding agents. Choose the installation method for your environment below. ### 1. Antigravity #### A. End-User Installation (Recommended) Install directly from GitHub in a single command: ```bash agy plugins install https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/conductor ``` #### B. Developer Installation (Live-Sync Global Link) If you are a developer or contributor who wants to fork the repository, write custom skills, or modify rule configurations, clone the repository locally and link it: 1. Clone the repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/conductor.git cd conductor ``` 2. Link globally for Antigravity: ```bash mkdir -p ~/.gemini/config/plugins/ && ln -sfn "$(pwd)" ~/.gemini/config/plugins/conductor ``` *Why this method?* Creating a symlink acts as a live development link. Any edits you make in your local Git branch are instantly loaded in real-time without reinstalling! #### C. Workspace-Level Isolation If you want to isolate Conductor strictly inside a specific Git project: 1. Create the local plugins directory in your target project's root: ```bash mkdir -p .agents/plugins/ ``` 2. Link Conductor to your local project: ```bash ln -sfn /absolute/path/to/cloned/conductor .agents/plugins/conductor ``` -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### 2. Claude Code #### End-User Installation Register the marketplace repository and install the Conductor plugin directly in your Claude Code session: ```bash /plugin marketplace add gemini-cli-extensions/conductor /plugin install conductor ``` -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## 🔄 Uninstallation To safely remove Conductor from your environment: * **Antigravity:** * **CLI Installation:** Run `agy plugins uninstall conductor` * **Global Link:** Run `rm -f ~/.gemini/config/plugins/conductor` * **Workspace Link:** Run `rm -f .agents/plugins/conductor` * **Claude Code:** Run `/plugin remove conductor` and `/plugin marketplace remove gemini-cli-extensions/conductor` -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## 🚀 Features - **Plan before you build**: Create specs and plans that guide the agent for new and existing codebases. - **Maintain context**: Ensure AI follows style guides, tech stack choices, and product goals. - **Iterate safely**: Review plans before code is written, keeping you firmly in the loop. - **Work as a team**: Set project-level context for your product, tech stack, and workflow preferences that become a shared foundation for your team. - **Build on existing projects**: Intelligent initialization for both new (Greenfield) and existing (Brownfield) projects. - **Smart revert**: A git-aware revert command that understands logical units of work (tracks, phases, tasks) rather than just commit hashes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## 🎨 Adaptive User Experience (UX Layer) Conductor natively adapts its user interface to match the specific visual capabilities of your active developer environment (IDE chat box, terminal console, or web editor). This is powered by the integrated **View Layer UX Adapter**: * **Interactive GUI Modals:** If your host editor supports visual interactive dialog elements, Conductor will automatically capture selections, decision interviews, and track options as native graphical modal dialog windows. * `rules/`: Custom adapter rules tailored for visual IDE environments (like Antigravity). * **Graceful CLI Fallback:** If you are operating in a plain text terminal console (such as Claude Code), Conductor automatically detects the console environment and adapts all interactive steps into clean, structured text-based choice menus with bracketed numbers (e.g., `[1] Option A, [2] Option B`). This dynamic, semantic adaptation occurs natively behind the scenes with **zero configuration required**, ensuring the optimal developer experience regardless of your chosen workflow environment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## 📖 Usage & Lifecycle Conductor manages the entire lifecycle of your development tasks through namespace-grouped commands. > [!NOTE] **Note on Token Consumption:** Conductor's spec-driven approach > involves reading and analyzing your project's context, specifications, and > plans. This can lead to increased token consumption, especially in larger > projects or during extensive planning and implementation phases. You can check > the token consumption in the current session by running `/stats model` (in > compatible clients). ### 1. Set Up the Project (Run Once) When you run `/conductor:conductor-setup`, Conductor helps you define the core components of your project context. This context is then used for building new components or features by you or anyone on your team. - **Product**: Define project context (e.g. users, product goals, high-level features). - **Product guidelines**: Define standards (e.g. prose style, brand messaging, visual identity). - **Tech stack**: Configure technical preferences (e.g. language, database, frameworks). - **Workflow**: Set team preferences (e.g. TDD, commit strategy). Uses `workflow.md` as a customizable template. **Generated Artifacts:** - `conductor/product.md` - `conductor/product-guidelines.md` - `conductor/tech-stack.md` - `conductor/workflow.md` - `conductor/code_styleguides/` - `conductor/tracks.md` ```bash /conductor:conductor-setup ``` ### 2. Start a New Track (Feature or Bug) When you’re ready to take on a new feature or bug fix, run `/conductor:conductor-new-track`. This initializes a **track** — a high-level unit of work. Conductor helps you generate two critical artifacts: - **Specs**: The detailed requirements for the specific job. What are we building and why? - **Plan**: An actionable to-do list containing phases, tasks, and sub-tasks. **Generated Artifacts:** - `conductor/tracks/<track_id>/spec.md` - `conductor/tracks/<track_id>/plan.md` - `conductor/tracks/<track_id>/metadata.json` ```bash /conductor:conductor-new-track # OR with a description /conductor:conductor-new-track "Add a dark mode toggle to the settings page" ``` ### 3. Implement the Track Once you approve the plan, run `/conductor:conductor-implement`. Your coding agent then works through the `plan.md` file, checking off tasks as it completes them. **Updated Artifacts:** - `conductor/tracks.md` (Status updates) - `conductor/tracks/<track_id>/plan.md` (Status updates) - Project context files (Synchronized on completion) ```bash /conductor:conductor-implement ``` During implementation, you can also monitor, revert, or review work using the following commands: * **Check status**: Get a high-level overview of your project's progress. ```bash /conductor:conductor-status ``` * **Revert work**: Safely undo a feature, phase, or a specific task. ```bash /conductor:conductor-revert ``` * **Review work**: Review completed work against guidelines and the plan. ```bash /conductor:conductor-review ``` -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## 📋 Commands Reference Command | Description | Generated Artifacts :------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :------------------ `/conductor:conductor-setup` | Scaffolds the project and sets up the Conductor environment. Run this once per project. | `conductor/product.md`<br>`conductor/product-guidelines.md`<br>`conductor/tech-stack.md`<br>`conductor/workflow.md`<br>`conductor/tracks.md` `/conductor:conductor-new-track` | Starts a new feature or bug track. Generates `spec.md` and `plan.md`. | `conductor/tracks/<id>/spec.md`<br>`conductor/tracks/<id>/plan.md`<br>`conductor/tracks.md` `/conductor:conductor-implement` | Executes the tasks defined in the current track's plan. | `conductor/tracks.md`<br>`conductor/tracks/<id>/plan.md` `/conductor:conductor-status` | Displays the current progress of the tracks file and active tracks. | Reads `conductor/tracks.md` `/conductor:conductor-revert` | Reverts a track, phase, or task by analyzing git history. | Reverts git history `/conductor:conductor-review` | Reviews completed work against guidelines and the plan. | Reads `plan.md`, `product-guidelines.md` -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## 💡 Best Practices for Task Corrections When a task or phase in your Conductor project wasn't completed correctly, you have three native recovery flows: 1. **Agile In-Flight Corrections**: If you notice an implementation gap while the agent is actively coding, specify the fix directly in the chat. The agent will natively adapt its coding loop and verify the fix before finalizing the task. 2. **Review Corrections (`/conductor:conductor-review`)**: If issues are caught after a task/phase is marked completed, run the review command. The review agent will audit changes, verify style guides, execute tests, and append a `Review Fixes` tracking phase to `plan.md` to resolve them. 3. **Safe State Reversions (`/conductor:conductor-revert`)**: If a task implementation is fundamentally flawed and needs a complete reset, run the revert command. This rolls back specific Git commits safely and resets the task state back to pending `[ ]` so you can prompt a fresh approach. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## 🚂 Getting Started (Natural Language Triggering) Once Conductor is installed in your environment, you don't need to memorize slash commands. You can interact with Conductor natively using natural language. Your active agent will dynamically recognize your intent and execute the corresponding Conductor protocol in the background: - **To Scaffold a Project**: > *"Let's create a new Conductor project"* or *"Run setup for Conductor"* - **To Plan a Feature**: > *"Let's start a new track to add a login screen"* or *"Create a plan for the dark mode track"* - **To Execute the Plan**: > *"Start implementing the active plan"* or *"Proceed with the implementation"* - **To Check Progress**: > *"How is our track progress going?"* or *"Show the current project status"* - **To Revert or Fix a Task**: > *"Revert the last completed task"* or *"Let's review the completed phase"* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## 📂 Repository Structure - `/skills`: The protocol logic (`SKILL.md`) for each command. - `/rules`: Platform-specific operational rules files. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## 🎓 Resources - [Antigravity Plugins Documentation](https://antigravity.google/docs/plugins): Official guidelines for using plugins in Antigravity. - [Claude Code Plugins Documentation](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/discover-plugins): Guidelines for managing plugins in Claude Code. - [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/conductor/issues): Report bugs or request features. - The team gratefully acknowledges Keith Ballinger's original [.conductor](https://github.com/keithballinger/.conductor) project as the groundwork for this repository. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## ⚖ License - License: [Apache License 2.0](https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/conductor/blob/HEAD/LICENSE) DetailsTypePluginsPublishergemini-cli-extensionsSourcegeminiCategoryToolsStars3,777Copies (forks)301Proposed changes14Last update2026-09-01T22:58:24ZProject statusActiveLanguagePythonLicenseApache-2.0Added2026-08-30 14:13:39Updated2026-08-30 14:13:39Source idgemini-cli-extensions/conductorMorePluginsAll from gemini-cli-extensionsA–Z index
