conductor-setup

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Scaffolds the project and sets up the Conductor environment for Context-Driven Development. Use when starting a new project or initializing the Conductor workflow in an existing (brownfield) project. This skill guides the user through project discovery, product definition, tech stack configuration, and initial track planning.

Conductor Setup

Overview

This skill transforms a standard repository into a Conductor-managed project. It establishes the "Source of Truth" by creating structured documentation for the product vision, technical standards, and development workflows.

Workflow Overview

The setup process follows these sequential phases:

Project Discovery: Determines if the project is New (Greenfield) or Existing (Brownfield).
Product Definition: Collaborative creation of
```
product.md
```
and
```
product-guidelines.md
```
.
Tech Stack: Definition of the project's technical foundation in
```
tech-stack.md
```
.
Configuration: Selection of code style guides and customization of
```
workflow.md
```
.
Track Generation: Creation of the first unit of work (Track) with a
```
spec.md
```
and
```
plan.md
```
.

State Management

Conductor tracks setup progress in

conductor/setup_state.json

. If the session is interrupted, you MUST check this file to resume from the

last_successful_step

.

```
2.1_product_guide
```
→ Resume at Product Guidelines.
```
2.2_product_guidelines
```
→ Resume at Tech Stack.
```
2.3_tech_stack
```
→ Resume at Code Styleguides.
```
2.4_code_styleguides
```
→ Resume at Workflow.
```
2.5_workflow
```
→ Resume at Initial Track Generation.
```
3.3_initial_track_generated
```
→ Setup complete.

Implementation Details

Refer to the following protocols for detailed procedural instructions:

1. Initialization and Resolution

Resolution Protocol: references/resolution-protocol.md - How to find Conductor artifacts.
Project Discovery: references/project-discovery.md - Brownfield vs Greenfield detection logic.

2. Product Documentation

Product and Tech Stack: references/product-setup.md - Interactive questioning and document generation.

3. Standards and Workflow

Configuration: references/configuration.md - Copying templates and customizing the development cycle.

4. Planning the First Track

Track Generation: references/track-generation.md - Creating the first
```
spec.md
```
and
```
plan.md
```
.

Mandatory Constraints

TDD Integration: When generating
```
plan.md
```
, you MUST adhere to the TDD principles defined in
```
workflow.md
```
(Red/Green/Refactor tasks).
Universal File Resolution: ALWAYS use the protocol in
```
references/resolution-protocol.md
```
to find or verify files.
Git Hygiene: Setup concludes with a commit of all
```
conductor/
```
files.

Assets

Templates used during setup are located in

assets/templates/

:

```
workflow.md
```
: The base development workflow.
```
code_styleguides/
```
: Language-specific style guides (Python, TypeScript, Go, etc.).
