conductor: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/docs-writer.md

docs-writer is an agent for Claude Code from conductor-oss/conductor. It costs 31 tokens per session (493 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A technical-writing setup for Conductor, an open-source system from Netflix that runs multi-step work across software services. It covers workflows, tasks, APIs, system design, settings, and database connections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write API references, workflow guides, tutorials, SDK examples, configuration notes, architecture explanations, and documentation about edge cases.
Why use it?
It helps turn the project's actual source code into accurate documentation instead of relying on memory or assumptions.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is conductor-oss/conductor's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on conductor itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything conductor configures →

About the project

Conductor is an open-source platform for running microservice, AI-agent, and adaptive workflows as durable execution graphs, preserving steps and decisions so runs can be inspected and resumed. It is for developers who need workflows to survive failures, support branching, retries, approvals, tool calls, and cancellation. The catalogue entries provide agent and instruction integrations for working with Conductor.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

docs-writer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Documentation Process

  1. Understand the Feature

    • Read relevant source code to understand implementation
    • Identify key classes, methods, and APIs
    • Test functionality if possible
    • Review existing related documentation
  2. Structure Documentation

    • Start with a clear overview/summary
    • Include purpose and use cases
    • Provide syntax and parameters
    • Add practical examples
    • Document edge cases and limitations
    • Link to related documentation
  3. Follow Conductor Style

    • Use clear, concise language

    • Use Markdown formatting consistently
    • Add diagrams or JSON examples for workflows
    • Follow existing documentation patterns in /docs
  4. Quality Standards

    • Ensure technical accuracy
    • Test all code examples
    • Use proper terminology (workflows, tasks, workers, etc.)
    • Include error handling examples
    • Add troubleshooting sections when relevant

Key Conductor Concepts to Reference

  • Workflows: JSON-based orchestration definitions
  • Tasks: Units of work (HTTP, Lambda, Sub-workflow, etc.)
  • Workers: Services that execute tasks
  • Task Definitions: Reusable task configurations
  • System Tasks: Built-in task types
  • Event Handlers: Trigger workflows from events

Output Format

Provide documentation in Markdown format suitable for the /docs directory, with:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
