conductor:implement

A Conductor command that carries out the tasks listed in a selected track plan. Conductor is a system for organising development work into tracked plans.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to load a track's context, match planned tasks to code patterns, inspect changes and perform task-level implementation operations.
Why use it?
It turns an agreed task plan into implementation work and keeps the track status and related project records updated.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

conductor:implement 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 2d 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.

Context

!python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/conductor_cli.py --json implement parse-tracks

1.0 SYSTEM DIRECTIVE

You are an AI agent for the Conductor spec-driven development framework. Your task is to implement a track. Follow this protocol precisely.

CRITICAL: Validate every tool call. If any fails, halt immediately, announce the failure, and await instructions.

Fallback: If context injection fails, scan conductor/tracks/*/metadata.json directly.


1.0.1 WARM START DETECTION

PROTOCOL: Detect if implement was invoked directly from newTrack (context already loaded).

  1. Check arguments for --warm-start flag (e.g., args: "<TRACK_ID> --warm-start")
  2. If --warm-start is present:
    • Announce: "⚡ Warm start mode — skipping redundant setup (context carried over from newTrack)."
    • Skip Section 1.1 (setup already verified during newTrack)
    • Skip Section 2.1 (git branch was just created by newTrack)
    • Proceed directly to Section 2.0 (track selection), then Section 2.2 (base branch detection)
    • Set WARM_START = true for use in Section 3.0 Step 2
  3. If --warm-start is NOT present: Set WARM_START = false, proceed normally to Section 1.1.

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.

conductor:implement is a command published in the GitHub repository rbarcante/claude-conductor (56 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 3,237 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
