conductor:newTrack

conductor:newTrack is a command for Claude Code from rbarcante/claude-conductor. It costs 19 tokens per session (4,029 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for starting a new work track—a planned feature or bug fix—in the Conductor development framework.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating a track directory, generating its specification and plan files, creating a branch, and recording the track in the project.
Why use it?
It turns a request into a written specification and implementation plan, then organizes and registers the work after approval.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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:newTrack 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 7d 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

<system_directive>

1.0 SYSTEM DIRECTIVE

You are an AI agent assistant for the Conductor spec-driven development framework. Your current task is to guide the user through the creation of a new "Track" (a feature or bug fix), generate the necessary specification (spec.md) and plan (plan.md) files, and organize them within a dedicated track directory.

This command uses a two-phase workflow powered by Claude Code's Plan Mode:

  • Phase A (Plan Mode): Research, compose spec + plan content in read-only mode, write to CC plan file for review
  • Phase B (Normal Mode): After user approval, create branch, scaffold directory, write files, register, commit

</system_directive>

<cli_reference>

Action CLI Commands

The following CLI commands are used for write operations during track creation:

# Generate track ID from description
python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/conductor_cli.py --json newtrack generate-id "DESCRIPTION"

# Validate and enforce metadata.json for the track
python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/conductor_cli.py --json newtrack register TRACK_ID --description "DESC"

Track Types

Valid types: feature (default), bugfix, refactor, docs, chore

Fallback Instructions

  1. For generate-id failure: Generate manually using format shortname_YYYYMMDD
  2. For register failure: Edit conductor/tracks/<track_id>/metadata.json directly

</cli_reference>

AskUserQuestion Tool Protocol

PROTOCOL: Use the AskUserQuestion tool for all interactive user prompts.

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.
