conductor CLAUDE.md

conductor CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from conductor-oss/conductor. It costs 662 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of instructions for writing accurate documentation for Conductor, an open-source workflow system that coordinates multi-step jobs across services. It tells agents to check source code first, including the real API paths and command definitions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when documenting REST APIs, command-line commands, workflow features, configuration, or other Conductor behavior that must be verified against the code.
Why use it?
It prevents documentation from describing endpoints, commands, or examples that the software does not actually provide.

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 CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Writing Documentation

Documentation in this project is derived from source, not composed from memory or intuition. The workflow is: open the source → read what's there → write the doc from what you find. The source is the spec; the doc is a rendering of it.

Concrete reason this matters: a curl equivalent for conductor workflow start --sync was once written as POST /api/workflow/{name}/run — an endpoint that does not exist. Opening WorkflowResource.java first would have given the correct path (POST /api/workflow/execute/{name}/{version}) immediately.

For each content type, start here

REST endpoint or curl example

  1. Open the controller: rest/src/main/java/com/netflix/conductor/rest/controllers/
  2. Find the method by its @PostMapping/@GetMapping annotation — copy the path literally.
  3. Read the method signature for query params, path variables, and request body.
  4. Write the curl from what you just read.

CLI command or flag

  1. Open conductor-cli/cmd/*.go (separate repo under this workspace).
  2. Find the cobra.Command for the subcommand and read its Flags() declarations.
  3. Write the example from what you just read — flag names, types, and defaults.

SDK code example (Python, JS, Java, Go)

  1. Open the SDK source file for the method you're documenting.
  2. Read the method signature and required parameters.
  3. If a working test exists for that method, use it as the starting point.
  4. Write from the signature — do not infer from the method name alone.

Expected output block

  1. Get real output: run the command, or find it in test fixtures or CI logs.
  2. Paste verbatim. Do not construct output that "looks right."
  3. For variable fields (IDs, timestamps), use annotated placeholders like <workflow-id>.

Editing an existing section

  • Before changing anything, read every code block and command in the section.
  • Verify each one using the steps above, not just the block you plan to change.
  • Fix anything you find while you're there.

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 CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository conductor-oss/conductor (32,172 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 662 tokens to every session, about $0.0033 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
