conductor AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for Conductor, an autonomous multi-session engineering orchestrator written in C# and .NET, with a Go terminal interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing Conductor's orchestration engine, its HTTP and server-sent-events control interface, or the face-go terminal user interface.
Why use it?
They give an agent the current architecture, reading order, known pitfalls, and verification rules before it edits the repository.

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 AGENTS.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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 371 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — what a session needs to know before it edits anything

Current state only. The append-only stack of nine superseded ## Resume here sections that used to live here is archived verbatim at docs/history/handoffs/AGENTS-resume-log-2026-07.md — nothing was deleted, it was moved so that this file is short enough to actually be read.

What this is

Conductor is an autonomous multi-session engineering orchestrator (C# / .NET 10). It spawns headless agent sessions, verifies their work independently (gate battery + git commits + tracker diff + a Verifier pass), is fully resumable, and reports to .conductor/REPORT.md. It drives itself: every era of this repo since Baton has been built by Conductor running a plan against Conductor.

The Face is face-go/ — a Go + Bubble Tea TUI over the engine's HTTP+SSE control plane. It is a disposable client: the run outlives it. (The TypeScript + Ink face was retired in Maestro M7; its history is in git, do not re-add it.)

The architecture map is ARCHITECTURE.md — the assemblies and the one allowed dependency direction, a session's lifecycle end to end, the seams, the two surfaces, the file-organisation convention, and a "where do I add X" table. Read it before your first edit.

The live era: Karvan

The active plan is Karvan core — the engine knows what it did and what it cost.

Spec docs/history/CONDUCTOR-KARVAN.md (mission, per-stage acceptance)
Plan plans/karvan/core.plan.json
Tracker plans/karvan/CORE-TRACKER.md — the ## Handoff block is the whole handover between sessions
Branch feat/karvan

Era artefacts live one folder per era, as plans/karvan/ does. Closed-era trackers are under docs/history/trackers/; closed-era specs under docs/history/.

Read order for a fresh session

  1. ARCHITECTURE.md — the map, and the file-organisation convention reviewers cite.
  2. plans/karvan/CORE-TRACKER.md, ## Handoff block — what the last session left you.
  3. Your stage's section of docs/history/CONDUCTOR-KARVAN.md — that section, not the whole document.
  4. docs/operating.md — driving a live run: commands, steering, the control plane, escalation.
  5. This file's standards sections below, before you write C#; face-go/STYLE.md before you touch the Face.

Changes

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 AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository shaahink/conductor (5 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 7,172 tokens to every session, about $0.0359 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 2026-08-31.
