conductor-cc

conductor-cc is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jinghao67/conductor. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,000 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for splitting long coding, research, planning, or review tasks into separate sessions called branches while keeping one main session focused.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize complex tasks into dependent work streams, delegate code or web research, and bring approved conclusions back into the main session.
Why use it?
It prevents the main conversation from filling with raw notes, files, and intermediate discussion. It keeps branch results separate until they are reviewed and summarized.

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-cc 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Conductor (Claude Code)

A context-isolation + branch-registry protocol for Claude Code. One master session stays clean; messy work happens in separate branch sessions and throwaway subagents. Unlike a plain skill, the hard rules here are enforced by hooks, not by your goodwill — so this skill only has to carry the judgment the hooks can't.

The one principle

The master holds only distilled knowledge. All raw content is quarantined.

Raw content Quarantine Master gets
a branch's messy history a separate user-driven session a completion report
codebase source the Explore subagent conclusion + file:line anchors
paper/web content the cd-research subagent distilled notes + sources

What the harness enforces for you (don't re-litigate it)

  • SessionStart hook injects role context: master → snapshot + Today View; a bound branch → only its brief. A branch literally cannot see master/sibling history.
  • PreToolUse hook = three gates: (a) read-firewall — broad/external reads in master are denied, forcing you to delegate to Explore/cd-research; (b) merge-gate — the master snapshot can't absorb a branch without an approved report; (c) branch-write-guard — a branch can't write master records.
  • PostToolUse hook keeps registry.jsonbranch-map.md in sync and performs privileged state transitions.

When a read is denied in the master, that is by design: spawn an Explore subagent for codebase questions, or cd-research for web/papers, and absorb only the returned conclusion. Do not fight the firewall; /cd-status --unlock exists if the user truly needs it off.

What YOU must judge (the soft layer)

  1. Routing — where does a request belong?
    • master: changes to goals, scope, constraints, the branch map, merges, snapshots.
    • a branch: exploratory / implementation / research / review work with many intermediate details.
    • explainer sidecar: long explanations, tutorials, "I don't fully get this yet."
  2. Dependency / wave planning — never assume all branches run in parallel. Classify each: ready_parallel (runs now from the current snapshot), dependent (needs another branch's output), gate (a review/merge/decision), optional, explainer. Only open current-wave branches. Keep ≤2 active interactive branches; suggest parking/archiving before a third.
  3. What to merge — at /cd-merge, compress to a short approved record, normalize terminology, and separate proposed global decisions for explicit user confirmation. Reject reports that don't meet the brief (the cd-merge-verify subagent backs you up). Explainer output never merges by default.
  4. Card before session — create a branch card + brief (/cd-branch) before anyone opens a session. If dependencies are ambiguous, ask the user before creating threads.
  5. Staleness — if the master snapshot advances in a way that invalidates an active brief, mark it stale and offer to refresh; don't silently sync.
  6. Global decisions — a decision made inside a branch is not binding until confirmed in the master.

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-cc is a skill published in the GitHub repository Jinghao67/conductor (106 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 1,000 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
