laneconductor

A development workflow for managing work across multiple software projects with a Kanban board, which is a visual task-tracking board. It can use a local database and dashboard or manage work through files.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps set up projects, organize work tracks, run workers, synchronize status and monitor progress through a local dashboard.
Why use it?
It gives developers a shared view of task status and worker activity across repositories instead of tracking each project separately.

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 C, and why

laneconductor scanned grade C 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

LaneConductor Skill

Sovereign Developer Environment — real-time visibility into AI-driven development across multiple repositories. Tracks progress through a local Postgres database and displays it on a Vite Kanban dashboard (port 8090).

Modes of Operation

  1. Full Local Stack (CLI-driven): Uses the lc CLI, local Postgres, and a Vite Kanban dashboard. Best for solo developers wanting a rich UI. Requires Node.js and a Unix-like environment (Linux/macOS/WSL).
  2. AI-Native / Skill-Only (Minimalist): No CLI or DB required. Simply copy this skill into your Claude Desktop, and the AI will manage everything through the filesystem (conductor/ folder). Perfect for Windows or lightweight environments.

Universal CLI (lc)

LaneConductor provides a global lc command to manage your projects without relying on an LLM or per-project Makefiles.

Installation

cd ~/Code/laneconductor
make install-cli

Core Commands

  • lc worker run <track>: Normally what you want. Runs a worker scoped to that track in the foreground and exits when it's done. It cannot claim any other queued track — unlike lc worker start --sync-and-work, which claims anything queued and will begin autonomous agent runs on every other track sitting in queue. (Track 1109)
  • lc worker start [--sync-and-work] [--only-tracks <n,n>] [--once]: Start the heartbeat worker in the background. --only-tracks restricts what it may claim — it narrows only, and can never widen a server-side permission decision; --once exits when that scoped work is finished. A second, independent gate sits alongside --only-tracks and the assignee gate: a track's own **Auto Run** marker (default no — see the marker table above) must also be yes before autoLaunchLocalFs's auto-launch loop will pick it up from the queue. --only-tracks naming a track does NOT bypass auto_run: false — it can only narrow further, never force a run; use lc worker run <track> for that. Like the assignee gate, this is bypassed for a track that's mid-conversation (waiting_for_reply: true), and never applies to lc worker run <track> or explicit dispatch (worker_dispatch), which are direct human/manager instructions, not auto-picking from the open queue. (Track 10017)
  • lc worker stop: Stop the background heartbeat worker.
  • lc worker restart: Restart the background heartbeat worker.
  • lc worker status: Check the health and PID of the local worker.
  • lc worker logs: Stream the worker's activity logs.
  • lc worker sync: Manually trigger an immediate fan-out synchronization across all targets.
  • lc status: Show a Kanban board of tracks in the terminal (with worker health check).
  • lc ui [start|stop]: Manage the Vite dashboard.
  • lc new "Title" "Description": Create a new track.
  • lc setup: Initialize a new project with LaneConductor.
  • lc add-target --url <url> [--key <key>] [--store-type gcp-secret] [--secret-name <name>]: Add a sync endpoint.
  • lc add-target --type jira --domain <domain> --email <email> --project-key <key> [--token-env <env>]: Add a Jira sync target.
  • lc add-target-mapping --lane <lc_lane> --target "<target_status>": Configure custom Jira status mapping for a specific Lane. (Example: lc add-target-mapping --lane implement --target "In Progress")
  • lc list-targets: Show all sync targets and their active/disabled status.

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.

laneconductor is a skill published in the GitHub repository meller/laneconductor (11 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 29,032 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
