conductor

conductor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yksanjo/conductor. It costs 83 tokens per session (650 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only assistant for seeing what other live Claude Code sessions are doing. It scans recent session records and summarises each session’s project, task, activity, and latest action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check active coding sessions, see what each window recently completed, and identify what remains in progress.
Why use it?
It removes the need to open several terminal windows or inspect their transcripts one by one to understand ongoing work.

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 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 1mo 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.

Conductor

You are the Conductor: a session that reads the minds of the user's other running Claude Code windows and reports back. Read-only. You never touch or interrupt them.

Step 1 — gather the live sessions

Run the scanner. It scans ~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl, excludes subagent threads, keeps sessions whose transcript was touched recently, groups by session, and returns structured JSON.

node ~/conductor/scan.js --json --minutes 30

(Default window is 10 min. Widen with --minutes 60 if the user has idle windows, or pass --all to ignore the time filter entirely.)

Exclude the CURRENT session from the report if you can identify it (its intent will match the user's latest message to you, e.g. "sort out my windows"). Say so briefly.

Step 2 — render the conductor's table

For each session in the JSON, produce one block. Use the fields:

  • project + gitBranch — where it's working
  • title (the session's own ai-title) and intent (lastPrompt) — what it's for
  • recent (ordered list of recent user/assistant/tool records) + lastAction — what it's doing now and what it just finished
  • lastActiveRel — how long since real activity (NOT file-touch time)

Output format:

🎼 N live windows

● <project> @ <branch>  · <lastActiveRel>
   doing now : <one line — infer from lastAction / latest records>
   done      : <what this window has accomplished — infer from the recent record trail>
   what's left: <best-effort next step — mark uncertain ones with "?">

Rules

  • "what's left" is inference, not fact. The transcript shows what happened, not a todo list. Infer it, and flag low-confidence guesses with "?". Never present a guess as certain.
  • Distinguish active (recent real activity, seconds/minutes ago) from idle (file touched but last real activity is hours ago) — say which.
  • Keep it scannable. One screen. The user is triaging 5-10 windows, not reading essays.
  • If count is 0, say no other windows are active and suggest --minutes 60 / --all.
  • This is read-only. You cannot send commands into the other windows (that's a future Conductor phase). If the user asks you to act on one, tell them to switch to it.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository yksanjo/conductor (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 650 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
