"Conductor shifts development context out of transient conversations and into persistent Markdown files stored directly in a repository. These files define product goals, architectural constraints, technology choices, and workflow preferences, and serve as the shared source of truth for both developers and AI agents. The intent is to make AI-assisted development more predictable, reviewable, and reproducible over time. Rather than moving directly from prompt to code, Conductor encourages a planning-first workflow."
"A core concept in Conductor is the track, which represents a discrete unit of work. Each track includes a written specification and a task-oriented plan broken into phases and subtasks. Implementation proceeds only after the plan is reviewed, with progress tracked directly in the plan file. Because state is stored in the repository, work can be paused, resumed, or modified without losing context."
Conductor is a preview extension for Gemini CLI that introduces a structured, context-driven approach to AI-assisted software development. Development context is moved from ephemeral conversations into persistent Markdown files stored in a repository that define product goals, architectural constraints, technology choices, and workflow preferences. Work is organized into tracks representing discrete units of work, each with a written specification and phased, task-oriented plan. Implementation happens only after plan review, and progress is tracked in the plan file. Because state lives in the repo, work can be paused, resumed, reviewed, or modified without losing context, improving predictability and reproducibility.
