What it does

Conductor is an agent skill from freekmurze/dotfiles. Working with Conductor (conductor.build), the parallel-agent app. Creating local and cloud workspaces, the conductor CLI and public API, auth, sessions and messages, deep links, settings and setup scripts, environment variables, and writing briefs for handed-off agents. Use when asked to open, create, rename, archive, or inspect a workspace or session, spin up parallel agents, kick off or hand off work in Conductor, query conductor sql, debug a deep link that did not work, fix Conductor auth, or explain the…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Subagents and Secrets management. It works with SQL and Git.

When your agent uses it

  • Inspect a workspace
  • Spin up parallel agents
  • Hand off work in Conductor
  • Query conductor sql

Example prompts

  • “/conductor”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Cloud is Linux. If the repo's scripts.setup is Mac-specific it will partially fail. Read
  2. Cloud setup reads settings from the branch the workspace is created from, unlike the Mac app
  3. CONDUCTOR_PORT is unset in cloud, so run scripts that need it must be

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8874280. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • python3
    • codex
    • cursor
    • jq

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.conductor.build

    Also links to:

    • conductor.build

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Conductor loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 139 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,416 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~139
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:144
    ript that does `cp "$CONDUCTOR_ROOT_PATH/.env" .env` and links a Herd/Valet
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:220
    Conductor's "files to copy" defaults to `.env*` only.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,416 words (~3,137 tokens).

“Local workspaces are created with a conductor:// deep link. Cloud workspaces are created with the CLI or the API. The CLI cannot create a local workspace; do not go looking for a subcommand.”
