Scan conductor/ directory for project direction, workflows, and task planning when present

  • Works in 4 steps: Check if conductor/ directory exists at… → If present, read core files to… → For active tracks (marked [~]), read the… → …
  • Tasks that involve Planning
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Conductor Directory Structure, File Purposes and How to Scan, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Use Conductor is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Scan conductor/ directory for project direction, workflows, and task planning when present

Its SKILL.md is about 790 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Planning. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Planning

Example prompts

  • “/use-conductor”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check if conductor/ directory exists at project root
  2. If present, read core files to understand project context
  3. For active tracks (marked [~]), read the track's plan.md to find current tasks
  4. Follow the workflow methodology defined in workflow.md

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Use Conductor loads about 787 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 263 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~787

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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 263 words (~787 tokens).

“Scan the conductor/ directory at project root for structured project management files that provide direction, workflows, and task planning context.”
