What it does
Conducty Bootstrap is an agent skill from robertbarclayy/conducty. First-run walkthrough for Conducty. Confirms vault location, seeds indexes if missing, ingests the user's primary project via [[conducty-context]], and produces a tiny scoped first plan so the user sees the cycle end-to-end. Use when the user says "set up Conducty", "first time", "get started", "bootstrap", "I just installed Conducty", or when no plans yet exist in the vault.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Testing & QA. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: Stop context-switching. Start batch-planning. Conducty replaces the fragmented cycle of plan → prompt → wait → get distracted → review → fix → repeat with advanced batch planning. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user says set up Conducty
- I just installed Conducty
- No plans yet exist in the vault
Example prompts
- “set up Conducty”
- “first time”
- “get started”
- “/conducty-bootstrap”
Workflow steps
10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 64aefd5. 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
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Conducty Bootstrap loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 724 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Conducty Bootstrap — First-Run Walkthrough
The fastest path from "just installed" to "first finished plan." Bootstrap is opinionated: it picks a small first goal so the user sees the entire cycle (Plan → Execute → Verify → Improve) without committing to anything ambitious.
[!important] One-shot skill Bootstrap is meant to run once per machine. After it completes, the cycle is self-sustaining via [[conducty-plan]].
When to Use
- The user just ran
install-claude-code.shand is starting their first session - The user says "set up Conducty", "first time", "get started", "bootstrap"
- A
Glob Plans/Plan *.mdagainst the vault returns zero results — auto-trigger this skill
Workflow
Step 1: Confirm the Vault
Resolve $CONDUCTY_VAULT (default ~/Obsidian/Conducty/). Confirm with the user:
"Conducty vault is at
<resolved path>. Open this directory in Obsidian to navigate the graph as we build it. OK to proceed?"
If the user wants a different path, ask them to set $CONDUCTY_VAULT in their shell profile and re-run. Do not silently move the vault.
Step 2: Seed Missing Indexes + Accumulators
Use [[conducty-obsidian]]'s bootstrap section. Create any missing:
- Indexes:
Conducty Index,Plans Index,Designs Index,Context Index,Improvements Index - Accumulators:
Failure Patterns,Metrics,Prompt Log
If the installer already seeded them, this is a no-op.
Step 3: First Project — Ingest Context
Ask:
"Which project would you like Conducty to start with? Give me the path."
Run [[conducty-context]] on that path. The output is the project sub-graph: hub, Architecture, Conventions, Invariants, Hotspots, Tests, Glossary.
Briefly summarize for the user: bounded contexts found, test command resolved, any concerns flagged.
Step 4: Pick a Tiny First Goal
Suggest a Low-complexity goal — something the user will see succeed inside 30 minutes. Examples:
- "Add a small utility function with TDD" (writes one function + tests)
- "Improve a single error message in module X"
- "Write a test for a previously-untested branch"
Refuse to bootstrap with a Medium/High goal — the point is to walk the cycle, not ship a feature.
Step 5: Generate the First Plan (Reduced Ceremony)
Run [[conducty-plan]] with the chosen goal and an appetite of 30 minutes. Produce a single-prompt plan in Group A (no parallelization, no tracer needed because there's only one). Review level: verify-only.
Step 6: Execute Manually
Do not auto-dispatch via [[conducty-execute]] on the first plan. Walk the user through manual execution:
- Open a fresh Claude Code session in the project directory
- Paste the prompt
- Watch the implementer work
- Run the verification command yourself
The point is for the user to feel the prompt's structure (acceptance criteria, no-go zones, escalation) before delegating it.
Step 7: Run Checkpoint
Use [[conducty-checkpoint]] on the single-prompt group. Verify result via [[conducty-verify]].
Show full SKILL.md (293 more words)Show less
Step 8: Run Review + Improve
Run [[conducty-review]] to update Metrics, Prompt Log. Then run [[conducty-improve]] to write the first Improvement YYYY-MM-DD HHmm.md. Encourage the user to read both — they're the feedback loop.
Step 9: Tour the Vault
Have the user open Obsidian on the vault. Walk them through:
Conducty Index(the root hub)- The new plan note
- The context sub-graph for the project
- The accumulating notes (
Failure Patterns,Metrics,Prompt Log) - The graph view — show how the plan, design (if any), context, and improvement are linked
Step 10: Hand Off to Plan
Tell the user:
"From here, every working session starts with [[conducty-plan]]. The vault now has a baseline. Future plans will read this graph and get sharper."
Bootstrap is complete. Do not run again on this machine unless the vault is wiped.
What Bootstrap Skips
- No shaping (
conducty-shape) — first goal must be Low complexity, design is overkill - No worktrees — single prompt, no parallelism
- No code review or ship — first plan is intentionally throwaway / educational
- No
conducty-dialectic— we're not making architectural decisions on bootstrap
Failure Modes
- Vault path inaccessible: report the error, suggest creating the parent directory, and abort.
- Project has no test command discoverable: ask the user; record in
Context {Project} Tests. Do not invent one. - Project is not a git repo: warn but proceed. [[conducty-debug]] won't have
git diffaccess; flag for the user. - User picks a Medium/High goal: politely refuse and ask for something smaller. "Bootstrap is for cycle-feel. We'll do real work after."
Principles
- Throwaway first plan — the goal is muscle memory, not feature delivery
- Manual execution on bootstrap — feel the prompt before delegating
- Vault tour is part of onboarding — the user must see the graph come alive
- One-shot skill — bootstrap doesn't run twice; subsequent plans go through [[conducty-plan]]
