New Track
Create a new track (feature, bug fix, chore, or refactor) with a detailed specification and phased implementation plan.
Use this skill when
- Working on new track tasks or workflows
- Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for new track
Do not use this skill when
- The task is unrelated to new track
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
Instructions
- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
- If detailed examples are required, open
resources/implementation-playbook.md.
Pre-flight Checks
-
Verify Conductor is initialized:
- Check
conductor/product.md exists
- Check
conductor/tech-stack.md exists
- Check
conductor/workflow.md exists
- If missing: Display error and suggest running
/conductor:setup first
-
Load context files:
- Read
conductor/product.md for product context
- Read
conductor/tech-stack.md for technical context
- Read
conductor/workflow.md for TDD/commit preferences
Track Classification
Determine track type based on description or ask user:
What type of track is this?
1. Feature - New functionality
2. Bug - Fix for existing issue
3. Chore - Maintenance, dependencies, config
4. Refactor - Code improvement without behavior change
Interactive Specification Gathering
CRITICAL RULES:
- Ask ONE question per turn
- Wait for user response before proceeding
- Tailor questions based on track type
- Maximum 6 questions total
For Feature Tracks
Q1: Feature Summary
Describe the feature in 1-2 sentences.
[If argument provided, confirm: "You want to: {argument}. Is this correct?"]
Q2: User Story
Who benefits and how?
Format: As a [user type], I want to [action] so that [benefit].
Q3: Acceptance Criteria
