Master coordinator for the Evaluate-Loop workflow v3. Supports GOAL-DRIVEN entry, PARALLEL execution via worker agents, BOARD OF DIRECTORS deliberation, and message bus coordination. Dispatches specialized workers dynamically, monitors via message bus, aggregates results. Uses metadata.json v3 for parallel state tracking. Use when: '/go <goal>', '/conductor implement', 'start track', 'run the loop', 'orchestrate', 'automate track'.
File-based message queue for inter-agent coordination. Used by workers AND board directors to communicate. Provides: progress updates, task completion signals, file locking, board deliberation. Core infrastructure for parallel execution.
Loads relevant patterns and known errors before track planning. Searches conductor/knowledge/ for solutions we've used before and errors we've encountered. Injects findings into the planner prompt to prevent reinventing solutions and repeating mistakes. Triggered automatically by orchestrator before PLAN step.
Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes
Manage Conductor tracks, phases, and tasks. Use when working with track status, updating task markers, or navigating between tracks. Enforces the Evaluate-Loop workflow.
You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.
Evaluate-Loop Step 1: PLAN. Use this agent when starting a new track or feature to create a detailed execution plan. Reads spec.md, loads project context, and produces a phased plan.md with specific tasks, acceptance criteria, and dependencies. Triggered by: 'plan feature', 'create plan', 'start track', '/conductor implement' (planning phase).
Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements
