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

1. 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

2. 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
