Conductor Setup - Project Initialization and Configuration Tool

Overview

Conductor Setup is a tool that automatically generates foundational project documents and configuration files through interactive Q&A, helping developers quickly establish a standardized project structure.

Use Cases

1. New Project Initialization

When you start a brand-new development project, Conductor Setup guides you through key configurations such as product definition, tech stack selection, and workflow conventions, automatically generating a full set of documents under the conductor/ directory.

2. Standardizing Existing Projects

For projects with existing code, Conductor Setup can automatically detect the current tech stack and configuration files, fill in missing project documentation, and help the team establish unified development standards.

3. Standardizing Team Collaboration

By generating code style guides, workflow conventions, and product guides, Conductor Setup helps team members quickly understand project standards and conventions.

Core Features

Interactive Project Configuration

Collect project information through step-by-step Q&A, including product definition, tech stack, workflow preferences, etc. Supports the --resume parameter to continue from an interruption point, minimizing repeated input.

Intelligent Project Detection

Automatically identify project type (new/existing) and parse existing configuration files (package.json, requirements.txt, etc.) to pre-fill tech stack information for confirmation.

Automatic Documentation Generation

Generate seven types of project documents with a single action:

• index.md - navigation center
• product.md - product definition
• product-guidelines.md - product guidelines
• tech-stack.md - tech stack description
• workflow.md - workflow conventions
• tracks.md - feature tracking table
• code_styleguides/ - code style guides

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Conductor Setup?

Conductor Setup is a built-in skill of Claude Code used to initialize projects and generate project documents according to the Conductor specification. It collects project information via interactive Q&A and automatically creates product definitions, tech stacks, workflows, and code style guides.

Can existing projects use Conductor Setup?

Yes. Conductor Setup automatically detects the project type. For existing projects, it parses package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, and other configuration files to infer the tech stack, then guides you to fill in missing project documentation.

How do I resume an interrupted Conductor setup?

Use the /conductor-setup --resume command or simply run /conductor-setup. The system will automatically detect the conductor/setup_state.json file and continue from the interruption point without starting over.
