Overview

Track Management

Guide for creating, managing, and completing Conductor tracks - the logical work units that organize features, bugs, and refactors through specification, planning, and implementation phases.

When to Use This Skill

  • Creating new feature, bug, or refactor tracks
  • Writing or reviewing spec.md files
  • Creating or updating plan.md files

Detailed patterns and worked examples

Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.

Best Practices

  1. One track, one concern: Keep tracks focused on a single logical change
  2. Small phases: Break work into phases of 3-5 tasks maximum
  3. Verification after phases: Always include verification tasks
  4. Update markers immediately: Mark task status as you work
  5. Record SHAs: Always note commit SHAs for completed tasks
  6. Review specs before planning: Ensure spec is complete before creating plan
  7. Link dependencies: Explicitly note track dependencies
  8. Archive, don't delete: Preserve completed tracks for reference
  9. Size appropriately: Keep tracks between 1-5 days of work
  10. Clear acceptance criteria: Every requirement must be testable
