Conductor Implement V2

Implement Track

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/conductor-implement from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

Implement Track Execute tasks from a track's implementation plan, following the workflow rules defined in conductor/workflow.md.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Pre-flight Checks, Track Selection, Context Loading, Track Status Update, Task Execution Loop, Error Handling During Implementation.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• Working on implement track tasks or workflows
• Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for implement track
• The task is unrelated to implement track
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Execute tasks from a track's implementation plan following TDD workflow.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.

Operating Table

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
2. Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
3. Provide actionable steps and verification.
4. If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.
5. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
6. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
7. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.

Imported Workflow Notes

Imported: 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.

Imported: Pre-flight Checks

1. Verify Conductor is initialized:

   • Check conductor/product.md exists
   • Check conductor/workflow.md exists
   • Check conductor/tracks.md exists
   • If missing: Display error and suggest running /conductor:setup first

2. Load workflow configuration:

   • Read conductor/workflow.md
   • Parse TDD strictness level
   • Parse commit strategy
   • Parse verification checkpoint rules

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @conductor-implement-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @conductor-implement-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @conductor-implement-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @conductor-implement-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• NEVER skip verification checkpoints - Always wait for user approval between phases
• STOP on any failure - Do not attempt to continue past errors
• Follow workflow.md strictly - TDD, commit strategy, and verification rules are mandatory
• Keep plan.md updated - Task status must reflect actual progress
• Commit frequently - Each task completion should be committed
• Track all commits - Record commit hashes in metadata.json for potential revert
• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/conductor-implement, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported Reference Notes

Imported: Track Selection

If argument provided:

• Validate track exists: conductor/tracks/{argument}/plan.md
• If not found: Search for partial matches, suggest corrections

If no argument:

1. Read conductor/tracks.md

2. Parse for incomplete tracks (status [ ] or [~])

3. Display selection menu:

   Select a track to implement:
   
   In Progress:
   1. [~] auth_20250115 - User Authentication (Phase 2, Task 3)
   
   Pending:
   2. [ ] nav-fix_20250114 - Navigation Bug Fix
   3. [ ] dashboard_20250113 - Dashboard Feature
   
   Enter number or track ID:
   

Imported: Context Loading

Load all relevant context for implementation:

1. Track documents:

   • conductor/tracks/{trackId}/spec.md - Requirements
   • conductor/tracks/{trackId}/plan.md - Task list
   • conductor/tracks/{trackId}/metadata.json - Progress state

2. Project context:

   • conductor/product.md - Product understanding
   • conductor/tech-stack.md - Technical constraints
   • conductor/workflow.md - Process rules

3. Code style (if exists):

   • conductor/code_styleguides/{language}.md

Imported: Track Status Update

Update track to in-progress:

1. In conductor/tracks.md:

   • Change [ ] to [~] for this track

2. In conductor/tracks/{trackId}/metadata.json:

   • Set status: "in_progress"
   • Update updated timestamp

Imported: Task Execution Loop

For each incomplete task in plan.md (marked with [ ]):

1. Task Identification

Parse plan.md to find next incomplete task:

• Look for lines matching - [ ] Task X.Y: {description}
• Track current phase from structure

2. Task Start

Mark task as in-progress:

• Update plan.md: Change [ ] to [~] for current task
• Announce: "Starting Task X.Y: {description}"

3. TDD Workflow (if TDD enabled in workflow.md)

Red Phase - Write Failing Test:

Following TDD workflow for Task X.Y...

Step 1: Writing failing test

• Create test file if needed
• Write test(s) for the task functionality
• Run tests to confirm they fail
• If tests pass unexpectedly: HALT, investigate

Green Phase - Implement:

Step 2: Implementing minimal code to pass test

• Write minimum code to make test pass
• Run tests to confirm they pass
• If tests fail: Debug and fix

Refactor Phase:

Step 3: Refactoring while keeping tests green

• Clean up code
• Run tests to ensure still passing

4. Non-TDD Workflow (if TDD not strict)

• Implement the task directly
• Run any existing tests
• Manual verification as needed

5. Task Completion

Commit changes (following commit strategy from workflow.md):

git add -A
git commit -m "{commit_prefix}: {task description} ({trackId})"

Update plan.md:

• Change [~] to [x] for completed task
• Commit plan update:

git add conductor/tracks/{trackId}/plan.md
git commit -m "chore: mark task X.Y complete ({trackId})"

Update metadata.json:

• Increment tasks.completed
• Update updated timestamp

6. Phase Completion Check

After each task, check if phase is complete:

• Parse plan.md for phase structure
• If all tasks in current phase are [x]:

Run phase verification:

Phase {N} complete. Running verification...

• Execute verification tasks listed for the phase
• Run full test suite: npm test / pytest / etc.

Report and wait for approval:

Phase {N} Verification Results:
- All phase tasks: Complete
- Tests: {passing/failing}
- Verification: {pass/fail}

Approve to continue to Phase {N+1}?
1. Yes, continue
2. No, there are issues to fix
3. Pause implementation

CRITICAL: Wait for explicit user approval before proceeding to next phase.

   1. Continue from where we left off
   2. Restart current task
   3. Show progress summary first
   

Imported: Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
