What Conductor does

Automates the iterative development of a single, tightly-scoped work item (bug, tweak, small feature) by running a doer→gate→judge cycle unattended, producing a gated pull request as the only human supervision point.

Conductor is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Conductor comes from a repository tagged agentic-platform, assemblyline, business, erp and lean.

README

Excerpt

conductor — autonomous doer→gate→judge loop

Iterate on one work item until its acceptance criteria are met and provable, without human input mid-loop — this skill runs unattended (the outer loop dispatches it headless via cron; see .ai/docs/outer-loop.md). Human review happens exactly once, at the end: ship a gated PR — never merge. Architecture context: .ai/docs/loop-system.md; the deterministic helpers live in packages/harness (see its AGENTS.md).

Announce at start: "Using the conductor skill — autonomous loop on {work item}."

Autonomous decision protocol — no mid-loop questions

The loop never waits on a human. Concretely:

Each one is a separate skill with its own page in this directory, installs the same way Conductor does, and is maintained by crbnos in that same repository. The rest of the collection is listed on the crbnos/carbon page.
How does Conductor compare to other AI Engineering skills?
Conductor ranks #827 by stars among the 3670 AI Engineering skills in this catalog. The most-starred ones next to it are Architecture Decision Records, AI-First Engineering and Agentic OS. DirSkills ranks by the star count of the repository each skill ships in, so that order reflects how popular those repositories are rather than any review of Conductor against them.
