+## Track Initialization Protocol
+
+When starting a new track:
+
+1. **Read track context:**
+   - `conductor/tracks.md` - active tracks
+   - `conductor/tech-stack.md` - technology constraints
+   - `conductor/product.md` - product vision
+
+2. **Audit existing state:**
+   - Use `manual-slop_py_get_code_outline` to map files
+   - Use `manual-slop_get_git_diff` to check recent changes
+   - Document "Current State Audit" in spec
+
+3. **Create track spec:**
+   - Follow spec template with: Overview, Current State Audit, Goals, Requirements
+   - Include Architecture Reference section
+
+4. **Initialize track directory:**
+   - Create `conductor/tracks/{name}_{YYYYMMDD}/`
+   - Write spec.md, plan.md, metadata.json
+
