Create a new conductor track with spec, plan, and metadata	tier1-orchestrator	true

/conductor-new-track

Create a new conductor track following the Surgical Methodology.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS - Track name and brief description

Protocol

1. Audit Before Specifying (MANDATORY): Before writing any spec, research the existing codebase:

   • Use py_get_code_outline on relevant files
   • Use py_get_definition on target classes
   • Use grep to find related patterns
   • Use get_git_diff to understand recent changes

   Document findings in a "Current State Audit" section.

2. Generate Track ID: Format: {name}_{YYYYMMDD} Example: async_tool_execution_20260303

3. Create Track Directory: conductor/tracks/{track_id}/

4. Create spec.md:

   # Track Specification: {Title}
   
   ## Overview
   [One-paragraph description]
   
   ## Current State Audit (as of {commit_sha})
   ### Already Implemented (DO NOT re-implement)
   - [Existing feature with file:line reference]
   
   ### Gaps to Fill (This Track's Scope)
   - [What's missing that this track will address]
   
   ## Goals
   - [Specific, measurable goals]
   
   ## Functional Requirements
   - [Detailed requirements]
   
   ## Non-Functional Requirements
   - [Performance, security, etc.]
   
   ## Architecture Reference
   - docs/guide_architecture.md#section
   - docs/guide_tools.md#section
   
   ## Out of Scope
   - [What this track will NOT do]
   

5. Create plan.md:

   # Implementation Plan: {Title}
   
   ## Phase 1: {Name}
   Focus: {One-sentence scope}
   
   - [ ] Task 1.1: {Surgical description with file:line refs}
   - [ ] Task 1.2: ...
   - [ ] Task 1.N: Write tests for Phase 1 changes
   - [ ] Task 1.X: Conductor - User Manual Verification
   
   ## Phase 2: {Name}
   ...
   

6. Create metadata.json:

   {
     "id": "{track_id}",
     "title": "{title}",
     "type": "feature|fix|refactor|docs",
     "status": "planned",
     "priority": "high|medium|low",
     "created": "{YYYY-MM-DD}",
     "depends_on": [],
     "blocks": []
   }
   

7. Update tracks.md: Add entry to conductor/tracks.md registry.

8. Report:

   ## Track Created
   
   **ID:** {track_id}
   **Location:** conductor/tracks/{track_id}/
   **Files Created:**
   - spec.md
   - plan.md
   - metadata.json
   
   **Next Steps:**
   1. Review spec.md for completeness
   2. Run `/conductor-implement` to begin execution
   

Surgical Methodology Checklist

• Audited existing code before writing spec
• Documented existing implementations with file:line refs
• Framed requirements as gaps, not features
• Tasks are worker-ready (WHERE/WHAT/HOW/SAFETY)
• Referenced architecture docs
• Mapped dependencies in metadata
