Context Driven Development
Creates a `conductor/` directory with structured project documentation including product.md, tech-stack.md, workflow.md, and tracks.md files. Useful when starting new projects or trying to wrangle existing codebases into something more maintainable. The setup command analyzes your existing code to pre-populate context files, which beats starting from scratch every time you talk to an AI assistant. Main benefit is keeping your project context consistent across development sessions instead of re-explaining your tech stack and goals repeatedly. Works better for teams than solo projects since the overhead pays off when onboarding people.
