A Gemini CLI extension for context-driven development that manages the specification, planning, and implementation lifecycle of software features.
Conductor is a Gemini CLI extension that enables Context-Driven Development by managing the complete lifecycle of software features and bug fixes. It transforms the Gemini CLI into a proactive project manager that follows a strict protocol to specify, plan, and implement tasks while maintaining persistent project context.
Development teams using Gemini CLI who want structured AI-assisted development with consistent processes, particularly those working on both new and existing codebases requiring maintained context.
Developers choose Conductor because it enforces quality through planning-first workflows, maintains project context as shared artifacts, and provides git-aware tools for safe iteration—keeping teams in control while leveraging AI assistance.
Conductor is a Gemini CLI extension that allows you to specify, plan, and implement software features.

Conductor requires creating detailed specs and plans before coding, ensuring thorough requirement gathering and reducing implementation errors. From the README: 'Plan before you build: Create specs and plans that guide the agent.'
Maintains project context like tech stack and product goals in shared files, providing a single source of truth for team collaboration. README states: 'Maintain context: Ensure AI follows style guides, tech stack choices, and product goals.'
Offers git-aware revert for logical units like tracks or tasks, making rollbacks more intuitive than commit-based reverts. As per README: 'Smart revert: A git-aware revert command that understands logical units of work.'
Facilitates shared workflows and context, making it easier for teams to standardize AI-assisted development. README: 'Work as a team: Set project-level context for your product, tech stack, and workflow preferences.'
The context-driven approach increases token usage, especially for large projects or extensive planning phases, as noted in the README: 'This can lead to increased token consumption...' This can raise costs and limit efficiency.
Conductor is exclusively a Gemini CLI extension, limiting its use to that platform and preventing integration with other AI tools or development environments, creating vendor dependency.
Requires running /conductor:setup to generate multiple context files, which can be time-consuming and may feel cumbersome for quick projects or those with simple needs.
