track-management
🎯SkillHelps you organize coding work in Conductor as tracks, where each track is one feature, bug fix or code cleanup. It guides you in writing the spec.md and plan.md files and moving each track from start to finish.
Installation
npx skills add wshobson/agents --skill track-managementRun it in a terminal; it asks which AI coding tools to install it for (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and more).
Uses skills.sh · Node.js 22.20+
After installing
Ask for related work and the agent uses it on its own, or call it yourself.

What this skill does
Overview
This skill helps an AI assistant create and manage Conductor tracks. A track is one unit of work, such as a new feature, a bug fix or a refactor. A refactor means restructuring code without changing what it does. Each track moves through three phases: writing a spec, making a plan and doing the work.
Key Features
- Create new tracks for features, bugs or refactors.
- Write or review spec.md files that describe what the work must achieve.
- Create and update plan.md files that split the work into small phases.
- Mark task status and record commit IDs as you finish each task.
- Keep the tracks.md list up to date and archive finished tracks instead of deleting them.
Who is this for?
It suits developers who already use Conductor to organize work with an AI assistant. It helps keep each piece of work small, about 1 to 5 days, with clear checks for when it is done.

Track Management
Guide for creating, managing, and completing Conductor tracks - the logical work units that organize features, bugs, and refactors through specification, planning, and implementation phases.
When to Use This Skill
- Creating new feature, bug, or refactor tracks
- Writing or reviewing spec.md files
- Creating or updating plan.md files
- Managing track lifecycle from creation to completion
- Understanding track status markers and conventions
- Working with the tracks.md registry
- Interpreting or updating track metadata
Detailed patterns and worked examples
Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.
Best Practices
- One track, one concern: Keep tracks focused on a single logical change
- Small phases: Break work into phases of 3-5 tasks maximum
- Verification after phases: Always include verification tasks
- Update markers immediately: Mark task status as you work
- Record SHAs: Always note commit SHAs for completed tasks
- Review specs before planning: Ensure spec is complete before creating plan
- Link dependencies: Explicitly note track dependencies
- Archive, don't delete: Preserve completed tracks for reference
- Size appropriately: Keep tracks between 1-5 days of work
- Clear acceptance criteria: Every requirement must be testable
