Conductor (Google)
Google's context-driven development plugin: product/tech-stack context files, then per-track spec.md and plan.md, implementation with checkpoints and git-aware revert.
github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/conductorMaintenance
Last release conductor-v0.4.1 on 2026-03-11; last commit 2026-09-01 (catalog URL fix); now packaged as a plugin for Antigravity and Claude Code (checked 2026-10-25)
In Spec-driven development
Where it stands apart
- Is it actively maintained? maintenance or slowing (11% of 19 others)
- How is it mainly sustained? big company side project (6% of 18 others)
- After implementation, what built-in step keeps specs and code aligned? (if several, the first that applies) a step folds changes back into the specs (17% of 18 others)
- Which coding agents does it work with? one to four named third-party agents (11% of 18 others)
What it shares with most of the community
- How is the main thing licensed? permissive open source (MIT/Apache/BSD) (74% of 19 others)
- Can it run entirely on your own device or infrastructure, without the maker's servers? yes (79% of 19 others)
- Do you need an account to use it? no account (74% of 19 others)
- Who is it for? developers (100% of 19 others)
- What format are specs written in? markdown from templates or free-form (67% of 18 others)
- Where do specs live? plain files in the project repository (89% of 19 others)
- How is the path from idea to code structured? a fixed sequence of phases (e.g. requirements, design, tasks) (53% of 19 others)
- Does a human approve the spec or plan before code is written? yes, the workflow waits for approval (50% of 18 others)
- By default, once a plan is approved, how is implementation run? the human drives it, phase by phase or task by task (50% of 18 others)
- What does it offer teams beyond sharing files in git? (if both, pick the paid product) nothing beyond git (50% of 18 others)

| Do you need an account to use it? | no account Plugin installed from GitHub; no sign-up. Host agent (Gemini/Claude) has its own login. | source 2026-10-26 |
| Who is it for? | developers | source 2026-10-25 |
| Which shared standard or format does it mainly build on? | Agent Skills (SKILL.md) README: /skills holds the protocol logic (SKILL.md) for each command. | source 2026-10-26 |
| Once code exists, what is the spec? | a living document kept current alongside the code 'treating context as a managed artifact'; project context files 'synchronized on completion'. | source 2026-10-25 |
| After implementation, what built-in step keeps specs and code aligned? (if several, the first that applies) | stands apart a step folds changes back into the specs Project context files updated on track completion; /conductor-review checks against plan. | source 2026-10-25 |

| Where do specs live? | plain files in the project repository conductor/ folder. | source 2026-10-25 |
| Which coding agents does it work with? | stands apart one to four named third-party agents Antigravity, Claude Code (and Gemini CLI originally). | source 2026-10-25 |
| What form does it mainly ship in? | prompts, skills, or slash commands installed into an agent (even if a CLI installs them) | source 2026-10-25 |
| How is the path from idea to code structured? | a fixed sequence of phases (e.g. requirements, design, tasks) Context -> Spec & Plan -> Implement. | source 2026-10-25 |
| Does a human approve the spec or plan before code is written? | yes, the workflow waits for approval 'Once you approve the plan, run /conductor-implement'. | source 2026-10-25 |
| By default, once a plan is approved, how is implementation run? | the human drives it, phase by phase or task by task Agent works through plan.md with phase checkpoints. | source 2026-10-25 |
| What does it offer teams beyond sharing files in git? (if both, pick the paid product) | nothing beyond git Shared project-level context in the repo. | source 2026-10-25 |
