# conductor

Lets Claude define, run and manage Conductor workflows: HTTP tasks, branching, waits, human-in-the-loop steps.

## What it does

The plugin hands your agent the whole Conductor workflow lifecycle. It writes workflow definitions using any task type — HTTP, SWITCH, FORK, WAIT, HUMAN, AI/LLM, MCP — then runs them synchronously or asynchronously and searches executions by status, time or correlation ID. Pause, resume, terminate, retry, restart, skip-task and jump are all covered.

Five slash commands ship with it. `/conductor` lists subcommands and natural-language examples, `/conductor-setup` walks through CLI, server and auth setup, and `/conductor-optimize` scores a workflow against a checklist of 40 rules covering structure, reliability, performance, security and agent design. The other two generate stubs: `/conductor-scaffold-worker` for a worker in Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java or Go, `/conductor-scaffold-agent` for an agent on a native SDK or a framework. Everything else — run, status, schedule, retry, signal, visualize — goes through plain English.

The skill tells OSS from Orkes before doing anything that differs between them: a server demanding auth is Orkes, one that doesn't is OSS. Secrets, webhooks, LLM provider setup and prompt templates are Orkes-only. Installing through npm needs Node.js, and a Claude session has to be restarted after the plugin install or the commands won't load.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install conductor@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- define a workflow with branches and parallel tasks
- start a run and check its status
- put a workflow on a cron schedule
- generate a worker stub in a chosen language
- review an existing workflow against a checklist

## Example prompts
- Create a workflow that calls the GitHub API for open issues and sends a Slack notification
- Build a FORK_JOIN workflow that fetches inventory and pricing in parallel
- Set up Conductor — I want to start a local server

## What You Get

Once installed, your AI agent can:

- **Create** workflow definitions with any task type (HTTP, SWITCH, FORK, WAIT, AI/LLM, MCP, etc.)
- **Run** workflows synchronously or asynchronously
- **Monitor** executions and search by status, time, or correlation ID
- **Manage** workflows — pause, resume, terminate, retry, restart, rerun, skip-task, jump
- **Signal** WAIT and HUMAN tasks for human-in-the-loop patterns
- **Schedule** workflows on cron — schedules are part of OSS
- **Write workers** in Python, JavaScript / TypeScript, Java, or Go (built-in patterns), or C#, Ruby, and Rust from each official SDK's README
- **Build agents** — scaffold, test, deploy, and invoke Conductor Agents with the SDK (Python, TypeScript, Java, C#) or bring a LangChain / LangGraph / OpenAI Agents / Google ADK / Vercel AI / Claude Agent SDK agent; call them from workflows with the `AGENT` task, with human-in-the-loop, multi-agent, scheduling, and evals; call remote A2A agents
- **Visualize** workflows as Mermaid diagrams
- **Review & optimize** existing workflows and agents against a checklist of 40 structure / reliability / performance / security / wrong-tool / agent rules
- **Tell OSS from Orkes** — a server that requires auth is Orkes (Enterprise), one that doesn't is OSS; the skill checks before anything that differs between them
- **Manage** secrets and webhooks (Orkes)
- **Configure AI providers on Orkes** — create LLM / vector-DB integrations, register every model the provider key can use (discovered live from the provider), and grant access, so `LLM_*` tasks work on an Orkes cluster
- **Manage prompt templates on Orkes** — LLM prompts are saved as named templates, associated with the models that may use them, and referenced by name from tasks (inline prompts need `allowRawPrompts`)

On Claude Code, five slash commands give you direct entry points:

| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `/conductor` | Menu — lists subcommands and natural-language examples |
| `/conductor-setup` | First-time setup (CLI, server, auth) |
| `/conductor-optimize` | Review a workflow against the optimization checklist |
| `/conductor-scaffold-worker` | Generate a worker stub in your language |
| `/conductor-scaffold-agent` | Scaffold, test, deploy, and wire up a Conductor Agent (native SDK or a framework agent) |

Everything else (run, status, schedule, retry, signal, visualize, create, run/observe/approve/cancel agents) works through plain English — no command needed.

## Quick Install

### Claude Code Plugin (recommended for Claude users)

Install as a Claude Code plugin from the marketplace:

```shell
/plugin marketplace add conductor-oss/conductor-skills
/plugin install conductor@conductor-skills
```

Or test against a local checkout during development:

```shell
/plugin marketplace add /path/to/conductor-skills
/plugin install conductor@conductor-skills
```

### Install via npm

If you have Node.js, you can install through npm — useful in CI and dev containers:

```bash
# One-off, no global install
npx @conductor-oss/conductor-skills --agent claude
````
