If a user mentions a "plan" or asks about the plan, and they have used the conductor extension in the current session, they are likely referring to the conductor/tracks.md file or one of the track plans (conductor/tracks/<track_id>/plan.md).

Where files are headingNew AGENTS.md files have more rules about keeping secrets out of the code, and fewer about code style.
Of the AGENTS.md files we read, the 31,542 first seen in the last six months, against the older ones: the kind of rule that gained most share, and the kind that lost most. About files like this in general, not this one, and an estimate, since a kind is a pattern in the words.
In this repository7 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

This author's own choices. Worth a look.

Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Resolve Path: If a link is found, resolve its path relative to the directory containing the index.md file.

Fallback: If the index file is missing or the link is absent, use the Default Path keys below.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 40,246 AGENTS.md files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Conductor Context
If a user mentions a "plan" or asks about the plan, and they have used the conductor extension in the current session, they are likely referring to the conductor/tracks.md file or one of the track plans (conductor/tracks/<track_id>/plan.md).
Universal File Resolution Protocol
PROTOCOL: How to locate files. To find a file (e.g., "Product Definition") within a specific context (Project Root or a specific Track):
- Identify Index: Determine the relevant index file:
- Project Context:
conductor/index.md - Track Context:
a. Resolve and read the Tracks Registry (via Project Context).
b. Find the entry for the specific
<track_id>. c. Follow the link provided in the registry to locate the track's folder. The index file is<track_folder>/index.md. d. Fallback: If the track is not yet registered (e.g., during creation) or the link is broken: 1. Resolve the Tracks Directory (via Project Context). 2. The index file is<Tracks Directory>/<track_id>/index.md.
- Project Context:
- Check Index: Read the index file and look for a link with a matching or semantically similar label.
- Resolve Path: If a link is found, resolve its path relative to the directory containing the
index.mdfile.- Example: If
conductor/index.mdlinks to./workflow.md, the full path isconductor/workflow.md.
- Example: If
- Fallback: If the index file is missing or the link is absent, use the Default Path keys below.
- Verify: You MUST verify the resolved file actually exists on the disk.
Standard Default Paths (Project):
- Product Definition:
conductor/product.md - Tech Stack:
conductor/tech-stack.md - Workflow:
conductor/workflow.md - Product Guidelines:
conductor/product-guidelines.md - Tracks Registry:
conductor/tracks.md - Tracks Directory:
conductor/tracks/
Standard Default Paths (Track):
- Specification:
conductor/tracks/<track_id>/spec.md - Implementation Plan:
conductor/tracks/<track_id>/plan.md - Metadata:
conductor/tracks/<track_id>/metadata.json

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
