conductor/
├── tracks.md           # Master track list
└── tracks/
    └── <track_id>/
        ├── spec.md         # Requirements
        ├── plan.md         # Phased tasks
        └── metadata.json   # Status, timestamps

Workflow Operations

Start a Task

# Before

Update tracks.md

When completing a phase, update conductor/tracks.md:

## Active Tracks

| -------- | ------- | ----------- | --------- |
| auth-001 | feature | in_progress | Phase 2/3 |

Phase Transition Rules

1. All tasks in phase must be [x] before moving to next phase
2. Update metadata.json with completion timestamp
3. Create commit for phase completion
4. Update tracks.md progress column

Response Format

After track operations:

## Track Update

**Track**: [track_id]
**Operation**: [started/completed/updated]
**Phase**: [phase number] - [phase name]
