Conductor Framework

The scaffolding I use to build apps with AI without losing the thread halfway through.

When AI coding first started, everything was copying and pasting.

You'd paste your code into a chat window. Paste the response back into your editor. Paste the error message back. Repeat. It worked, but it was ugly. The moment your project got complex, you lost track of what was built, what was broken, what you'd even tested.

So I built a system. Files and instructions that lived in my IDE and helped me manage every app I was building. Docs, process, roles for things like product managers and CTOs. Each role was a set of instructions the AI could follow. I called it the Conductor Framework.

That was about ten iterations ago.

Every time AI gets smarter, the framework gets simpler. I had skills and personas before anyone was using those words. Before Claude and Codex and Gemini were around. Back when context windows were tiny and you had to be extremely deliberate about what you fed the model.

Now context windows are massive. The models are genuinely intelligent. Most of that early structure? Don't need it anymore. The smarter AI gets, the less you need to tell it how to think.

So the framework keeps shrinking. Always updating. Super simple and lightweight now. But the core job hasn't changed: automate the parts of development that suck.

Docs. Testing. Keeping track of what's going on. The stuff that matters but nobody wants to do, and the stuff that falls apart when you're building fast. Conductor handles it so I don't have to think about it.
