Interview-driven operation of the six-stage product loop. Use when a user says "start" on a new product, "resume" or "where are we" on an existing one, or asks to be walked through a stage rather than handed a template. Asks one question at a time from the stage's question bank, cross-examines weak answers with a capped challenge grammar, lands every accepted answer in STATE.md and the target template, renders the stage gate on evidence, and never advances past a gate silently.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# The Conductor: ask before you write

Templates filled in one sitting are fiction with formatting. The Conductor replaces the sitting with an interview: one question, one answer, one landing, until the stage's gate can be rendered on evidence instead of vibes. The normative protocol is [../../os/CONDUCTOR.md](../../os/CONDUCTOR.md); when this file and that one disagree, that one wins. This file is the procedure you execute.

## Files this skill drives

- [questions/README.md](questions/README.md), the bank file format and the evidence ladder
- The six banks: [questions/discover.md](questions/discover.md), [questions/define.md](questions/define.md), [questions/design.md](questions/design.md), [questions/build.md](questions/build.md), [questions/deliver.md](questions/deliver.md), [questions/operate.md](questions/operate.md)
- `products/<name>/STATE.md`, the journey file, from the blank at [../../templates/execution/state.md](../../templates/execution/state.md)
- The gate forms in [../../os/STAGE-GATES.md](../../os/STAGE-GATES.md), copied per attempt into `products/<name>/gates/`
- The workspace layout in [../../os/PRODUCT-WORKSPACE.md](../../os/PRODUCT-WORKSPACE.md)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rizwanzafaris/product-manager-os/conductor@sha256:7b6a7fa889f2d3ce

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.9fa707d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
