Track Manager

Manage the complete track lifecycle including archiving, restoring, deleting, renaming, and cleaning up orphaned artifacts.

Use this skill when

• Archiving, restoring, renaming, or deleting Conductor tracks
• Listing track status or cleaning orphaned artifacts
• Managing the track lifecycle across active, completed, and archived states

Do not use this skill when

• Conductor is not initialized in the repository
• You lack permission to modify track metadata or files
• The task is unrelated to Conductor track management

Instructions

• Detailed path/transaction safeguards in the playbook apply to every mutation. Preserve prior status and unknown metadata fields; restoration must not falsely complete an abandoned track.

• Preview the exact affected paths and preserve unrelated staged work; do not use broad staging or assume a failed multi-file operation rolled back.

• Verify conductor/ structure and required files before proceeding.

• Determine the operation mode from arguments or interactive prompts.

• Confirm destructive actions (delete/cleanup) before applying.

• Update tracks.md and metadata consistently.

• If detailed steps are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Safety

• Backup track data before delete operations.
• Avoid removing archived tracks without explicit approval.

Resources

• resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed modes, prompts, and workflows.

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
