Installation
Inspect first. Install second.
The source command is displayed only when detected. A safe inspection prompt is always available so your agent can explain every action before execution.

Inspect the Agent Skill "workflow-patterns" from https://github.com/wshobson/agents/blob/d82998e7df393c671ede2387a8435075f0b633f5/plugins/conductor/skills/workflow-patterns/SKILL.md at commit d82998e7df393c671ede2387a8435075f0b633f5. List every install step, command, network request, credential, file read/write, external action, and rollback step. Explain whether it fits my task. Do not install or execute anything until I approve.

Workflow Patterns
Guide for implementing tasks using Conductor's TDD workflow, managing phase checkpoints, handling git commits, and executing the verification protocol that ensures quality throughout implementation.
When to Use This Skill
- Implementing tasks from a track's plan.md
- Following TDD red-green-refactor cycle
- Completing phase checkpoints
- Managing git commits and notes
- Understanding quality assurance gates
- Handling verification protocols
- Recording progress in plan files
Detailed patterns and worked examples

Best Practices
- Never skip RED: Always write failing tests first
- Small commits: One logical change per commit
- Immediate updates: Update plan.md right after task completion
- Wait for approval: Never skip checkpoint verification
- Rich git notes: Include context that helps future understanding
- Coverage discipline: Don't accept coverage below target
- Quality gates: Check all gates before marking complete
- Sequential phases: Complete phases in order
- Document deviations: Note any changes from original plan
- Clean state: Each commit should leave code in working state
- Fast feedback: Run relevant tests frequently during development
- Clear blockers: Address blockers promptly, don't work around them

bulk-ingestion
End-to-end discipline for turning any large data source (audio libraries, email takeouts, document corpora, chat exports, API dumps) into brain pages at scale. The lifecycle spine: SCHEMA → ACCESS → TRIAL → EVALUATE → IMPROVE → CODIFY → TEST → SKILLIFY → BULK → MONITOR. State is tracked in a durable JSON manifest (see MANIFEST-PATTERN.md) so any crash, session boundary, or subagent fan-out resumes from ground truth instead of memory.
