Creates and maintains project context artifacts (product.md, tech-stack.md, workflow.md, tracks.md) in a `conductor/` directory. Scaffolds new projects from scratch, extracts context from existing codebases, validates artifact consistency before implementation, and synchronizes documents as the project evolves. Use when setting up a project, creating or updating product docs, managing a tech stack file, defining development workflows, tracking work units, onboarding to an existing codebase, or running project scaffolding.
