Conductor

Run a bunch of Claude Codes in parallel

2025-08-27

Product Introduction

  1. Conductor is a macOS application that enables parallel execution of multiple Claude Code agents within isolated workspaces tied to your codebase. It manages git worktrees to create separate environments for each agent while providing real-time visibility into their activities through a unified interface.
  2. The core value lies in scaling AI-assisted coding by allowing teams to deploy multiple AI agents simultaneously, accelerating development cycles while maintaining codebase integrity through automated version control management.

Main Features

  1. Conductor automatically creates isolated git worktrees for each Claude Code agent, ensuring code changes from parallel AI agents remain segregated until manually reviewed and merged.
  2. The dashboard displays real-time agent status updates including active tasks, progress indicators, and flagged blockers through color-coded workspace visualizations and change diffs.
  3. Native integration with Claude Code handles authentication inheritance, automatically using existing API keys or Claude Pro/Max plan credentials without requiring separate configuration.

Problems Solved

  1. Eliminates manual management of parallel AI coding sessions by automating workspace isolation through git worktrees, preventing code conflicts between simultaneous AI agents.
  2. Targets engineering teams and solo developers using Claude Code who need to scale AI-assisted feature development, bug fixing, or experimental prototyping across multiple concurrent tasks.
  3. Enables use cases like parallel AI-driven refactoring of different codebase components, simultaneous feature development with automated merge conflict prevention, and comparative testing of multiple AI-generated solutions.

Unique Advantages

  1. Unlike basic CLI implementations of Claude Code, Conductor provides visual orchestration layer with git worktree management that surpasses manual terminal-based workflows.
  2. Implements atomic AI workspaces through git plumbing commands like git worktree add with automatic garbage collection, ensuring no residual files remain after session completion.
  3. Combines enterprise-grade version control safety with consumer-friendly UI/UX, offering unique value proposition for teams transitioning from experimental AI coding to production implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. Does Conductor use worktrees? Yes, each Conductor workspace creates a new git worktree using native git commands, maintaining full compatibility with existing version control workflows while isolating AI-generated code changes.
  2. Which coding agents does Conductor support? Currently optimized for Claude Code integration, with architecture designed for future expansion to other AI coding assistants through modular plugin system.
  3. How does Conductor pay for Claude Code? The application inherits your existing Claude authentication method, whether API key-based or through Claude Pro/Max subscription credentials stored in your system keychain.
