Claude Code - Conductor

Agent guide

Claude Code is the strong default when one agent needs to handle implementation, review iteration, and longer task loops without a lot of custom routing logic.

Good fit

General refactoring, review iterations, and longer implementation loops.

Set up Claude Code in Conductor

Install Claude Code

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Complete authentication

Follow the CLI login flow so the claude-code binary can run successfully from the same shell environment that will launch Conductor.

Launch Conductor

npx --yes --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org conductor-oss@latest

Add a workspace if this is the first run, then choose Claude Code as the default agent for the project.

Set it as the project default

projects:
  my-app:
    agent: claude-code
    agentConfig:
      model: claude-sonnet-4-6

Model selection in Conductor

Conductor does not keep a separate Claude model whitelist. The Claude Code CLI, your Anthropic account, and your workspace permissions decide which Claude models are available in that environment.

leave agentConfig.model unset when you want Conductor to follow the current Claude Code default
pin agentConfig.model only when a repository needs one exact Claude model for repeatability
use repo-level defaults first and keep task-level model changes rare

Why teams pick Claude Code

reliable default for mixed codebases
good review-followup behavior
easy fit for repos that do not need exotic routing
