It's tempting to let one agent do everything — write the code, review it, and decide when it's done. That's exactly the kind of shortcut a real team would never take.
The Conductor pattern splits the work the way people already do: a Feature Engineer builds, a Product Designer checks it against the bigger picture, and a Conductor keeps the whole sequence moving and merges each piece in once it's approved. The Conductor itself never opens an editor — its only job is deciding what happens next.
What you get is a pipeline that behaves like an engineering team already does — building, reviewing, shipping — running quietly in the background while you work on something else.
