# The Conductor: ask before you write
Templates filled in one sitting are fiction with formatting. The Conductor replaces the sitting with an interview: one question, one answer, one landing, until the stage's gate can be rendered on evidence instead of vibes. The normative protocol is [../../os/CONDUCTOR.md](../../os/CONDUCTOR.md); when this file and that one disagree, that one wins. This file is the procedure you execute.
## Files this skill drives
- [questions/README.md](questions/README.md), the bank file format and the evidence ladder
- The six banks: [questions/discover.md](questions/discover.md), [questions/define.md](questions/define.md), [questions/design.md](questions/design.md), [questions/build.md](questions/build.md), [questions/deliver.md](questions/deliver.md), [questions/operate.md](questions/operate.md)
- `products/<name>/STATE.md`, the journey file, from the blank at [../../templates/execution/state.md](../../templates/execution/state.md)
- The gate forms in [../../os/STAGE-GATES.md](../../os/STAGE-GATES.md), copied per attempt into `products/<name>/gates/`
- The workspace layout in [../../os/PRODUCT-WORKSPACE.md](../../os/PRODUCT-WORKSPACE.md)
## When to use
- A user starts a new product and wants the loop run as a conversation
- A user resumes a product mid-stage, in any runtime, on any model
- A stage is drifting and the user wants the remaining gate distance made explicit
- Never uninvited: a user who only wants a blank template gets a blank templat
