The .context directory

By Omid Mogasemi, Jackson de Campos

In Conductor v0.28.1, we're introducing the .context directory to make sharing context across agents easier.

We built the .context directory to enable better cross-agent collaboration. For example, say you use Claude Code to make a plan and you want Codex to implement it. We now automatically save that plan to the .context directory, so you can import it into a new chat with @:

You can create or edit any files you want in .context. Conductor saves these items there automatically:

• Attachments (images, documents, Linear issues, chat summaries, etc.)
• Plans generated by Claude Code
• Notes

.context is gitignored by default, so it won't clutter your diffs or PRs.

Why files?

We considered a bunch of ways of doing this, like storing context in Conductor’s local database, injecting it into a prompt, or giving the agents special context tools.

In the end, we chose to save context directly to the filesystem. Coding agents are already great at manipulating files (and so are humans!). It’s a simple, flexible solution.
