New Onboarding

We've revamped the onboarding flow in Conductor to make it easier and more beautiful to get started:

We've made it easier to setup your repo to work well with Conductor. You can now create your setup scripts with Claude:

• The Open In menu no longer defaults to Finder
• A new workspace will be automatically created when a repository is added

Fixes

• Retrying an error'ed message will now retry with the failed message's attachments
• The entire top bar is now draggable

conductor.json

To make it easier to share configurations, Conductor now stores your setup and run scripts in a conductor.json file.

If you have any issues migrating, reach out to us at humans@conductor.build! We're happy to help.

Archiving is also now instant:

• Fixed a bug where draft comments could get reset due to re-renders

Code Review

You can now comment on a diff and we'll send your feedback straight to Claude!

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where setup scripts failing would leave workspaces stuck in a "setting up" state
• Fixed a bug where rows could sometimes not be selected in the Dispatcher

New Diff Review Panel, Faster Claude

We've upgrade the diff review panel. It's now much more performant and easy to read.

Claude's response times are now just as fast as in the CLI! Conductor now installs Claude Code via the native binary installation, so Claude responds faster and you no longer need npm.
