Summary

A first look at Conductor, a tool for using several coding-agent harnesses on the same project. It supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode. Instead of working in your local repo folder, it appears to create a workspace that is a copy of the project.

Key points

• Conductor lets you switch between harnesses on one project: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode.
• It works in a separate workspace copy of your project, not directly in your local repo folder.
• Handy for comparing or mixing coding agents on the same codebase.
