Optional orchestrator for the discovery-phase pack. Walks the BA through a recommended skill sequence based on engagement type and access level — but does not enforce. Acts as a guide for users new to the pack. Skills can be (and often are) run independently of this conductor. Activate when the user wants a guided sequence rather than picking skills à la carte.

From the source SKILL.md

The optional "guide me through this" skill. Most experienced users skip the conductor and invoke skills directly when needed. The conductor is for: first-time users, complex engagements with mixed access patterns, or BAs who want a checklist.
