Operator commands
What you run against a host yourself, beside the roles it runs on its own.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
conductor doctor | Reports every resolved fact about this host — and prints no secret. |
conductor dashboard | Opens the local dashboard (loopback only). |
conductor tunnel <user@host> | Opens a remote host's dashboard and TeamClaude pages in this browser over ssh. |
conductor pause / resume | Stops starting new sessions; running ones finish. |
conductor throttle clear | Lifts an open host-wide API throttle hold, and records who lifted it. |
conductor balance | Shapes one project at runtime: holds its new work, resizes a role, or restores the configured caps. |
conductor refresh | Re-reads projects and roles from Ironway now. |
conductor gc | Removes finished worktrees and old session records. |
conductor faults | Host faults this machine has filed, and their state. |
conductor faultline login / status / rotate | Configures the Faultline collector faults reads from. |
Pick the roles a project may run.
Install the conductor, then choose per project.
