What it does

This skill activates 'Gran Maestro' mode — a conductor/orchestration layer that changes the agent's behavior and workspace to an orchestration-focused profile. When run it sets up required directories and hooks, bootstraps config files, installs scripts, and enforces mode-specific rules (blocking certain automation skills while Maestro is active). It also writes mode state (mode.json) with timestamps.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need to switch the agent into a centralized orchestration role for coordinating multi-step workflows, managing requests, or running team-style orchestration sessions. Triggered by conversational commands or slash-style invocations that indicate entering Maestro/Conductor mode.

What's included

Scripts: references to helper scripts and installers (mst.py, hook installers, status scripts) are documented; the skill outlines atomic config writes and hook registration.
References: detailed protocol for base_branch selection, protected branch editing, and migration of legacy hooks.
Instructions: explicit step-by-step execution protocol (create directories, copy hooks, merge settings.local.json, run resolver commands, and write mode.json with timestamp).
