Inspect the Agent Skill "track-management" from https://github.com/wshobson/agents/blob/c4b82b0ad771190355eb8e204b1329732a18449a/plugins/conductor/skills/track-management/SKILL.md at commit c4b82b0ad771190355eb8e204b1329732a18449a. List every install step, command, network request, credential, file read/write, external action, and rollback step. Explain whether it fits my task. Do not install or execute anything until I approve.

Guide for creating, managing, and completing Conductor tracks - the logical work units that organize features, bugs, and refactors through specification, planning, and implementation phases.
When to Use This Skill
- Creating new feature, bug, or refactor tracks
- Writing or reviewing spec.md files
- Creating or updating plan.md files
- Managing track lifecycle from creation to completion
- Understanding track status markers and conventions
- Working with the tracks.md registry
- Interpreting or updating track metadata
Detailed patterns and worked examples

Best Practices
- One track, one concern: Keep tracks focused on a single logical change
- Small phases: Break work into phases of 3-5 tasks maximum
- Verification after phases: Always include verification tasks
- Update markers immediately: Mark task status as you work
- Record SHAs: Always note commit SHAs for completed tasks
- Review specs before planning: Ensure spec is complete before creating plan
- Link dependencies: Explicitly note track dependencies
- Archive, don't delete: Preserve completed tracks for reference
- Size appropriately: Keep tracks between 1-5 days of work
- Clear acceptance criteria: Every requirement must be testable

dask
Distributed computing for larger-than-RAM pandas/NumPy workflows. Use when you need to scale existing pandas/NumPy code beyond memory or across clusters. Best for parallel file processing, distributed ML, integration with existing pandas code. For out-of-core analytics on single machine use vaex; for in-memory speed use polars.

medchem
Medicinal chemistry filters for compound triage. Apply drug-likeness rules (Lipinski, Veber, CNS), structural alert catalogs (PAINS, NIBR, ChEMBL), complexity metrics, and the medchem query language for library filtering.

neurokit2
Use NeuroKit2 to build or audit reproducible research workflows for physiological time-series preprocessing, event/interval analysis, multimodal alignment, variability, and complexity. Trigger when code imports neurokit2 or needs its current APIs, schemas, and method-aware validation—not for diagnosis or device validation.
