The original idea
Conduit began as an IDE concept where Cursor, Claude, and Codex agents could collaborate in one platform.
Its central idea was the Seat: an agent or session could change, while the seat’s role and work history remained. Continuity belonged to the work rather than to a single conversation.
Breaking the idea into useful pieces
Building the whole platform at once made progress difficult. Much of the effort went into fixing bugs. Separating the product into smaller parts made the individual problems easier to work on.
Work Stack emerged as the work management layer. Stackbite is being developed as the execution layer. Each can improve through actual use while the connection between them develops.
Longer-term direction
The plan is to bring Work Stack and Stackbite together into a unified product. Conduit describes that longer-term direction; the integrated experience is still being developed.
