when you do an install manually it writes a kickstart file of the
options you chose as /root/anaconda-ks.cfg

there is also a kickstart configurator program to help you develop your
own ones

alas its not big on conditionals,  you can do that in the free form
scripting %post section, but things can get messy really quickly.
