MANDATORY PREPARATION
Invoke /agent-workflow — it contains workflow principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no workflow context exists yet, you MUST run /teach-maestro first. Additionally gather: what the workflow is being adapted to.
Adapt a working workflow for a different context.
Adaptation Assessment
| Dimension | Current | Target | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model provider | ? | ? | Prompt format, capabilities, pricing |
| Model tier | ? | ? | Context window, reasoning ability |
| Deployment env | ? | ? | Latency, availability, compliance |
| Team structure | ? | ? | Monitoring, escalation, ownership |
| Data sensitivity | ? | ? | Guardrails, logging, access controls |
Provider Adaptation
- Prompt format: Adjust for provider-specific features
- Context limits: Resize context budget for different window sizes
- Capability gaps: Identify features available in one provider but not another
- Pricing model: Recalculate cost estimates
- API differences: Update tool calling interfaces, error handling, retry logic
Environment Adaptation
- Latency requirements: Adjust timeout values, caching strategy
- Compliance: Add or adjust guardrails, logging, and data handling
- Scale: Adjust concurrency limits, batch sizes
- Monitoring: Adapt alerting thresholds
Adaptation Checklist
- All provider-specific APIs updated
- Context budget recalculated for target model
- Cost estimates updated with target pricing
- Guardrails adjusted for target compliance requirements
- Tests updated and passing in target environment
- Documentation updated for target team
Recommended Next Step
After adaptation, run /evaluate to verify the workflow performs correctly in the target environment, then /diagnose for a full health check.
NEVER:
- Assume prompts work identically across providers
- Copy production config to development without adjusting guardrails
- Adapt without updating the evaluation suite
- Skip cost re-estimation
