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.

---

Turn working solutions into reusable patterns. Every successful workflow contains patterns that are applicable beyond their original context.

Step 1: Identify What Worked

Review the workflow and identify components that:

• Solved a common problem in a particularly effective way
• Would be useful in other workflows or projects
• Required significant iteration to get right
• Represent a non-obvious solution
