Execute structural metamorphosis using strangler fig migration, chrysalis phases, and interface preservation. Covers transformation planning, parallel running, progressive cutover, rollback design, and post-metamorphosis stabilization for system architecture evolution. Use when assess-form has classified the system as READY for transformation, when migrating from monolith to microservices, when replacing a core subsystem while dependents continue operating, or when any architectural change…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Adapt Architecture Execute structural metamorphosis — transforming a system's architecture from its current form to a target form while maintaining operational continuity. Uses strangler fig migration, chrysalis phases, and interface preservation to ensure the system never stops functioning during transformation. ## When to Use - Form assessment (see `assess-form`) classified the system as READY - A system must evolve its architecture to meet new requirements without downtime - Migrating from monolith to microservices (or the reverse) - Replacing a core subsystem while dependent systems continue operating - Evolving a data model while maintaining backward compatibility - Any architectural change that must be gradual rather than big-bang ## Inputs - **Required**: Current form assessment (from `assess-form` or equivalent analysis) - **Required**: Target architecture (what the system should become) - **Required**: Operational continuity requirements (what must not break during transformation) - **Optional**: Available transformation budget (time, people, compute) - **Optional**: Rollback requirements (how far back must we be able to retreat?) …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/adapt-architecture@sha256:4f38a5b6cf0e646fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
