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.

---

Transform a general-purpose workflow into a domain expert.

Step 1: Domain Discovery

• Terminology: What domain-specific language must the agent use?
• Regulations: What compliance requirements apply? (HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR)
• Standards: What industry standards govern output format or quality?
• Expert expectations: What would a domain expert check first?
• Common errors: What mistakes would a non-expert make?

Step 2: Specialize Prompts

## Generic: You are an assistant that analyzes documents.
## Specialized (legal): You are a senior legal analyst specializing in contract review.
   You understand common law jurisdictions, standard contract clauses, and the
   difference between representations and warranties. Always caveat that this
   is not legal advice.

Step 3: Specialized Evaluation

Domain	Evaluation Criteria
Legal	Clause completeness, regulatory compliance, jurisdiction accuracy
Medical	Clinical accuracy, guideline adherence, contraindication checks
Financial	Calculation accuracy, regulatory disclosure, risk assessment
Code	Test coverage, security vulnerabilities, performance
Customer Support	Tone, escalation accuracy, resolution completeness

Step 4: Domain Guardrails

• Legal: "Not legal advice" disclaimer, jurisdiction limitations
• Medical: "Not medical advice" disclaimer, emergency detection
• Financial: Regulatory disclosures, suitability warnings
• Code: Security scanning, dependency vulnerability checks

Recommended Next Step

After specialization, run /evaluate with domain-specific scenarios, then /guard to add domain-appropriate safety guardrails.

NEVER:

• Specialize without consulting domain experts or authoritative sources
• Skip domain-specific guardrails
• Use generic evaluation for specialized domains
• Cut corners on terminology
