chain
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. Consult the tool-orchestration reference in the agent-workflow skill for composition patterns and error handling.
Design tool chains that do complex work reliably. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
Chain Patterns
Sequential: A → B → C (each step depends on the previous) Parallel: [A, B, C] → Merge (independent steps run simultaneously) Conditional: A → (if X then B, else C) → D (branching based on results) Iterative: A → Check → (if not done) → A again (loop until convergence)

agent-workflow
Use when any Maestro command is invoked — provides foundational workflow design principles across prompt engineering, context management, tool orchestration, agent architecture, feedback loops, knowledge systems, and guardrails.
147evaluate
Use when the user wants a quality review, interaction audit, or to test the workflow against realistic scenarios.
145diagnose
Use when the user wants to find problems, audit workflow quality, or get a comprehensive health check on their AI workflow.
145calibrate
Use when workflow components are inconsistent, naming conventions vary, or a new team member's work needs alignment to project standards.
141teach-maestro
Use when starting a new project with Maestro or when no .maestro.md context file exists yet. Run once per project.
139iterate
Use when the workflow needs to self-correct, improve over time, or establish feedback loops and evaluation cycles.
