Adapter Patterns for Operations Platforms

Why This Search Exists

Without explicit adapter patterns, teams blur the line between hosted-safe commands and local-only workflows that depend on browser session state.

That makes the platform harder to reason about and harder to document.

Recommended Approach

Adapter patterns give operations platforms stable task names, arguments, and execution rules that can be shared across interfaces.

iatlas-browser already supports this through its `site` surface and hosted subset.

Key Takeaways

• Adapters scale better than one-off scripts.
• Execution mode should be explicit in the platform design.
• Hosted-safe tasks belong on the hosted layer.
• Session-aware tasks should remain local.

Fast Start

1. Review the repeated browser tasks your platform supports.
2. Normalize names and arguments for those tasks.
3. Separate hosted-safe and local-only execution clearly.
4. Publish the resulting adapter contracts.
