Agents & Adaptersintermediatecurrenttested against paperclip 0.9
Choosing the right adapter
Match adapters to workload instead of trying to standardize every agent on one provider too early.
Start from the job
Pick adapters based on the work:
- code generation needs reliability with repositories and tools
- research needs breadth and strong summarization
- review work needs consistency and critique quality
What to avoid
Do not force every role onto one model because it simplifies procurement. That usually creates hidden workflow cost later.
A practical default
Use one model family for most roles, then make exceptions only where the quality gap is obvious.
That keeps the system understandable without pretending all tasks are identical.
