Adapter

Converts one interface into another that the calling code expects — lets incompatible interfaces work together without modifying either side.

Why we need this / what value this brings

Lets code written against one interface work with a class that has an incompatible interface, without modifying either.

When to use this

Integrating a third-party library/API whose interface doesn't match what your code expects.

How to use or implement this

Write a thin wrapper class implementing your expected interface, delegating internally to the incompatible one — this is exactly what ProviderAdapter does for the 4 LLM providers.

Research questions

• This is exactly the shape of ProviderAdapter in AI/LLMIntegration: four different LLM provider APIs, one adapter interface the rest of the app calls against.
