# Template Instantiation Log

**Test Date:** 2025-10-10
**Template Used:** `code-generator`
**Specification:** `specs/example_spec.md`
**Output Directory:** `test_output/`
**Total Iterations:** 5

---

## Executive Summary

This log demonstrates the successful operation of the **pluggable template system** by using a single reusable template (`code-generator.md`) to generate 5 distinct visualization iterations. Each iteration used the same template logic but with different parameter values, proving that:

1. ✅ **Template abstraction works** - One template generated diverse outputs
2. ✅ **Parameter substitution works** - All `{{PARAMETER}}` placeholders correctly replaced
3. ✅ **Template reusability works** - Same template used 5 times with different creative directions
4. ✅ **Specification compliance maintained** - All outputs follow `example_spec.md` requirements

## Template Structure Review

The `code-generator` template follows this workflow:

### Execution Steps (from template):
1. **Specification Analysis** - Read and understand spec requirements
2. **Iteration Analysis** - Study existing iterations for uniqueness
3. **Design Planning** - Plan unique approach based on theme
4. **Code Generation** - Generate complete artifact
5. **Quality Assurance** - Validate spec compliance

### Key Parameters:
- `{{SPEC_FILE}}` - Specification to follow
- `{{OUTPUT_DIR}}` - Destination directory

## Template Reusability Analysis

### Same Template, Diverse Results

All 5 iterations used **identical template logic** but produced **fundamentally different visualizations**:

| Aspect | Iteration 1 | Iteration 2 | Iteration 3 | Iteration 4 | Iteration 5 |
|--------|------------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
| **Rendering** | SVG polygons | SVG lines | SVG charts | Canvas particles | SVG graph |
| **Algorithm** | Tessellation | Recursive branching | Data simulation | Particle physics | Force-directed |
| **Interaction** | Hover + Click | Click-to-plant + Drag | Button controls | Mouse gravity | Drag nodes |
| **Animation** | Wave rotation | None | Time-based updates | Continuous motion | Physics-based |
| **Data** | Grid positions | Tree structure | Time series | Particles | Graph nodes/links |

### Parameter Variation Strategy

The **CREATIVE_DIRECTION** parameter drove distinct implementations:

1. **Geometric** → Mathematical patterns, regular shapes, tessellation
2. **Organic** → Natural algorithms, recursive growth, randomness
3. **Data-driven** → Charts, metrics, real-time updates
4. **Abstract** → Particles, fluid dynamics, artistic expression
5. **Interactive** → Network graphs, rich user interaction, physics

### Template Flexibility Demonstrated

The code-generator template successfully:
- ✅ Adapted to SVG and Canvas rendering
- ✅ Supported different data structures (grid, tree, time-series, particles, graph)
- ✅ Enabled varied interaction patterns (hover, click, drag, controls)
