# CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

## Project Overview

This is an experimental project demonstrating the Infinite Agentic Loop pattern using Claude Code's custom slash commands. The project orchestrates multiple AI agents in parallel to generate evolving iterations of themed hybrid UI components based on specifications.

## Key Commands

### Running the Infinite Agentic Loop

```bash
claude

Then use the /project:infinite slash command with these variants:

# Single generation
/project:infinite specs/invent_new_ui_v3.md src 1

# Small batch (5 iterations)
/project:infinite specs/invent_new_ui_v3.md src_new 5

# Large batch (20 iterations)
/project:infinite specs/invent_new_ui_v3.md src_new 20

# Infinite mode (continuous generation)
/project:infinite specs/invent_new_ui_v3.md infinite_src_new/ infinite

Architecture & Structure

Command System

The project uses Claude Code's custom commands feature:

.claude/commands/infinite.md - Main infinite loop orchestrator command
.claude/commands/prime.md - Additional command (if present)
.claude/settings.json - Permissions configuration allowing Write, MultiEdit, Edit, and Bash

Specification-Driven Generation

Specifications in specs/ directory define what type of content to generate
Current main spec: specs/invent_new_ui_v3.md - Themed Hybrid UI Component Specification
Specs define naming patterns, content structure, design dimensions, and quality standards

Multi-Agent Orchestration Pattern

The infinite command implements sophisticated parallel agent coordination:

Specification Analysis - Deeply understands the spec requirements
Directory Reconnaissance - Analyzes existing iterations to maintain uniqueness
Parallel Sub-Agent Deployment - Launches multiple agents with distinct creative directions
Wave-Based Generation - For infinite mode, manages successive agent waves
Context Management - Optimizes context usage across all agents

Generated Content Organization

src/ - Primary output directory for generated UI components
src_infinite/ - Alternative output for infinite generation runs
legacy/ - Previous iteration attempts and experiments

Key Implementation Details

Sub-agents receive complete context including spec, existing iterations, and unique creative assignments
Parallel execution managed through Task tool with batch sizes optimized by count
Progressive sophistication strategy for infinite mode waves
Each iteration must be genuinely unique while maintaining spec compliance

<img src="images/infinite-claude-img.png" alt="Infinite Agentic Loop" style="max-width: 800px; width: 100%;">

## Overview

This project uses a custom Claude Code slash command (`/project:infinite`) to orchestrate multiple AI agents in parallel, generating evolving iterations of content based on specifications.

## Usage

Read `.claude/settings.json` to see the permissions and commands allowed.

Start Claude Code: `claude`

Type slash command `/project:infinite` to start the infinite agentic loop.

The infinite command takes three arguments:

/project:infinite <spec_file> <output_dir>


### 4 Command Variants

#### 1. Single Generation
```bash
/project:infinite specs/invent_new_ui_v3.md src 1

Generate one new iteration using the UI specification.

2. Small Batch (5 iterations)

/project:infinite specs/invent_new_ui_v3.md src_new 5

Deploy 5 parallel agents to generate 5 unique iterations simultaneously.

3. Large Batch (20 iterations)

/project:infinite specs/invent_new_ui_v3.md src_new 20

Generate 20 iterations in coordinated batches of 5 agents for optimal resource management.

4. Infinite Mode

/project:infinite specs/invent_new_ui_v3.md infinite_src_new/ infinite

Continuous generation in waves until context limits are reached, with progressive sophistication.

How It Works

Specification Analysis: Reads and understands the spec file requirements
Directory Reconnaissance: Analyzes existing iterations to determine starting point
Parallel Coordination: Deploys Sub Agents with unique creative directions
Quality Assurance: Ensures each iteration is unique and spec-compliant
Wave Management: For infinite mode, manages successive waves of agents

Directions you can take to enhance this pattern

Apply this to a use case of your choice.
Build an MCP Server that enables reuse of the infinite agentic loop.
Get the .claude/commands/infinite.md into your ~/.claude/commands/ directory for global use.
Update .claude/commands/infinite.md to generate sets of files instead of a single file.

## [](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/tutorials\#resume-previous-conversations)  Resume previous conversations

### [](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/tutorials\#continue-your-work-seamlessly)  Continue your work seamlessly

**When to use:** You've been working on a task with Claude Code and need to continue where you left off in a later session.

Claude Code provides two options for resuming previous conversations:

- `--continue` to automatically continue the most recent conversation
- `--resume` to display a conversation picker

1

Continue the most recent conversation

Copy

```bash
claude --continue

This immediately resumes your most recent conversation without any prompts.

Continue in non-interactive mode

Copy

claude --continue --print "Continue with my task"

Use --print with --continue to resume the most recent conversation in non-interactive mode, perfect for scripts or automation.

Show conversation picker

Copy

claude --resume

This displays an interactive conversation selector showing:

Conversation start time
Initial prompt or conversation summary
Message count

Use arrow keys to navigate and press Enter to select a conversation.

How it works:

Conversation Storage: All conversations are automatically saved locally with their full message history
Message Deserialization: When resuming, the entire message history is restored to maintain context
Tool State: Tool usage and results from the previous conversation are preserved
Context Restoration: The conversation resumes with all previous context intact

Tips:

Conversation history is stored locally on your machine
Use --continue for quick access to your most recent conversation
Use --resume when you need to select a specific past conversation
When resuming, you'll see the entire conversation history before continuing
The resumed conversation starts with the same model and configuration as the original

Examples:

Copy

# Continue most recent conversation
claude --continue

# Continue most recent conversation with a specific prompt
claude --continue --print "Show me our progress"

# Show conversation picker
claude --resume

# Continue most recent conversation in non-interactive mode
claude --continue --print "Run the tests again"

Understand new codebases

When to use: You need to update old code to use modern patterns and practices.

Identify legacy code for refactoring

Copy

> find deprecated API usage in our codebase

Get refactoring recommendations

Copy

> suggest how to refactor utils.js to use modern JavaScript features

Apply the changes safely

Copy

> refactor utils.js to use ES2024 features while maintaining the same behavior

Verify the refactoring

Copy

> run tests for the refactored code

Tips:

Ask Claude to explain the benefits of the modern approach
Request that changes maintain backward compatibility when needed
Do refactoring in small, testable increments

Work with tests

Add test coverage

When to use: You need to add tests for uncovered code.

Identify untested code

Copy

> find functions in NotificationsService.swift that are not covered by tests

Generate test scaffolding

Copy

> add tests for the notification service

Identify undocumented code

Copy

> find functions without proper JSDoc comments in the auth module

Generate documentation

Copy

> add JSDoc comments to the undocumented functions in auth.js

Review and enhance

Copy

> improve the generated documentation with more context and examples

Verify documentation

Copy

> check if the documentation follows our project standards

Tips:

Specify the documentation style you want (JSDoc, docstrings, etc.)
Ask for examples in the documentation
Request documentation for public APIs, interfaces, and complex logic

Work with images

Analyze images and screenshots

When to use: You need to work with images in your codebase or get Claude's help analyzing image content.

Add an image to the conversation

You can use any of these methods:

Drag and drop an image into the Claude Code window
Copy an image and paste it into the CLI with cmd+v (on Mac)
Provide an image path claude "Analyze this image: /path/to/your/image.png"

Ask Claude to analyze the image

Copy

> What does this image show?
> Describe the UI elements in this screenshot
> Are there any problematic elements in this diagram?

Use images for context

Copy

> Here's a screenshot of the error. What's causing it?
> This is our current database schema. How should we modify it for the new feature?

Get code suggestions from visual content

Copy

> Generate CSS to match this design mockup
> What HTML structure would recreate this component?

Tips:

Use images when text descriptions would be unclear or cumbersome
Include screenshots of errors, UI designs, or diagrams for better context
You can work with multiple images in a conversation
Image analysis works with diagrams, screenshots, mockups, and more

Use extended thinking

Leverage Claude's extended thinking for complex tasks

When to use: When working on complex architectural decisions, challenging bugs, or planning multi-step implementations that require deep reasoning.

Provide context and ask Claude to think

Copy

> I need to implement a new authentication system using OAuth2 for our API. Think deeply about the best approach for implementing this in our codebase.

Claude will gather relevant information from your codebase and use extended thinking, which will be visible in the interface.

Refine the thinking with follow-up prompts

Copy

> think about potential security vulnerabilities in this approach
> think harder about edge cases we should handle

Tips to get the most value out of extended thinking:

Extended thinking is most valuable for complex tasks such as:

Planning complex architectural changes
Debugging intricate issues
Creating implementation plans for new features
Understanding complex codebases
Evaluating tradeoffs between different approaches

The way you prompt for thinking results in varying levels of thinking depth:

"think" triggers basic extended thinking
intensifying phrases such as "think more", "think a lot", "think harder", or "think longer" triggers deeper thinking

For more extended thinking prompting tips, see Extended thinking tips.

Claude will display its thinking process as italic gray text above the response.

Set up project memory

Create an effective CLAUDE.md file

When to use: You want to set up a CLAUDE.md file to store important project information, conventions, and frequently used commands.

Bootstrap a CLAUDE.md for your codebase

Copy

> /init

Tips:

Include frequently used commands (build, test, lint) to avoid repeated searches
Document code style preferences and naming conventions
Add important architectural patterns specific to your project
CLAUDE.md memories can be used for both instructions shared with your team and for your individual preferences.

Set up Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables LLMs to access external tools and data sources. For more details, see the MCP documentation.

Use third party MCP servers at your own risk. Make sure you trust the MCP servers, and be especially careful when using MCP servers that talk to the internet, as these can expose you to prompt injection risk.

Configure MCP servers

When to use: You want to enhance Claude's capabilities by connecting it to specialized tools and external servers using the Model Context Protocol.

Add an MCP Stdio Server

Copy

# Basic syntax
claude mcp add <name> <command> [args...]

# Example: Adding a local server
claude mcp add my-server -e API_KEY=123 -- /path/to/server arg1 arg2

Add an MCP SSE Server

Copy

# Basic syntax
claude mcp add --transport sse <name> <url>

# Example: Adding an SSE server
claude mcp add --transport sse sse-server https://example.com/sse-endpoint

Manage your MCP servers

Copy

# List all configured servers
claude mcp list

# Get details for a specific server
claude mcp get my-server

# Remove a server
claude mcp remove my-server

Tips:

Use the -s or --scope flag to specify where the configuration is stored:
- local (default): Available only to you in the current project (was called project in older versions)
- project: Shared with everyone in the project via .mcp.json file
- user: Available to you across all projects (was called global in older versions)
Set environment variables with -e or --env flags (e.g., -e KEY=value)
Configure MCP server startup timeout using the MCP_TIMEOUT environment variable (e.g., MCP_TIMEOUT=10000 claude sets a 10-second timeout)
Check MCP server status any time using the /mcp command within Claude Code
MCP follows a client-server architecture where Claude Code (the client) can connect to multiple specialized servers

Understanding MCP server scopes

When to use: You want to understand how different MCP scopes work and how to share servers with your team.

Local-scoped MCP servers

The default scope ( local) stores MCP server configurations in your project-specific user settings. These servers are only available to you while working in the current project.

Copy

# Add a local-scoped server (default)
claude mcp add my-private-server /path/to/server

# Explicitly specify local scope
claude mcp add my-private-server -s local /path/to/server

Project-scoped MCP servers (.mcp.json)

Project-scoped servers are stored in a .mcp.json file at the root of your project. This file should be checked into version control to share servers with your team.

Copy

# Add a project-scoped server
claude mcp add shared-server -s project /path/to/server

This creates or updates a .mcp.json file with the following structure:

Copy

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shared-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/server",
      "args": [],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

User-scoped MCP servers

User-scoped servers are available to you across all projects on your machine, and are private to you.

Copy

# Add a user server
claude mcp add my-user-server -s user /path/to/server

Tips:

Local-scoped servers take precedence over project-scoped and user-scoped servers with the same name
Project-scoped servers (in .mcp.json) take precedence over user-scoped servers with the same name
Before using project-scoped servers from .mcp.json, Claude Code will prompt you to approve them for security
The .mcp.json file is intended to be checked into version control to share MCP servers with your team
Project-scoped servers make it easy to ensure everyone on your team has access to the same MCP tools
If you need to reset your choices for which project-scoped servers are enabled or disabled, use the claude mcp reset-project-choices command

Connect to a Postgres MCP server

When to use: You want to give Claude read-only access to a PostgreSQL database for querying and schema inspection.

Add the Postgres MCP server

Copy

claude mcp add postgres-server /path/to/postgres-mcp-server --connection-string "postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/mydb"

Query your database with Claude

Copy

# In your Claude session, you can ask about your database

> describe the schema of our users table
> what are the most recent orders in the system?
> show me the relationship between customers and invoices

Tips:

The Postgres MCP server provides read-only access for safety
Claude can help you explore database structure and run analytical queries
You can use this to quickly understand database schemas in unfamiliar projects
Make sure your connection string uses appropriate credentials with minimum required permissions

Add MCP servers from JSON configuration

When to use: You have a JSON configuration for a single MCP server that you want to add to Claude Code.

Add an MCP server from JSON

Copy

# Basic syntax
claude mcp add-json <name> '<json>'

# Example: Adding a stdio server with JSON configuration
claude mcp add-json weather-api '{"type":"stdio","command":"/path/to/weather-cli","args":["--api-key","abc123"],"env":{"CACHE_DIR":"/tmp"}}'

Verify the server was added

Copy

claude mcp get weather-api

Tips:

Make sure the JSON is properly escaped in your shell
The JSON must conform to the MCP server configuration schema
You can use -s global to add the server to your global configuration instead of the project-specific one

Import MCP servers from Claude Desktop

When to use: You have already configured MCP servers in Claude Desktop and want to use the same servers in Claude Code without manually reconfiguring them.

Import servers from Claude Desktop

Copy

# Basic syntax
claude mcp add-from-claude-desktop

Select which servers to import

After running the command, you'll see an interactive dialog that allows you to select which servers you want to import.

Verify the servers were imported

Copy

claude mcp list

Tips:

This feature only works on macOS and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
It reads the Claude Desktop configuration file from its standard location on those platforms
Use the -s global flag to add servers to your global configuration
Imported servers will have the same names as in Claude Desktop
If servers with the same names already exist, they will get a numerical suffix (e.g., server_1)

Use Claude Code as an MCP server

When to use: You want to use Claude Code itself as an MCP server that other applications can connect to, providing them with Claude's tools and capabilities.

Start Claude as an MCP server

Copy

# Basic syntax
claude mcp serve

Connect from another application

You can connect to Claude Code MCP server from any MCP client, such as Claude Desktop. If you're using Claude Desktop, you can add the Claude Code MCP server using this configuration:

Copy

{
  "command": "claude",
  "args": ["mcp", "serve"],
  "env": {}
}

Tips:

The server provides access to Claude's tools like View, Edit, LS, etc.
In Claude Desktop, try asking Claude to read files in a directory, make edits, and more.
Note that this MCP server is simply exposing Claude Code's tools to your MCP client, so your own client is responsible for implementing user confirmation for individual tool calls.

Use Claude as a unix-style utility

Add Claude to your verification process

When to use: You want to use Claude Code as a linter or code reviewer.

Steps:

Add Claude to your build script

Copy

// package.json
{
    ...
    "scripts": {
        ...
        "lint:claude": "claude -p 'you are a linter. please look at the changes vs. main and report any issues related to typos. report the filename and line number on one line, and a description of the issue on the second line. do not return any other text.'"
    }
}

Pipe in, pipe out

When to use: You want to pipe data into Claude, and get back data in a structured format.

Pipe data through Claude

Copy

cat build-error.txt | claude -p 'concisely explain the root cause of this build error' > output.txt

Control output format

When to use: You need Claude's output in a specific format, especially when integrating Claude Code into scripts or other tools.

Use text format (default)

Copy

cat data.txt | claude -p 'summarize this data' --output-format text > summary.txt

This outputs just Claude's plain text response (default behavior).

Use JSON format

Copy

cat code.py | claude -p 'analyze this code for bugs' --output-format json > analysis.json

This outputs a JSON array of messages with metadata including cost and duration.

Use streaming JSON format

Copy

cat log.txt | claude -p 'parse this log file for errors' --output-format stream-json

This outputs a series of JSON objects in real-time as Claude processes the request. Each message is a valid JSON object, but the entire output is not valid JSON if concatenated.

Tips:

Use --output-format text for simple integrations where you just need Claude's response
Use --output-format json when you need the full conversation log
Use --output-format stream-json for real-time output of each conversation turn

Create custom slash commands

Claude Code supports custom slash commands that you can create to quickly execute specific prompts or tasks.

Create project-specific commands

When to use: You want to create reusable slash commands for your project that all team members can use.

Create a commands directory in your project

Copy

mkdir -p .claude/commands

Create a Markdown file for each command

Copy

echo "Analyze the performance of this code and suggest three specific optimizations:" > .claude/commands/optimize.md

Use your custom command in Claude Code

Copy

claude > /project:optimize

Tips:

Command names are derived from the filename (e.g., optimize.md becomes /project:optimize)
You can organize commands in subdirectories (e.g., .claude/commands/frontend/component.md becomes /project:frontend:component)
Project commands are available to everyone who clones the repository
The Markdown file content becomes the prompt sent to Claude when the command is invoked

Add command arguments with $ARGUMENTS

When to use: You want to create flexible slash commands that can accept additional input from users.

Create a command file with the $ARGUMENTS placeholder

Copy

echo "Find and fix issue #$ARGUMENTS. Follow these steps: 1.
Understand the issue described in the ticket 2. Locate the relevant code in
our codebase 3. Implement a solution that addresses the root cause 4. Add
appropriate tests 5. Prepare a concise PR description" >
.claude/commands/fix-issue.md

Use the command with an issue number

Copy

claude > /project:fix-issue 123

This will replace $ARGUMENTS with "123" in the prompt.

Tips:

The $ARGUMENTS placeholder is replaced with any text that follows the command
You can position $ARGUMENTS anywhere in your command template
Other useful applications: generating test cases for specific functions, creating documentation for components, reviewing code in particular files, or translating content to specified languages

Create personal slash commands

When to use: You want to create personal slash commands that work across all your projects.

Create a commands directory in your home folder

Copy

mkdir -p ~/.claude/commands

Create a Markdown file for each command

Copy

echo "Review this code for security vulnerabilities, focusing on:" >
~/.claude/commands/security-review.md

Use your personal custom command

Copy

claude > /user:security-review

Tips:

Personal commands are prefixed with /user: instead of /project:
Personal commands are only available to you and not shared with your team
Personal commands work across all your projects
You can use these for consistent workflows across different codebases

Run parallel Claude Code sessions with Git worktrees

Use worktrees for isolated coding environments

When to use: You need to work on multiple tasks simultaneously with complete code isolation between Claude Code instances.

Understand Git worktrees

Git worktrees allow you to check out multiple branches from the same repository into separate directories. Each worktree has its own working directory with isolated files, while sharing the same Git history. Learn more in the official Git worktree\ documentation.

Create a new worktree

Copy

# Create a new worktree with a new branch
git worktree add ../project-feature-a -b feature-a

# Or create a worktree with an existing branch
git worktree add ../project-bugfix bugfix-123

This creates a new directory with a separate working copy of your repository.

Run Claude Code in each worktree

Copy

# Navigate to your worktree
cd ../project-feature-a

# Run Claude Code in this isolated environment
claude

In another terminal:

Copy

cd ../project-bugfix
claude

Manage your worktrees

Copy

# List all worktrees
git worktree list

# Remove a worktree when done
git worktree remove ../project-feature-a

Tips:

Each worktree has its own independent file state, making it perfect for parallel Claude Code sessions
Changes made in one worktree won't affect others, preventing Claude instances from interfering with each other
All worktrees share the same Git history and remote connections
For long-running tasks, you can have Claude working in one worktree while you continue development in another
Use descriptive directory names to easily identify which task each worktree is for
Remember to initialize your development environment in each new worktree according to your project's setup. Depending on your stack, this might include:
- JavaScript projects: Running dependency installation ( npm install, yarn)
- Python projects: Setting up virtual environments or installing with package managers
- Other languages: Following your project's standard setup process

# Themed Hybrid UI Component Specification v4

## Evolution from v3: Modular Architecture

This specification builds upon v3's successful themed hybrid component approach with a critical architectural improvement: **separation of concerns through modular file structure**. While v3 delivered powerful themed components in single HTML files, v4 embraces modern development practices by splitting each component into three distinct files within organized directories.

### Key Improvements in v4:
- **Maintainability**: Styles and scripts can be modified without touching HTML structure
- **Reusability**: CSS themes and JavaScript behaviors can be extended or shared
- **Performance**: Better browser caching, conditional loading, and optimization opportunities
- **Collaboration**: Teams can work on styling, structure, and behavior independently
- **Scalability**: Components are ready for integration into larger systems
- **Developer Experience**: Clean separation follows industry best practices

## Core Challenge (Enhanced)
Create a **uniquely themed UI component** that combines multiple existing UI elements into one elegant solution, now with **professional-grade file organization** that demonstrates mastery of modern web development practices.

Apply a distinctive design language while solving multiple interface problems in a single, cohesive component - achieving "two birds with one stone" efficiency through both functional integration and architectural excellence.

## Output Requirements

**Directory Structure**: `ui_hybrid_[iteration_number]/`

Each iteration creates its own directory containing exactly three files:

ui_hybrid_[iteration_number]/ ├── index.html # Semantic HTML structure ├── styles.css # Complete styling and theme implementation └── script.js # All JavaScript functionality and interactions


**File Naming**: 
- Directory: `ui_hybrid_[iteration_number]` (e.g., `ui_hybrid_1`, `ui_hybrid_2`)
- Files: Always `index.html`, `styles.css`, `script.js` (consistent naming)

## Content Structure

### **index.html** - Semantic Structure

Design Dimensions (Preserved from v3)

Unique Theme Development

Each component must embody a distinctive design language that creates personality and memorable experience. The multi-file structure enhances theme implementation:

Enhanced Theme Implementation

CSS Variables: Define theme tokens in :root for consistent application
Modular Styles: Theme variations can be swapped by changing stylesheets
JavaScript Theming: Dynamic theme features separated from core functionality
Asset Organization: Theme-specific assets referenced properly from each file

[All theme categories from v3 remain the same: Organic Nature, Digital Minimalism, Retro Computing, etc.]

Hybrid Component Strategy

The same powerful combinations from v3, now with better architectural separation:

Architectural Benefits per Component Type

Search Hub: Search logic isolated in JS, theme animations in CSS
Input Intelligence: Validation rules in JS, visual feedback in CSS
Data Explorer: Sorting algorithms in JS, table styling in CSS
Media Player: Playback logic in JS, visualizer styles in CSS

[All component combinations from v3 remain valid]

Enhancement Principles (Evolved)

Architectural Excellence (New in v4)

Separation of Concerns: Each file has a single, clear responsibility
No Inline Styles/Scripts: All styling in CSS, all behavior in JavaScript
Progressive Enhancement: HTML works without CSS/JS, enhanced by both
Module Boundaries: Clear interfaces between files, no tight coupling
Future-Ready: Structure supports build tools, frameworks, component libraries

Development Best Practices (New in v4)

CSS Organization: Logical section ordering, consistent naming conventions
JavaScript Patterns: Modern ES6+, class-based or functional approaches
HTML Semantics: Proper element selection, accessibility-first markup
Performance Focus: Optimized selectors, efficient event handling
Documentation: Clear comments explaining theme decisions and component logic

[All original enhancement principles from v3 remain: Thematic Consistency, Functional Integration, Practical Excellence]

File Integration Guidelines

Linking Strategy

Consistent Paths: Always use relative paths (href="styles.css")
Load Order: CSS in <head>, JavaScript before </body>
No CDNs: All functionality self-contained within the three files
Fallbacks: Graceful degradation if CSS or JS fails to load

Communication Between Files

HTML → CSS: Semantic class names, data attributes for styling hooks
HTML → JS: IDs for unique elements, data attributes for configuration
CSS → JS: CSS custom properties readable by JavaScript
JS → CSS: Dynamic class additions, CSS variable updates

Naming Conventions

CSS Classes: BEM, semantic, or consistent methodology
JavaScript: camelCase for variables/functions, PascalCase for classes
Data Attributes: data-component-* for component-specific data
CSS Variables: --theme-* prefix for theme variables

Quality Standards (Enhanced)

Code Quality (New in v4)

Valid HTML: Passes W3C validation, proper semantic structure
CSS Organization: Logical property grouping, no redundancy
JavaScript Quality: No global pollution, proper error handling
Cross-Browser: Works in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
Performance: Lighthouse score of 90+ in all categories

File-Specific Standards (New in v4)

HTML: Semantic, accessible, minimal, no presentation logic
CSS: Organized, maintainable, efficient selectors, mobile-first
JavaScript: Modular, testable, documented, memory-efficient

[All original quality standards from v3 remain in effect]

Migration Example: v3 to v4

v3 Structure (Single File):

ui_hybrid_1.html (contains everything)

v4 Structure (Modular):

ui_hybrid_1/
├── index.html (structure only)
├── styles.css (all styling)
└── script.js (all behavior)

The same themed hybrid component now benefits from:

3x better caching (each file cached independently)
Easier debugging (concerns separated)
Simpler version control (changes isolated to relevant files)
Team collaboration (parallel development possible)
Build tool ready (can be processed, minified, bundled)

Iteration Evolution (Enhanced)

Architectural Sophistication (New in v4)

Foundation (1-3): Clean separation, basic modular structure
Refinement (4-6): Advanced CSS architecture, sophisticated JS patterns
Innovation (7+): Creative file communication, advanced state management

Development Complexity

Phase 1: Standard separation with clear file boundaries
Phase 2: Advanced patterns like CSS custom properties + JS integration
Phase 3: Sophisticated architectures with event systems, style injection
Phase 4: Revolutionary approaches to component modularity

Ultra-Thinking Directive (Enhanced)

Before each themed hybrid creation, deeply consider:

Architectural Decisions:

How can the three-file structure enhance this specific theme?
What belongs in CSS vs JavaScript for this component type?
How can files communicate elegantly for this use case?
What patterns best support this component's evolution?
How does separation improve maintainability here?

File Responsibility Planning:

What is the minimal, semantic HTML needed?
Which styles are structural vs thematic?
What JavaScript is essential vs enhancement?
How can each file remain focused and clean?
Where are the natural boundaries between concerns?

Integration Excellence:

How do the files work together seamlessly?
What naming conventions ensure clarity?
How can we avoid tight coupling?
What patterns enable future extensions?
How does the architecture support the theme?

[All original ultra-thinking directives from v3 remain relevant]

Generate components that are:

Architecturally Sound: Professional-grade file organization and separation
Thematically Distinctive: Strong design personality across all three files
Functionally Integrated: Multiple UI capabilities with clean code boundaries
Professionally Crafted: Industry-standard patterns and practices
Immediately Impressive: Excellence visible in both UI and code structure

The evolution from v3 to v4 represents growth from powerful prototypes to production-ready components, maintaining all creative excellence while adding architectural sophistication.

**INFINITE AGENTIC LOOP COMMAND**

Think deeply about this infinite generation task. You are about to embark on a sophisticated iterative creation process.

**Variables:**

spec_file: $ARGUMENTS
output_dir: $ARGUMENTS
count: $ARGUMENTS

**ARGUMENTS PARSING:**
Parse the following arguments from "$ARGUMENTS":
1. `spec_file` - Path to the markdown specification file
2. `output_dir` - Directory where iterations will be saved  
3. `count` - Number of iterations (1-N or "infinite")

**PHASE 1: SPECIFICATION ANALYSIS**
Read and deeply understand the specification file at `spec_file`. This file defines:
- What type of content to generate
- The format and structure requirements
- Any specific parameters or constraints
- The intended evolution pattern between iterations

Think carefully about the spec's intent and how each iteration should build upon previous work.

**PHASE 2: OUTPUT DIRECTORY RECONNAISSANCE** 
Thoroughly analyze the `output_dir` to understand the current state:
- List all existing files and their naming patterns
- Identify the highest iteration number currently present
- Analyze the content evolution across existing iterations
- Understand the trajectory of previous generations
- Determine what gaps or opportunities exist for new iterations

**PHASE 3: ITERATION STRATEGY**
Based on the spec analysis and existing iterations:
- Determine the starting iteration number (highest existing + 1)
- Plan how each new iteration will be unique and evolutionary
- Consider how to build upon previous iterations while maintaining novelty
- If count is "infinite", prepare for continuous generation until context limits

**PHASE 4: PARALLEL AGENT COORDINATION**
Deploy multiple Sub Agents to generate iterations in parallel for maximum efficiency and creative diversity:

**Sub-Agent Distribution Strategy:**
- For count 1-5: Launch all agents simultaneously 
- For count 6-20: Launch in batches of 5 agents to manage coordination
- For "infinite": Launch waves of 3-5 agents, monitoring context and spawning new waves

**Agent Assignment Protocol:**
Each Sub Agent receives:
1. **Spec Context**: Complete specification file analysis
2. **Directory Snapshot**: Current state of output_dir at launch time
3. **Iteration Assignment**: Specific iteration number (starting_number + agent_index)
4. **Uniqueness Directive**: Explicit instruction to avoid duplicating concepts from existing iterations
5. **Quality Standards**: Detailed requirements from the specification

**Agent Task Specification:**

TASK: Generate iteration [NUMBER] for [SPEC_FILE] in [OUTPUT_DIR]

You are Sub Agent [X] generating iteration [NUMBER].

CONTEXT:

Specification: [Full spec analysis]
Existing iterations: [Summary of current output_dir contents]
Your iteration number: [NUMBER]
Assigned creative direction: [Specific innovation dimension to explore]

REQUIREMENTS:

Read and understand the specification completely
Analyze existing iterations to ensure your output is unique
Generate content following the spec format exactly
Focus on [assigned innovation dimension] while maintaining spec compliance
Create file with exact name pattern specified
Ensure your iteration adds genuine value and novelty

DELIVERABLE: Single file as specified, with unique innovative content


**Parallel Execution Management:**
- Launch all assigned Sub Agents simultaneously using Task tool
- Monitor agent progress and completion
- Handle any agent failures by reassigning iteration numbers
- Ensure no duplicate iteration numbers are generated
- Collect and validate all completed iterations

**PHASE 5: INFINITE MODE ORCHESTRATION**
For infinite generation mode, orchestrate continuous parallel waves:

**Wave-Based Generation:**
1. **Wave Planning**: Determine next wave size (3-5 agents) based on context capacity
2. **Agent Preparation**: Prepare fresh context snapshots for each new wave
3. **Progressive Sophistication**: Each wave should explore more advanced innovation dimensions
4. **Context Monitoring**: Track total context usage across all agents and main orchestrator
5. **Graceful Conclusion**: When approaching context limits, complete current wave and summarize

**Infinite Execution Cycle:**

WHILE context_capacity > threshold: 1. Assess current output_dir state 2. Plan next wave of agents (size based on remaining context) 3. Assign increasingly sophisticated creative directions 4. Launch parallel Sub Agent wave 5. Monitor wave completion 6. Update directory state snapshot 7. Evaluate context capacity remaining 8. If sufficient capacity: Continue to next wave 9. If approaching limits: Complete final wave and summarize


**Progressive Sophistication Strategy:**
- **Wave 1**: Basic functional replacements with single innovation dimension
- **Wave 2**: Multi-dimensional innovations with enhanced interactions  
- **Wave 3**: Complex paradigm combinations with adaptive behaviors
- **Wave N**: Revolutionary concepts pushing the boundaries of the specification

**Context Optimization:**
- Each wave uses fresh agent instances to avoid context accumulation
- Main orchestrator maintains lightweight state tracking
- Progressive summarization of completed iterations to manage context
- Strategic pruning of less essential details in later waves

**EXECUTION PRINCIPLES:**

**Quality & Uniqueness:**
- Each iteration must be genuinely unique and valuable
- Build upon previous work while introducing novel elements
- Maintain consistency with the original specification
- Ensure proper file organization and naming

**Parallel Coordination:**
- Deploy Sub Agents strategically to maximize creative diversity
- Assign distinct innovation dimensions to each agent to avoid overlap
- Coordinate timing to prevent file naming conflicts
- Monitor all agents for successful completion and quality

**Scalability & Efficiency:**
- Think deeply about the evolution trajectory across parallel streams
- For infinite mode, optimize for maximum valuable output before context exhaustion
- Use wave-based generation to manage context limits intelligently  
- Balance parallel speed with quality and coordination overhead

**Agent Management:**
- Provide each Sub Agent with complete context and clear assignments
- Handle agent failures gracefully with iteration reassignment
- Ensure all parallel outputs integrate cohesively with the overall progression

**ULTRA-THINKING DIRECTIVE:**
Before beginning generation, engage in extended thinking about:

**Specification & Evolution:**
- The deeper implications of the specification
- How to create meaningful progression across iterations  
- What makes each iteration valuable and unique
- How to balance consistency with innovation

**Parallel Strategy:**
- Optimal Sub Agent distribution for the requested count
- How to assign distinct creative directions to maximize diversity
- Wave sizing and timing for infinite mode
- Context management across multiple parallel agents

**Coordination Challenges:**
- How to prevent duplicate concepts across parallel streams
- Strategies for ensuring each agent produces genuinely unique output
- Managing file naming and directory organization with concurrent writes
- Quality control mechanisms for parallel outputs

**Infinite Mode Optimization:**
- Wave-based generation patterns for sustained output
- Progressive sophistication strategies across multiple waves
- Context capacity monitoring and graceful conclusion planning
- Balancing speed of parallel generation with depth of innovation

**Risk Mitigation:**
- Handling agent failures and iteration reassignment
- Ensuring coherent overall progression despite parallel execution
- Managing context window limits across the entire system
- Maintaining specification compliance across all parallel outputs

Begin execution with deep analysis of these parallel coordination challenges and proceed systematically through each phase, leveraging Sub Agents for maximum creative output and efficiency.
