|
|
|
4. **Precision and Specificity**
|
|
- Exact language, no ambiguity

## System Capabilities
|
|
|
|
### Core Innovation: Pluggable Templates
|
|
|
|
**Problem Solved:**
|
|
Traditional infinite loops hardcode agent instructions in orchestrator commands, making them:
|
|
- Difficult to reuse for different tasks
|
|
- Hard to modify or improve
|
|
- Inconsistent in quality
|
|
- Not composable
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
Pluggable template system where:
|
|
- Templates are reusable blueprints
|
|
- Parameters customize behavior
|
|
- Orchestrator loads, instantiates, deploys
|
|
- Consistent quality through structured design
|
|
|
|
### Template System Features
|
|
|
|
1. **Parameterization**
|
|
- `{{PARAMETER}}` placeholder syntax
|
|
- Type-safe parameter definitions
|
|
- Required vs optional parameters
|
|
- Default values for optional params
|
|
|
|
2. **Structured Instructions**
|
|
- 11 required sections
|
|
- 3-7 execution steps per template
|
|
- Expected outputs for each step
|
|
- Validation checklists
|
|
|
|
3. **Role-Based Design**
|
|
- Clear agent role definitions
|
|
- Expertise areas specified
|
|
- Working style guidance
|
|
- Responsibility boundaries
|
|
|
|
4. **Quality Assurance**
|
|

## Technical Implementation
|
|
|
|
### Parameter Substitution Mechanism
|
|
|
|
**Template (before):**
|
|
```markdown
|
|
Read file: `{{SPEC_FILE}}`
|
|
Write to: `{{OUTPUT_DIR}}/{{FILE_NAME}}`
|
|
Learn from: `{{WEB_URL}}`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Orchestrator mapping:**
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"SPEC_FILE": "specs/example.md",
|
|
"OUTPUT_DIR": "viz_output",
|
|
"FILE_NAME": "viz_network_001.html",
|
|
"WEB_URL": "https://d3js.org/d3-force"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Instantiated task (after):**
|
|
```markdown
|
|
Read file: `specs/example.md`
|
|
Write to: `viz_output/viz_network_001.html`
|
|
Learn from: `https://d3js.org/d3-force`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Orchestration Flow
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Phase 1: Template Loading
|
|
├── Read template file
|
|
├── Parse structure
|
|
└── Validate completeness
|
|
|
|
Phase 2: Context Preparation
|
|
├── Load specification
|
|
├── Analyze existing iterations
|
|
└── Prepare URL strategy (if web template)
|
|
|
|
Phase 3: Task Instantiation
|
|
├── For each iteration:
|
|
│ ├── Create parameter mapping
|
|
│ ├── Substitute placeholders
|
|
│ └── Verify uniqueness
|
|
└── Result: N complete agent tasks
|
|
|
|
Phase 4: Parallel Deployment
|
|
├── Launch agents with instantiated tasks
|
|
├── Agents work independently
|
|
└── Collect results
|
|
|
|
Phase 5: Wave Management (infinite mode)
|
|
├── Assess wave completion
|
|
├── Prepare next batch
|
|
└── Continue until context limits
|
|
|
|
Phase 6: Summary
|
|
├── Generate summary report
|
|
├── Quality verification
|
|
└── User-facing completion report
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Progressive Learning (Web-Enhanced)
|
|
|
|
**URL Strategy Structure:**
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"URL_STRATEGY": {
|
|
"foundation": ["beginner URLs"],
|
|
"intermediate": ["intermediate URLs"],
|
|
"advanced": ["advanced URLs"],
|
|
"expert": ["expert URLs"]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Assignment Logic:**
|
|
- Iterations 1-5: Foundation
|
|
- Iterations 6-10: Intermediate
|
|
- Iterations 11-20: Advanced
|
|
- Iterations 21+: Expert
|
|
|
|
**Dynamic Fallback:**
|
|
When pre-defined URLs exhausted, use WebSearch to find relevant resources.

|
|
## Innovation Highlights
|
|
|
|
### 1. Template as Contract
|
|
Templates define complete agent behavior, not just hints. Agent receives fully instantiated instructions with all context.
|
|
|
|
### 2. "Be Clear and Direct" Foundation
|
|
Every template embodies Anthropic's prompt engineering principles:
|
|
- Contextual clarity
|
|
- Sequential instructions
|
|
- New employee approach
|
|
- Precision and examples
|
|
|
|
### 3. Composability
|
|
Templates can reference other templates, enabling meta-workflows and pipeline orchestration.
|
|
|
|
### 4. Progressive Learning Integration
|
|
Web-research-generator template supports URL strategy for progressive skill acquisition.
|
|
|
|
### 5. Quality Assurance Built-In
|
|
Dedicated analyzer and validator templates make QA a first-class workflow.
|
|
|
|
### 6. Template Creation Tools
|
|
`/create-template` command makes it easy to extend the system with new template types.
|
|
|
|
### 7. Parameter Type System
|
|
Structured parameter documentation with types, requirements, defaults, and examples.
|
|
|
|
### 8. Self-Verification
|
|
Validation checklists enable agents to self-verify before task completion.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Use Case Examples
|
|
|
|
### 1. Learning Campaign
|
|
Generate 20 D3 visualizations with progressive web learning:
|
|
```bash
|
|
/infinite-templated web-research-generator specs/d3_spec.md d3_out 20 params/d3_urls.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Component Library
|
|
Create 50 unique UI components:
|
|
```bash
|
|
/infinite-templated code-generator specs/ui_spec.md components 50
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. QA Pipeline
|
|
Generate → Analyze → Validate → Remediate:
|
|
```bash
|
|
/infinite-templated code-generator spec.md out 20
|
|
/infinite-templated analyzer criteria.md analysis.md 1
|
|
/infinite-templated validator rules.md validation.md 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4. Infinite Learning
|
|
Continuous generation until context limits:
|
|
```bash
|
|
/infinite-templated web-research-generator spec.md output infinite params/progressive.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 5. Custom Workflow
|
|
Create domain-specific template and use it:
|
|
```bash
|
|
/create-template api-tester testing "Test REST APIs"
|
|
/infinite-templated api-tester test_cases.md reports/api_test.md 1
|
|
```

3. Context provision (purpose, workflow, success)
|
|
4. "New employee" approach (explain everything)
|
|
5. Explicit expected outputs for each step
|
|
|
|
**Evidence of Learning:**
|
|
- Every template has "Agent Role Definition" section
|
|
- All templates use 3-7 numbered execution steps
|
|
- Each step specifies "Expected Output"
|
|
- "Task Context" sections explain purpose and position
|
|
- Example usage shows concrete application
|
|
- Validation checklists enable self-verification
