## 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**

- 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.

- 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
```
