• Creating boilerplate code
• Producing structured documents
• Output follows predictable patterns

Phase 2: Select Template

Phase 3: Fill Template

Phase 4: Validate Output

Production Configuration:

• High security requirements
• Performance optimization
• Monitoring and logging
• Secrets management

Development Configuration:

• Debug mode enabled
• Verbose logging
• Local service URLs
• Mock credentials

Testing Configuration:

• Test database
• Reduced timeouts
• Isolated environment
• Deterministic behavior

Progressive Disclosure

Core workflow (this file):

• Requirement gathering
• Template selection logic
• Validation rules

Templates (references/):
