- # APEX Template System
2
-
3
- ## Overview
4
-
5
- This directory contains template files used to initialize APEX workflow outputs when save mode (`-s`) is enabled. This template system significantly reduces token usage by moving repetitive content out of step files.
6
-
7
- ## Template Files
8
-
9
- | Template | Purpose | Created When |
10
- |----------|---------|--------------|
11
- | `00-context.md` | Workflow configuration and progress tracking | Always (if save_mode) |
12
- | `01-analyze.md` | Analysis findings | Always (if save_mode) |
13
- | `02-plan.md` | Implementation plan | Always (if save_mode) |
14
- | `03-execute.md` | Implementation log | Always (if save_mode) |
15
- | `04-validate.md` | Validation results | Always (if save_mode) |
16
- | `05-examine.md` | Adversarial review findings | Only if examine_mode enabled |
17
- | `06-resolve.md` | Finding resolution log | Only if examine_mode enabled |
18
- | `07-tests.md` | Test analysis and creation | Only if test_mode enabled |
19
- | `08-run-tests.md` | Test runner log | Only if test_mode enabled |
20
- | `09-finish.md` | PR creation log | Only if pr_mode enabled |
21
- | `step-complete.md` | Completion marker template | Referenced in steps |
22
-
23
- ## Template Variables
24
-
25
- Templates use `{{variable}}` syntax for placeholders:
26
-
27
- | Variable | Description | Example |
28
- |----------|-------------|---------|
29
- | `{{task_id}}` | Kebab-case task identifier | `01-add-auth-middleware` |
30
- | `{{task_description}}` | Plain text task description | `add authentication middleware` |
31
- | `{{timestamp}}` | ISO 8601 timestamp | `2026-01-12T10:30:00Z` |
32
- | `{{auto_mode}}` | Auto mode flag | `true` or `false` |
33
- | `{{examine_mode}}` | Examine mode flag | `true` or `false` |
34
- | `{{save_mode}}` | Save mode flag | `true` or `false` |
35
- | `{{test_mode}}` | Test mode flag | `true` or `false` |
36
- | `{{economy_mode}}` | Economy mode flag | `true` or `false` |
37
- | `{{branch_mode}}` | Branch mode flag | `true` or `false` |
38
- | `{{pr_mode}}` | PR mode flag | `true` or `false` |
39
- | `{{interactive_mode}}` | Interactive mode flag | `true` or `false` |
40
- | `{{branch_name}}` | Git branch name | `feature/add-auth` |
41
- | `{{original_input}}` | Raw user input | `/apex -a -s add auth` |
42
- | `{{examine_status}}` | Progress status for examine steps | `⏸ Pending` or `⏭ Skip` |
43
- | `{{test_status}}` | Progress status for test steps | `⏸ Pending` or `⏭ Skip` |
44
- | `{{pr_status}}` | Progress status for PR step | `⏸ Pending` or `⏭ Skip` |
45
-
46
- ## Setup Script
47
-
48
- ### `setup-templates.sh`
49
-
50
- Initializes all template files in the output directory with variables replaced.
51
-
52
- **Usage:**
53
- ```bash
54
- bash scripts/setup-templates.sh \
55
- "task_id" \
56
- "task_description" \
57
- "auto_mode" \
58
- "examine_mode" \
59
- "save_mode" \
60
- "test_mode" \
61
- "economy_mode" \
62
- "branch_mode" \
63
- "pr_mode" \
64
- "interactive_mode" \
65
- "branch_name" \
66
- "original_input"
67
- ```
68
-
69
- **Output:**
70
- ```

83
-
84
- ## Progress Update Script
85
-
86
- ### `update-progress.sh`
87
-
88
- Updates the progress table in `00-context.md` without manual markdown editing.
89
-
90
- **Usage:**
91
- ```bash
92
- bash scripts/update-progress.sh <task_id> <step_number> <step_name> <status>
93
- ```
94
-
95
- **Examples:**
96
- ```bash
97
- # Mark step 01 as in progress
98
- bash scripts/update-progress.sh "01-add-auth" "01" "analyze" "in_progress"
99
-
100
- # Mark step 01 as complete
101
- bash scripts/update-progress.sh "01-add-auth" "01" "analyze" "complete"
102
-
103
- # Mark step 02 as in progress
104
- bash scripts/update-progress.sh "01-add-auth" "02" "plan" "in_progress"
105
- ```
106
-
107
- **Status Values:**
108
- - `in_progress` → `⏳ In Progress`
109
- - `complete` → `✓ Complete`
110
-
111
- ## Token Savings
112
-
113
- ### Before Optimization
114
-
115
- Each step file contained full template content inline:
116
-
117
- ```markdown
118
- ### 1. Initialize Save Output (if save_mode)
119
-
120
- **If `{save_mode}` = true:**
121
-
122
- Create `{output_dir}/01-analyze.md`:
123
- ```markdown
124
- # Step 01: Analyze
125
-
126
- **Task:** {task_description}
127
- **Started:** {ISO timestamp}
128
-
129
- ---
130
-
131
- ## Context Discovery
132
- ```
133
-
134
- Update `00-context.md` progress:
135
- ```markdown
136
- | 01-analyze | ⏳ In Progress | {timestamp} |
137
- ```
138
- ```
139
-
140
- **Token cost per step:** ~200 tokens × 9 steps = ~1,800 tokens
141
-
142
- ### After Optimization
143
-
144
- Step files now reference templates and scripts:
145
-
146
- ```markdown
147
- ### 1. Initialize Save Output (if save_mode)
148
-
149
- **If `{save_mode}` = true:**
150
-
151
- The file `{output_dir}/01-analyze.md` has already been created by the setup script.
152
-
153
- Update progress:
154
- ```bash
155
- bash {skill_dir}/scripts/update-progress.sh "{task_id}" "01" "analyze" "in_progress"
156
- ```
157
-
158
- Append your findings to `01-analyze.md` as you work.
159
- ```
160
-
161
- **Token cost per step:** ~50 tokens × 9 steps = ~450 tokens
162
-
163
- **Total savings:** ~1,350 tokens per workflow execution (75% reduction)
164
-
165
- ## How It Works
166
-
167
- 1. **Initialization (step-00-init.md):**
168
- - Runs `setup-templates.sh` once at workflow start
169
- - Creates all template files with variables replaced
170
- - Output directory is ready with pre-initialized files
171
-
172
- 2. **Each Step:**
173
- - Runs `update-progress.sh` to mark step as "in_progress"
174
- - Appends findings/logs to the pre-created step file
175
- - Runs `update-progress.sh` again to mark step as "complete"
176
-
177
- 3. **Benefits:**
178
- - AI doesn't need to hold template content in context
179
- - Consistent formatting across all workflows
180
- - Easy to update templates without editing step files
181
- - Scripts handle the tedious markdown updates
182
-
183
- ## Updating Templates
184
-
185
- To modify template content:
186
-
187
- 1. Edit the template file in `templates/`
188
- 2. Changes apply to all future workflows automatically
189
- 3. No need to update step files
190
-
191
- ## Maintenance
192
-
193
- - Templates are stateless (no workflow-specific logic)
194
- - Scripts are idempotent (safe to run multiple times)
195
- - Variables use `{{var}}` syntax to avoid conflicts with markdown
