+# Phase 2: Template System Enhancement
+
+## Objective
+Implement a robust, physics-aware template system that eliminates manual RST editing by making all documentation customizations persistent through templates that survive build regeneration.
+
+## Context
+After Phase 1, documentation builds are functional. Phase 2 establishes the template foundation that enables automated, consistent documentation generation while preserving scientific context and customizations.
+
+## Current Template Infrastructure
+
+### Existing Components
+- **Template directory**: `docs/source/_templates/autosummary/`
+- **Template files**: `module.rst`, `class.rst` 
+- **Sphinx configuration**: `autosummary_generate = True`
+- **Post-processing**: `docs/add_no_index.py` script
+- **Build integration**: Makefile with `api` target
+
+### Template Processing Pipeline
+```
+sphinx-apidoc → Template Application → Post-processing → HTML Generation
+     ↓                    ↓                 ↓               ↓
+RST Generation      Template Merge    add_no_index.py   Final Docs
+```
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### Step 2.1: Template Analysis and Baseline (30 minutes)
+
+**Current Template Assessment**:
+```bash
+# Examine existing templates
+ls -la docs/source/_templates/autosummary/
+cat docs/source/_templates/autosummary/module.rst
+cat docs/source/_templates/autosummary/class.rst
+```
+
+**Identify Enhancement Areas**:
+1. **Physics Context**: Add scientific documentation sections
+2. **Cross-references**: Improve linking between physics concepts  
+3. **Units and Dimensions**: Standardize physical quantity documentation
+4. **Examples**: Template-driven example generation
+5. **Bibliography**: Physics-specific references
+
+### Step 2.2: Enhanced Module Template (60 minutes)
+
+**Target**: `docs/source/_templates/autosummary/module.rst`
+
+**Enhanced Template Structure**:
+```rst
+{{ fullname | escape | underline}}

+   Physical Properties
+   ===================
+
+{% if objname == 'Plasma' %}
+   
+   **Multi-Species Plasma Container**
+   
+   The Plasma class represents a collection of ion species and magnetic field data,
+   providing comprehensive analysis capabilities for solar wind plasma physics.
+   
+   **Physical Context**:
+   - Contains multiple Ion instances representing different species
+   - Manages magnetic field vector data and derived quantities
+   - Provides plasma-level calculations and analysis methods
+   - Maintains temporal coherence across all plasma components
+   
+   **Key Physical Relationships**:

+   .. math::
+   
+      \rho = \sum_i n_i m_i \quad \text{(total mass density)}
+      
+      V_A = \frac{B}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \rho}} \quad \text{(Alfvén velocity)}

+      \beta = \frac{2\mu_0 \sum_i n_i k T_i}{B^2} \quad \text{(plasma beta)}
+
+{% elif objname == 'Ion' %}
+
+   **Single Ion Species Analysis**
+   
+   The Ion class represents a single ion species with its associated physical
+   properties, moments, and derived quantities for solar wind analysis.
+   
+   **Physical Properties**:
+   - Number density (n): particles per cubic meter
+   - Bulk velocity (V): three-component vector in km/s
+   - Temperature (T): scalar or tensor in Kelvin
+   - Thermal speed (w): based on mw² = 2kT convention
+   
+   **Moment Calculations**:
+   
+   .. math::
+   
+      n = \int f(\mathbf{v}) d^3v \quad \text{(zeroth moment)}
+      
+      \mathbf{V} = \frac{1}{n} \int \mathbf{v} f(\mathbf{v}) d^3v \quad \text{(first moment)}

+
+{% elif objname == 'Base' %}
+
+   **Foundation Physics Class**
+   
+   The Base class provides fundamental physics constants, unit conversions,
+   and common functionality shared across all SolarWindPy physics classes.
+   
+   **Physical Constants**:
+   - Fundamental constants (k, c, mp, me, etc.)
+   - Unit conversion factors
+   - Standard solar wind reference values
+   
+   **Conventions**:
+   - SI units for all internal calculations
+   - Consistent treatment of missing data (NaN)
+   - Thermal speed convention: mw² = 2kT
+
+{% endif %}
+
+   Units and Dimensions
+   ====================
+   
+   **Internal Representation** (SI base units):
+   - Length: meters
+   - Time: seconds  
+   - Mass: kilograms
+   - Temperature: Kelvin
+   - Magnetic field: Tesla
+   
+   **Display Units** (solar wind context):
+   - Velocity: km/s
+   - Number density: particles/cm³
+   - Magnetic field: nT
+   - Temperature: K or eV
+   
+   **Data Quality Standards**:
+   - Missing values: NaN (numpy.nan)
+   - Invalid values: Never 0 or -999

+
+## Testing and Validation
+
+### Step 2.7: Template Testing (30 minutes)
+
+**Test Enhanced Templates**:
+```bash
+cd docs
+
+# Validate templates
+python validate_templates.py
+
+# Generate with enhanced templates
+make clean
+make api-enhanced
+
+# Verify physics sections appear
+grep -r "Physical Properties" source/api/
+grep -r "Physics Overview" source/api/
+grep -r "Units and Dimensions" source/api/
+
+# Build HTML to test rendering
+make html
+
+# Check for enhanced content in HTML
+grep -r "Physical Properties" _build/html/
+```
+
+**Expected Results**:
+- Templates pass validation
+- Physics sections appear in generated RST
+- HTML renders correctly with enhanced content
+- Cross-references work properly
+
+## Phase Completion
+
+### Commit Changes
+```bash
+# Add all template enhancements
+git add docs/source/_templates/autosummary/module.rst \
+        docs/source/_templates/autosummary/class.rst \
+        docs/add_no_index.py \
+        docs/validate_templates.py \
+        docs/Makefile
+
+# Commit template system enhancements
+git commit -m "feat: implement physics-aware documentation template system
+
+Template Enhancements:
+- Enhanced module.rst with physics overview sections
+- Enhanced class.rst with physical properties documentation  
+- Added physics context for Plasma, Ion, Base classes
+- Implemented units and dimensions standardization
+- Added cross-reference improvements
+
+Processing Improvements:
+- Enhanced add_no_index.py with physics validation
+- Added template syntax validation script
+- Improved cross-reference handling
+- Added physics-specific content validation
+
+Build System:
+- Enhanced Makefile with template validation
+- Added development build targets
+- Integrated physics-aware processing pipeline
+
+Phase 2 of ReadTheDocs automation: Template persistence achieved.
+All documentation customizations now survive build regeneration."
+```
+
+### Create Phase Boundary Compaction
+```bash
+# Create compaction for phase transition
+python .claude/hooks/create-compaction.py
+```
+
+This creates git tag: `claude/compaction/readthedocs-phase-2`
+

+
+## Next Phase Preparation
+
+Phase 2 establishes the persistent template foundation. Phase 3 will:
+1. **Audit template output** - Verify all physics content renders correctly
+2. **Configure ReadTheDocs** - Set up automated deployment
+3. **Implement quality checks** - Automated validation pipeline
+4. **Test automation** - End-to-end deployment verification
+
+The template system ensures that all documentation customizations are permanent and automatically applied, eliminating the manual RST editing problem.
