🔧 Example Features

✨ Core Capabilities Demonstrated

Model Management

• AUTO Tags: Intelligent model selection - <AUTO task="analysis">Smart selection</AUTO>
• Contextual Selection: Task-specific model optimization
• Fallback Strategies: Graceful degradation when models unavailable

Control Flow

• Conditional Execution: condition: "{{ user_type == 'admin' }}"
• Parallel Processing: parallel: true, max_concurrent: 3
• Iterative Loops: while: "{{ quality_score < target }}", foreach: "{{ items }}"

Error Handling

• Retry Logic: retry: 3, backoff_strategy: "exponential"
• Graceful Failure: on_failure: continue, fallback_action: use_cached_data
• Circuit Breaker: Automatic service failure protection

Integration Patterns

• Tool Integration: MCP tools, external APIs, cloud services
• Multi-Modal Processing: Text, image, audio, and data integration
• Cross-Platform: Windows, macOS, Linux compatibility

🎨 Advanced Patterns

Quality-Driven Processing

# Iterative refinement until quality target met
while: "{{ current_quality < target_quality }}"
parameters:
  model: <AUTO task="quality_improvement">Quality-focused model</AUTO>

Dynamic Resource Allocation

# Adapt concurrency based on environment
max_concurrent: >-
  {%- if environment_type == 'edge' -%}1
  {%- elif environment_type == 'production' -%}8
  {%- else -%}4
  {%- endif %}

Cross-Modal Validation

# Validate information across different content types
condition: "{{ text_sentiment.confidence > 0.8 and image_analysis.matches_text }}"
