All design decisions have been made and documented. Ready to begin implementation.
- ✅ Approach: Hybrid (I draft Tier 1-2, you draft Tier 3-4)
- ✅ Count: 94 templates total (2 per verb + bonuses for high-freq)
- ✅ Complexity: Match verb tier
- ✅ English: Mix of literal and natural
- ✅ High-Frequency: 10 verbs get 3-4 templates each
- ✅ Subjects: 7 total (yo, tú, vos, él/ella/usted, nosotros, vosotros, ellos/ellas/ustedes)
- ✅ Defaults: vos and vosotros unchecked
- ✅ Tenses: Present, Preterite, Future (Phase 1)
- ✅ Tense Scaling: Templates are tense-agnostic (easy to add more tenses)
- ✅ Export: TSV for Anki + ASCII/HTML conjugation tables
- ✅ Architecture: Controller-Service pattern from apg-web
- ✅ Tag System: Use tag_system_v3_documentation.md
- Verbs: 42 (provided in verb_list_refactored.tsv)
- Templates: 94 (to be created)
- Conjugations: 882 forms (42 verbs × 7 subjects × 3 tenses)
- Total File Size: ~100-150KB
- Tier 1: 30 templates (10 verbs × 3 each)
- Tier 2: 20 templates (10 verbs × 2 each)
- Tier 3: 24 templates (12 verbs × 2 each)
- Tier 4: 20 templates (10 verbs × 2 each)
- Maximum: 1,764 cards (all verbs, all subjects, all tenses, all templates)
- Typical: 100-200 cards (10 verbs, 5 subjects, 1-2 tenses)
- I create: Tier 1 templates (10 verbs, 30 templates)
- You review: My Tier 1 drafts
- I create: Project structure skeleton
- I create: Tier 2 templates (10 verbs, 20 templates)
- You review: My Tier 2 drafts
- You start: Tier 3 templates (12 verbs, 24 templates)
- You finish: Tier 3 templates
- You create: Tier 4 templates (10 verbs, 20 templates)
- I review: Your Tier 3-4 drafts
- Both: Final review and adjustments
- I format: All templates as JSON
- I create: Conjugation generation script
- I generate: conjugations.json
All design documents created:
- ✅ IMPLEMENTATION_MANDATE.md - Original design doc
- ✅ FEASIBILITY_ANALYSIS.md - Technical feasibility
- ✅ DECISIONS.md - All 24 decisions documented
- ✅ TEMPLATE_SYSTEM_EXPLAINED.md - What templates are
- ✅ TEMPLATE_DECISIONS_FINAL.md - Template strategy confirmed
- ✅ TENSE_SCALING_ANALYSIS.md - How tenses scale
- ✅ REFERENCE_REPO_ANALYSIS.md - Patterns from existing repos
- ✅ ANSWERS_TO_QUESTIONS.md - Q&A responses
- ✅ README.md - Project overview
- ✅ STATUS.md - This file
Discovery: Templates are tense-agnostic!
- Same 94 templates work for ALL tenses
- Adding new tenses only requires conjugation data
- No need to recreate templates per tense
Rationale:
- I handle foundational verbs (Tier 1-2)
- You handle specialized verbs (Tier 3-4)
- Mutual review ensures quality
- Faster than either solo approach
Strategy:
- 10 most common verbs get 3-4 templates
- Provides variety where it matters most
- Model verbs (HABLAR, COMER, VIVIR) get comprehensive examples
Status: All planning complete, ready for implementation
First Deliverable: Tier 1 templates (30 templates for 10 verbs)
Timeline: 3-4 weeks for all templates, then begin coding
Nothing! All questions answered. Ready to proceed.
When you're ready: I'll start drafting Tier 1 templates for your review.
Design Phase: ✅ COMPLETE
Template Strategy: ✅ CONFIRMED
Technical Decisions: ✅ FINALIZED
Documentation: ✅ COMPREHENSIVE
Next Step: ⏳ Begin template creation
We're ready to build! 🚀
