Templates

Templates are pre-built workflow patterns. Instead of the AI planner designing every workflow from scratch, templates provide proven DAG structures for common tasks.

How They Work

1. Pick a template (e.g., research_swarm)
2. Provide a goal
3. The template generates a complete DAG with steps, dependencies, and requirements

const chain = await client.summon({
  goal: 'Research CRISPR delivery mechanisms',
  roomId: 'bio-lab',
  template: 'research_swarm',
});

That single call generates a DAG like:

scope_research
├── investigate_domain_1  ─┐
├── investigate_domain_2  ─┤  parallel
├── investigate_domain_3  ─┘
└── synthesize_findings
    └── final_review

Available Templates

Software

Template	What it does
software_feature	Design → Implement → Review → Test → Deploy
bug_fix	Investigate → Reproduce → Fix → Verify → Deploy

Research

Template	What it does
research_swarm	Parallel research across sub-domains with synthesis
literature_review	Search → Screen → Extract → Synthesize
literature_review_continuous	Ongoing monitoring with dual review
hypothesis_swarm	Generate, attack, and validate competing hypotheses
research_monitor	Watch for new papers and evidence

Medical

Template	What it does
second_opinion	Medical case review with expert validation
rare_disease_diagnosis	Multi-specialist parallel diagnosis
clinical_trial_monitor	Multi-site trial surveillance + DSMB review
drug_interaction_analysis	PK/PD analysis with interaction matrix
epidemiological_investigation	Outbreak investigation pipeline

Other

Template	What it does
strategic_analysis	Market → Competition → Strategy → Plan
content_creation	Outline → Draft → Review → Edit → Publish
simple_task	Execute → Review → Finalize
parallel_execution	Split → Execute in parallel → Merge

Listing Templates

// All templates
const all = client.listTemplates();

// Filter by category
const medical = client.listTemplates('medical');

// Search by keyword
import { searchTemplates } from 'society-protocol';
const results = searchTemplates('pharmacology');
