+## argo-tasks/group - `tpl-at-group`
+
+Group inputs into outputs to be used with `withParam` to run one task per grouping
+
+### Template usage
+
+Group the output of `tile-index-validate` into groups of size 5
+
+```yaml
+- name: group
+  templateRef:
+    name: tpl-at-group
+    template: main
+
+  arguments:
+    artifacts:
+    - name: input
+        from: "{{ tasks.tile-index-validate.outputs.artifacts.files }}"
+
+    parameters:
+    - name: size
+        value: 5
+
+  depends: "tile-index-validate"
+```
+
+### Consumer usage
+
+Using `withParams` to spin up a number of tasks from
+
+```yaml
+# ...
+
+steps:
+  # consume the output of a grouper
+  - - name: consume
+      template: consume
+      arguments:
+        parameters:

+
+        # All the grouped data as a folder
+        artifacts:
+          - name: group_data
+            from: "{{ steps.group.outputs.artifacts.output }}"
+
+      withParam: "{{ steps.group.outputs.parameters.output }}"
+
+# ...
+
+- name: consume
+  inputs:
+    # Id of the grouping file to consume
+    # to be used with `group_data`
+    parameters:
+    - name: group_id # "000", "001" ... etc
+
+    # grouped input data for the consumer, this will be a folder full of JSON files
+    # one file per groupId
+    artifacts:
+    - name: group_data
+      path: /tmp/input/
+
+    parameters:
+    - name: group_id # "000", "001" ... etc
+
+  script:
+    image: "019359803926.dkr.ecr.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/eks:argo-tasks-latest"

+    source: |
