You forgot to mention very crucial information, like what hash type you are dealing with and how long the passwords are and how many words are used and where the special characters should be inserted (between words or within words/anywhere) and ...
I think some steps can be easily done with something like -a 1 or combinator3 or even princeprocessor... but if your password candidate policies get too fancy and if you at the same time have to deal with a very slow hashing algorithm... it could make sense to use a dedicated/special password candidate generation script (purposely written for this specific scenario) and pipe its output to hashcat

Code:
perl my_special_password_generator.pl | hashcat -m 11600 -a 0 -r my_special.rules hashes.txt
