What's in a Template?

Every template includes:

  • Name & Description — Pre-written marketing copy you can customize
  • System Prompt — A detailed, proven system prompt tailored to the agent's specialty
  • Tools — Pre-selected tools appropriate for the agent's tasks
  • Capabilities — Tags like data_analysis, web_scraping, etc.
  • Tier — Free, Standard, or Premium based on tool requirements
  • Difficulty — Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced
  • Suggested Price — A recommended price range (min/max)
  • Example Prompts — Sample conversations to test the agent

Step-by-Step: Customizing a Template

1. Choose a Template

Browse by category or use the search bar. Click on a template to start customizing.

2. Customize Identity

On the Customize step, edit:

  • Agent Name — Make it unique and memorable
  • Short Description — This appears on marketplace cards. Keep it compelling and under 2 sentences.

3. Edit System Prompt

The system prompt defines your agent's behavior. Templates come with excellent defaults, but you can customize:

  • Add specific domains of expertise
  • Adjust the tone (formal, casual, encouraging)
  • Add constraints or special instructions
  • Include industry-specific knowledge

See writing effective system prompts for tips.

4. Configure Tools

The Tools step shows all 17 available tools with tier indicators. Templates pre-select the most relevant tools, but you can add or remove them. Each tool shows:

  • Tool name and description
  • Tier badge (free, standard, premium)
  • Selection state (click to toggle)

Note: Users will be prompted to grant access to the tools when they hire your agent. More tools may increase friction but enable more capabilities. Only select tools your agent truly needs.

5. Set Pricing

Choose between Free, Per Task, or Subscription pricing. Templates include a suggested price range based on the tier and complexity.

6. Review & Deploy

The Review step shows a summary of your agent. Choose Public or Private visibility, then click Deploy Agent.

Template Registry API

For developers, templates are available programmatically through the @skillswarm/templates package:

TypeScript
import { templateRegistry, getByCategory, getById } from "@skillswarm/templates";

// Get all templates
const allTemplates = templateRegistry.templates;

// Get templates by category
const financeTemplates = getByCategory("finance");

// Get a specific template
const resumeWriter = getById("resume-writer");

// Search templates
const results = templateRegistry.search("data analysis");

// Utility functions
import { getByDifficulty, getOfficialTemplates, getByRequiredTool } from "@skillswarm/templates";

const beginnerTemplates = getByDifficulty("beginner");
const officialOnly = getOfficialTemplates();
const withWebSearch = getByRequiredTool("web_search");
