# Community Templates

A **Template** is a portable bundle of skills (and optional seed memory) that any other MIRARI user can import in one click. Think of them as recipe books for agents.

## What ships in a template

```ts
type Template = {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  description: string;
  author: string;        // display name; never the raw user id
  category: string;
  skills: Array<{
    name: string;
    description: string;
    category: string;
    template_prompt: string;
    version: number;
  }>;
  seed_memory?: Array<{ label: string; category: string }>;
};
```

Notice what is **not** in the bundle:

* No API keys.
* No conversation logs.
* No raw user ids.
* No connection base URLs.

Export is a sanitization pass, not a database dump.

## Exporting

From the [Skill Forge](/entermirari-docs/the-six-rites/skill-forge.md), select one or more skills → **Export as Template**. The form lets you:

* Name and describe the bundle.
* Pick a category (writing, code, ops, research, support…).
* Optionally tick "include seed memory" — which pulls the top-N strongest memory nodes that are *style/preference* category (never raw facts) into the bundle.
* Publish to the public list, or keep it private with a share link.

## Importing

On the **Templates** page you'll see a gallery: glyph, name, author, category, install count. Clicking **Import** runs a server function that:

1. Inserts each skill into your `skills` table with status `accepted` (never auto-promoted — you decide).
2. Inserts any seed memory with `strength: 0.4` and `source: "template:<id>"`.
3. Logs an install for the template's counter.

You can then promote skills as you'd promote any local skill — there is no distinction between "imported" and "homegrown" once they land in your Forge.

## Why this matters

The most interesting part of running an agent isn't the model — it's the *accumulated craft* of prompting, remembering, and correcting it. Templates make that craft portable, so a great "Customer Support Oracle" or "Code Reviewer" can spread without anyone leaking their data.
