Template Selection

Step 2: Pick a pre-built template or start from scratch.

Templates provide pre-configured starting points for your agent. Each template includes default tool selections, sample prompts, and specialization text tailored to specific use cases.

Template Benefits

  • Faster setup - Skip manual tool configuration
  • Best practices - Templates encode recommended configurations
  • Sample prompts - See what your agent can do
  • Specialization - Agent behavior tuned for the use case

Template Structure

Each template defines:

  • Default tools - Pre-selected tools appropriate for the use case
  • Sample prompts - Example queries showing agent capabilities
  • Specialization text - Instructions that shape agent behavior
  • Documentation - Description of the template's purpose

Custom Template Option

If no template fits your needs, select Custom to start with a blank configuration. You'll need to manually select all tools and write your own specialization text.

Recommendation

Start with a template even if it's not a perfect fit. You can modify all settings in subsequent wizard steps. Templates save time and encode best practices.

After Selection

When you select a template, the wizard will:

  1. Load the template's default tool configuration
  2. Set the specialization text
  3. Automatically advance to the SDK Configuration step
