How templates work, and how to build one worth sharing

Agent templates package reusable configurations—rather than just models—so teams can share the instructions, skills, tool access, and optional scheduled tasks that make an agent useful without manually recreating its setup. Each template combines a portable, vendor-neutral Agent Plugins base containing a manifest, skills, and MCP tool configuration with a NanoClaw-specific extension for persona instructions and scheduled tasks, preserving compatibility while separating platform-specific features. During installation, NanoClaw places components in an isolated agent container, layers persona guidance over its default safety prompt, and installs scheduled tasks in a paused state pending approval. Templates can be customized after installation, shared with others, and imported from compatible clients, while effective templates focus on a clear purpose, composable skills, secure credential handling, paused automation, and local testing before publication.
