# Templates

A template is a pre-wired starting point for a new agent — persona, instructions, tools, and skills already filled in. Pick one, tweak it, and you've skipped the blank-page problem.

## Starting from a template

Open Templates in the Agents workbench. Each card describes what it sets up; click Use and the manual editor opens, pre-filled from the template — a fresh id and name, ready for you to adjust and save. Nothing is saved until you do.

## The built-in templates

- Blank agent — start from nothing and wire it up yourself (opens an empty editor).
- Coding agent — reads, edits, and runs a codebase; seeded with the read / write / edit / bash / lsp tools and the code and debug skills.
- Research agent — web search plus synthesis with citations.
- Support triage — reads a queue, drafts replies, and escalates cleanly.
- QA agent — writes and runs tests, reports failures with repro steps.
- Starter crew — a supervised team of agents rather than a single one. See Crews.

## What a template pre-fills

A template seeds the editor’s authorable fields — the persona, the instructions, and the attached tools and skills. Everything else (role, model tier, connections) you set as usual. Because it lands in the same editor, you can change anything before saving.

> Template, AI, or scratchA template is the middle path between Build with AI (describe it, Foxora drafts it) and Start from scratch (a blank editor). Reach for a template when your need matches one of the common shapes; use AI when it doesn’t.

> Save your own (coming)Templates today are Foxora’s built-in starting points. Authoring and sharing your own templates is on the roadmap — for now, the fastest way to reuse a setup is to duplicate an existing agent and adjust it.
