Template System

Station’s template system allows you to package agents, configurations, and dependencies into reusable bundles that can be shared, versioned, and deployed across environments.

What are Templates?

Templates are packaged configurations that include:

  • Agent definitions with prompts and configurations
  • MCP server configurations and tool dependencies
  • Environment variables and secrets
  • Documentation and usage examples

Creating Templates

From Existing Agents

# Export an agent as a template
stn agent export 1 ./templates/database-monitor

# Create template bundle
stn template bundle ./templates/database-monitor --output db-monitor.tar.gz

Template Structure

├── manifest.json           # Template metadata

├── examples/
