Seven
starter
templates.

Plain markdown you can save, edit, and version. Download one file or all seven, drop them into a folder, and point your agent at them. Same sources as the interactive overview. For a one-page map of roles and read order, open README.md (also under /templates/).

How to use

From download to running folder.

01

Download

Grab the seven .md files. One at a time, copy-paste, or curl them from /templates/ once your site is live. For a reading map, see README.md in the same folder.

02

Fill the brackets

Replace [AgentName], [Your Name], ports, models — everything is human-readable and diff-friendly.

03

Point your model

Drop the folder as system context or workspace rules. Same files power the overview on the home page.

04

Two memory layers

Use memory/[date].md for daily notes and session summaries. Promote confirmed facts to MEMORY.md — evergreen, one line per fact, supersede instead of delete.

All seven · one folder

Curl them in a loop
once you know your origin.

Replace YOUR_ORIGIN with your deployed site (e.g. https://example.com). Filenames match the templates above. 

# Download all seven into the current directory
BASE="YOUR_ORIGIN"
for n in SOUL IDENTITY AGENTS USER MEMORY HEARTBEAT TOOLS; do
  curl -fsSL "$BASE/templates/${n}.md" -o "${n}.md"
done
