template

Templates are fully packaged agent workflows with connectors, mappings, prompts, and datasets. template is a compatibility surface — for new authoring, prefer skills.

Usage

machina template list                       # browse the template repository
machina template list --repo <url>          # browse a custom repository
machina template list --branch dev          # a specific branch
machina template list --json                # output as JSON
machina template install <path>             # install a template
machina template install <path> --json      # install with structured JSON output
machina template push ./my-agent            # push a local custom template

Installing a template

# 1. Browse available templates
machina template list

# 2. Install one (e.g. agent-templates/bundesliga-podcast)
machina template install agent-templates/bundesliga-podcast

This provisions cloud resources (connectors, datasets, mappings) on your project and downloads the template files (SKILL.md, workflow configs) to ./bundesliga-podcast/.

Pushing a custom template

machina template push ./my-custom-agent

This validates _install.yml (a pre-flight linter), zips and uploads to the Machina Cloud Pod, and provisions webhook endpoints and data streams.

INFO

template install … --json emits structured output designed for agent integration — useful when a coding agent drives the CLI.
