 - **Components instead of prose**: compiled React components live in `app/src/components/gallery/`, sandboxed ones are authored in `/admin/playground` and published with no deployment. Every call asks the server whether the component exists, is published, and is not withheld from that Bot. Data functions are granted per component.
 - **Governed MCP**: Google Drive and Notion ship in the catalogue, reached as the person asking. The catalogue carries only vendors this deployment stands behind, so adding one is a review of that vendor. Custom servers must pass URL checks; unknown tools and custom-server tools are treated as writes, and a catalogue tool the server advertises but does not name as a write classifies as a read. A Bot is told which connectors exist here and which it holds, so it says it has not been granted one rather than browsing to the vendor's website.
 - **Skills are instructions, not capabilities**: personal skills attach only to Bots their author owns, deployment skills are admin-owned, and both are invoked with `/` in the composer.
+- **A coworker as a portable file**: export a Bot to one YAML file — its role, its skills, and the connectors it asks for — and import it on another deployment. Configuration travels; capability does not: a template carries no id, no endpoint, no credential and no grant, and a document containing one fails to parse rather than being quietly stripped. What it wanted lands as a request an administrator decides on the screens that already decide it, so an imported Bot arrives cold and says so. The importer is shown every word a stranger wrote, verbatim, before any of it reaches a model. See [docs/bot-templates.md](docs/bot-templates.md).
+- **A gallery in the box, and a catalogue that grows by a push**: `examples/templates/` is copied into the image, so a deployment with no network at all opens `/agents/gallery` and finds something in it. Each file is parsed on its own, and one that does not parse is named and passed over rather than stopping a boot. Beyond that seed an administrator registers a public repository as a source, and only one the deployment's own `OPENBOT_TEMPLATE_SOURCES` names, pinned to a commit sha and fetched server-side: nothing reaches the network until somebody asks for it, and moving the pin is the only update there is.
 - **Sign in with what your company already has**: Google, Microsoft or Okta from the environment, or a company's own SAML or OpenID Connect provider registered while the deployment runs and routed by email domain. Any one turns sign-in on; several may be configured at once.
 - **Decide who gets in**: `/admin/people` lists everybody who has signed in, promotes and demotes them, and removes access, which ends the session they are using and stops the next sign-in. Every change is on the audit trail.
 - **An audit trail you can read**: `/admin/audit` lists what was permitted, what was refused and what failed, and every refusal carries the rule that caused it.

+ * something anybody can do from here: there is no rename control on this panel and the draft being

+ * must restate the template types rather than import them. That argument is about
+ * `shared/bot-template.ts`, which imports the `yaml` package at run time and would put a second

+ * WHAT IT COSTS, measured rather than assumed. `boundary.ts` also imports `evaluateActionPolicy`

+ * Rollup does NOT shake that away: the bare specifier resolves from the importing file's own

+ * or 902.73 kB to 945.49 kB gzipped.
+ * The estimate that it would tree-shake was wrong, and it is written down here so the next person
+ * does not have to rediscover it. The trade was taken deliberately — a consent screen and an
+ * administrator's screen disagreeing about the same Bot is a worse failure than 141 kB — but it is

+ * The gallery: the coworkers this deployment ships with, plus any repository an administrator pinned.
+ *
+ * WHAT IS DELIBERATELY NOT HERE, because every one of them would be a lie this screen has no way to
+ * tell the truth about. No install count, no download count, no stars, no rating. Nothing in this
+ * feature counts a template's use — there is no service to count on, by design — so any such number
+ * beside a template would be either invented or supplied by whoever wrote the template, and a number
+ * a stranger supplies about their own work while somebody decides whether to trust it is worse than
+ * no number at all. Popularity is the single strongest signal a marketplace gives, and it is the one
+ * this design refuses to fake.
+ *
+ * THE COUNTS ON THE FILTER CHIPS ARE NOT THAT NUMBER, and the difference is the whole reason they
+ * are allowed. "Sales 5" is this browser counting five cards it is holding; it says nothing about
+ * use, reaches no service, and no author can raise it except by writing a sixth template. It is a
+ * fact about the list on the screen rather than a claim about the world.
+ *
+ * WHY THERE IS NOW A SEARCH BOX. There was not, and the reason given was that a few dozen templates
+ * fit on a page and a search over them is furniture. That held while a deployment shipped three. A
+ * catalogue of two dozen and up is a different object: the question stops being "what is here" and
+ * becomes "is the thing I need here", and a page that can only be scrolled answers the second one by
+ * making somebody read every card. The filtering is over the list already in hand — no request, no
+ * server-side ranking, and so nothing that could order a stranger's template above another's.
+ *
+ * WHAT IS HERE is the author's CLAIM, the summary, the category, and the connectors the template
+ * asks for — the things that let somebody decide whether to open it. The prose a template will feed
+ * a model is not on a card; it is on the template's own page, under a heading saying whose words it
+ * is.
+ *
+ * Opening one is a search parameter, matching the roster next door: the list stays behind the panel,
+ * Back closes it, and the URL can be handed to the person who actually has to decide.

+ * an array this screen POSTs: `policyStore.set` replaces it wholesale with no version column, so a
+ * generated clause rendered inside that list would be erased by the next ordinary save — silently,
+ * and by somebody who was editing something else. Clauses an import applied therefore live in
+ * `template_boundaries` and appear in their own read-only group.
+ *
+ * What is pinned here is that the group cannot be mistaken for the editable one: no control on any
+ * row, a sentence saying why in prose rather than by a disabled button, and the clauses themselves
+ * shown verbatim so an administrator can match one against the template it came from.
+ *
+ * NO MODULE MOCKS. `mock.module` in bun is process-wide and does not come back, so mocking
+ * `@/lib/client` or the router here would change what every other file in the suite imports. The
+ * transport is stubbed at `fetch` and restored afterwards, and the router is a real one over a

+ * the fallback that calls an unrecognised type "Allowed" — so `template.import_refused`, the row an
+ * investigator opens this page to find, said the deployment had allowed the document it turned
+ * away, in the muted foreground rather than the refusal colour. That is the one wrong answer, and a
+ * trail that is confidently wrong is worse than a silent one.
+ *
+ * Rendered rather than unit-tested against a lookup table, because the fallback is the thing under
+ * test: a table that knows nothing still prints a word, and only the rendered cell shows which.
+ *
+ * NO MODULE MOCKS. `mock.module` in bun is process-wide and does not come back, so mocking
+ * `@/lib/client` here would change what every other file in the suite imports. The transport is
+ * stubbed at `fetch` and restored afterwards.
+ */

+ * Registered only when nothing else has already done it.
+ *
+ * `register()` throws outright when a DOM is installed, and bun runs the app tests in one process,
+ * so whichever browser-side file loads second used to take the whole suite down with "Happy DOM has
+ * already been globally registered" — a failure that says nothing about the code under test and
+ * moves depending on which file the runner happened to reach first.
+ */
+/*
+ * Registered with an address, and only if nothing else has registered already.
+ *

+ * base URL from `window.location.origin` when it is not given one, so the first file in the suite to
+ * pull in `@/lib/auth/client` under a bare registration throws `Invalid base URL: null` while it is
+ * still being imported — taking that file's tests with it and reporting an unhandled error rather
+ * than a failure anybody can place.
+ *
+ * It stayed hidden locally because `auth-client.test.ts` stubs a window with a real origin and, when

+ * The section order is the property worth pinning: the whole argument of this screen is that a
+ * stranger's prose comes before the capability list and the button, and an ordering is exactly the
+ * kind of thing a later refactor moves without anybody noticing. So is the pair of rules underneath
+ * it — that the prose is text rather than markup, and that an address the author typed is never an
+ * anchor.
+ *
+ * The second thing pinned here is harder to see: the CLASS NAMES on the strings a model is given.
+ * CSS does not run in this DOM, so `truncate` and a missing `break-words` are invisible to
+ * `textContent` — a test can assert a hostile title is in the document while the browser shows the
+ * reviewer half of it. Those assertions therefore read the class attribute directly, which is ugly
+ * and is the only way to catch the thing that actually went wrong.
+ *
+ * NO MODULE MOCKS. `mock.module` in bun is process-wide and does not come back, so a file that
+ * mocked `@/lib/client` or the router here would silently change what every other test file in the
+ * suite imports — which is not hypothetical: doing it broke `plugin-grants.test.ts` and would have
+ * broken `router.test.ts` on a different walk order. The transport is stubbed at `fetch`, which is
+ * restored afterwards, and the router is a real one over a memory history.
+ */
+/*
+ * Guarded, because `register` throws outright on a second call and bun walks every test file into
+ * one process. Whichever DOM test file the walk reaches first installs the window; the rest find it
+ * already there. Registering unconditionally made the second such file throw during import, which
+ * takes its whole suite with it and reports nothing.
+ */
+/*
+ * Registered with an address, and only if nothing else has registered already.
+ *
+ * Happy DOM defaults to `about:blank`, whose origin is the STRING "null". Better Auth builds its
+ * base URL from `window.location.origin` when it is not given one, so the first file in the suite to
+ * pull in `@/lib/auth/client` under a bare registration throws `Invalid base URL: null` while it is
+ * still being imported — taking that file's tests with it and reporting an unhandled error rather
+ * than a failure anybody can place.
+ *
+ * It stayed hidden locally because `auth-client.test.ts` stubs a window with a real origin and, when
+ * it happens to run first, the auth client is already constructed and cached by the time anything
+ * here renders. That is an ordering accident, not a guarantee: on CI the order differs and this is

+# Bot templates
+
+A Bot template is one YAML file describing one coworker: its identity and its prose, the skills it
+depends on, the capabilities it *asks* for, and a ceiling on what it may do. It is exported from a
+coworker's profile, sent by any means a file travels, and imported through a consent screen that
+shows the importer every word a stranger wrote before any of it reaches a model.
+
+**Configuration travels; capability does not.** A template carries no id, no endpoint, no
+credential, no MCP grant, no component source and no policy rule, because none of those are fields:
+a document containing one fails to parse rather than being quietly stripped. What the coworker
+wanted instead lands in a ledger as *requested and not granted*, and an administrator satisfies it
+afterwards on the grant screens that already exist.
+
+The vocabulary is the tenant package's, so anybody who has read [configuration.md](configuration.md)
+and `examples/fintech/` can read a template. Twenty-seven worked examples ship in
+[`examples/templates/`](../examples/templates/README.md).
+
+## What travels
+
+| Piece | Verdict | Why |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Name, title, role description | Carried | The standing role, sent with every run. |
+| `avatar_seed` | Carried | An opaque style token, never an id. |
+| Runtime kind | Carried as `managed` or `remote` | Neither `type: built_in` nor a system prompt is a field. `managed` says *this deployment*; which of the two ways of running here that becomes is this deployment's decision, not the file's. |
+| Skills: slug, title, summary, instructions | Carried | Pure text. A skill is an instruction and confers nothing. |
+| Skill tool declarations | Carried, unvalidated | Shipping refs for connectors nobody has added yet is the point. |
+| The Bot-to-skill pairing | Carried | The one grant an import makes, without which per-run narrowing never switches on. |
+| The boundary block | Carried | A closed vocabulary the author writes, compiled locally. |
+| The endpoint | Never carried, rebound | A `remote` template's address is typed by the importer and checked against *this* deployment's allowlist. A `managed` one is never asked for. |
+| The auth header *name* | Carried | A header name is not a secret; the value is typed by the importer. |
+| A credential, a key, a vault pointer | Never | No field can hold one, and the key names are refused by name. |
+| Agent id, package id, owner, visibility | Never | Minted, forced private, and owned by whoever imported it. |
+| MCP grants | **Requested only** | A grant reaches a person's own account. It is asked for, never written. |
+| Component **names** | Requested only | A name that names nothing is inert. |
+| Component **source** | Never | Component source *is* the component: executable code. |
+| MCP servers, credentials, channels, knowledge, branding, theme, model | Never | Deployment configuration, not a coworker. |
+| Audit rows | Never | A path that could write history is a way to fabricate a trail. |

+
+### Every key
+
+`openbot_template` is required and must be `1`. Any other value is refused rather than read
+leniently: a future format that means something different by the same key names must not be
+half-understood by an older deployment.
+
+| Key | Required | Limit | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `template.slug` | yes | 40 | Names the file and nothing else. |
+| `template.version` | no | 40 | The author's string. Nothing reads it; there is no update channel. |
+| `template.author` | no | 80 | A claim, rendered as one, never verified. |
+| `template.source` | no | 200 | Must be `https://` with a plain host and no credential. Rendered as text, never dialled. |
+| `template.summary` | yes | 300 | Up to three lines on a gallery card, the description heading the template's own page, and in full on the consent screen. |
+| `template.category` | no | — | One of `general`, `sales`, `marketing`, `customer-success`, `recruiting`, `operations-finance`, `product`, `engineering`, `life`. A closed list rather than free text, because the gallery groups and filters by it: a stranger's file must not be able to invent a grouping, put prose in a chip, or sort itself to the top. Absent is uncategorised. |
+| `template.license` | no | 40 | A claim like the rest of the block. |
+| `bot.name` | yes | 80 | Checked by the same helper the edit form uses, so an import can never land a Bot that screen would refuse to save. |
+| `bot.title` | yes | 120 | |
+| `bot.role_description` | yes | 1000 | Given to a model as instructions. Rendered verbatim on the consent screen. |
+| `bot.avatar_seed` | no | 40 | An opaque style token. Never an id. |
+| `bot.runtime` | yes | — | `managed` or `remote`. Only `remote` asks the importer for an address; see below. |
+| `bot.skills` | no | 25 | Slugs, every one of which this same file must define. |
+| `bot.remote` | only for `remote` | — | See below. |
+| `skills[].slug` | yes | 40 | |
+| `skills[].title` | yes | 120 | |
+| `skills[].summary` | yes | 300 | Load-bearing beyond display: it is the index the per-run skill selector reads. |
+| `skills[].instructions` | yes | 8000 | Rendered verbatim on the consent screen. |
+| `skills[].tools` | no | 40 total | `<serverId>/<toolName>`. Declarations, not grants, and deliberately not checked against anything. |
+| `requests.connectors[].id` | yes | 40 | A connector id, such as `google-drive` or `notion`. |
+| `requests.connectors[].why` | yes | 300 | Shown verbatim beside the ask. |
+| `requests.connectors[].tools[].ref` | yes | 120 | Must begin with the id it is filed under. |
+| `requests.components[].name` | yes | 80 | A component name. Naming one that is not in the build is reported, not refused. |
+| `boundary.*` | no | — | Absent means the strictest thing the vocabulary can say. |
+| `notes` | no | 4000 | For the importer. Never reaches a model. |
+
+A slug — `template.slug`, a skill slug, `avatar_seed` — is `^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,38}[a-z0-9]$`. That
+is the Skills API's rule rather than the tenant package's looser one, which admits `x` and `find-`:
+both install cleanly through a package and are then permanently uneditable through the product,
+because the API refuses to save what the package was allowed to create.
+
+The whole document is capped at 128 KiB, 25 skills, 40 tool refs and 40 requested things.
+
+### `bot.runtime`
+
+`managed` means this deployment and `remote` means somewhere else, and only `remote` asks the
+importer for an address.
+
+A deployment configured with a Bot in the box registers a `managed` coworker against it, the way the
+Coworkers screen does. A deployment with no such Bot — which is what the recommended one-container
+image is — binds the coworker in-process instead, on the `role_description` the file already
+carries. Where it runs differs between the two; what it is told does not.
+
+Asking for an address in the second case would be wrong twice over. It contradicts the template's
+own page, which says the coworker runs on this deployment: a consent screen demanding an address two
+clicks later reads the same field and disagrees with it. And the cheapest way past such a demand is
+to register a third party's endpoint in order to try a template, after which every message anybody
+sends that coworker leaves the network — the position the rest of this format is written to keep
+people out of.
+
+Nothing about what travels changes here. `type: built_in` is still not expressible, `system_prompt`
+is still refused by name, and exporting a coworker whose behaviour lives in a system prompt is still
+not a faithful round trip. `role_description` is not a second way to write one: it is the field that
+was already given to a model as the standing role, and already rendered verbatim on the consent
+screen under the sentence saying a stranger wrote it. Binding it in-process shows a model nothing it
+was not going to be shown.
+
+### `bot.remote`
+
+There is no `url` key, in any block. A remote template describes where its Bot *would* live; the
+importer types the address, and it goes through the same target checks as browser navigation, at
+registration and again on every redirect the endpoint answers with.
+
+| Key | Notes |
+| --- | --- |
+| `auth_header` | The header *name*. Not a secret, and already stored unencrypted. |
+| `requires_key` | Whether the importer will be asked for a key. A claim. |
+| `example_url` | Documentation for the person typing the address. Never dialled. |
+| `sends_conversation_to` | A plain hostname the author claims conversations go to, shown on the consent screen and compared with what was typed. |
+
+### `boundary`
+
+A closed vocabulary rather than a policy rule. A template never writes CEL, host lists compile to
+equality tests rather than to patterns, and the block can only ever say *less* than the deployment
+already allows.
+
+| Key | Values | Default when absent |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `shell` | `never`, `permitted` | `never` |
+| `files` | `none`, `read_only`, `read_write` | `none` |
+| `browser` | `none`, `read_only`, `full` | `none` |
+| `navigate_hosts` | up to 20 plain hostnames | none, which adds no host clause |
+| `mcp` | `none`, `read_only`, `read_write` | `read_only` |
+
+An author who wrote no boundary did not decide one, and the safe reading of "did not decide" is not
+"may do anything". `mcp` is the exception, and is `read_only` rather than `none`, because an MCP
+grant is refused by absence anyway.
+
+**The ceiling is enforced.** Each line of the vocabulary is compiled at import into a deny clause
+this deployment wrote, scoped to the one Bot the file arrived with: `bot.id == "<the new Bot>" &&
+(…)`. The permissive end of a key compiles to nothing at all, because a ceiling only ever subtracts
+and a stored rule saying a coworker *may* run commands would read on the Boundaries screen as though
+a stranger's file had conferred something. Host lists compile to equality tests rather than to
+patterns: a pattern function throws on something it cannot parse, a throwing expression in a deny
+list counts as a match, and a generated clause that matched everything would refuse every action the
+coworker ever attempted rather than the navigation it was about.
+
+The clauses are not written into the deployment's own action policy, and that is a storage decision
+rather than a tidy one. That policy is one row for everybody, replaced wholesale by the next
+administrator who saves the Boundaries screen with no version column in between — so a per-Bot clause
+kept there would be erased by an unrelated save and the coworker would quietly come uncaged, with
+nothing anywhere saying it had happened. They live in `template_boundaries` instead. The policy store
+composes the two lists for evaluation and for nothing else, and `/admin/boundaries` renders them in a
+read-only group, **Applied by an import**, which says in a sentence that saving that screen neither
+adds nor removes any of them. Retracting the import retires them in one act.
+
+Every clause is evaluated before the import commits, against a synthetic context and through the same
+engine that will judge it afterwards, and one that throws or answers with anything other than a
+boolean refuses the whole import rather than being stored. No Bot at all is the right outcome there:
+a coworker running looser than the screen its importer read is worse than an import that did not
+land.
+
+Two limits on all of this, both said on the consent screen and both read from the live policy. The
+ceiling only subtracts, so wherever the author left a key at its permissive end the coworker inherits
+whatever this deployment allows — which, on the shipped policy, is everything. And a deployment set
+to record what it would have refused rather than refuse it does not enforce these clauses either:
+that setting governs the whole evaluation, and they are judged by it like any other rule.
+
+## The screens
+
+Reading a stranger's template changes nothing, and the shape of these screens is where that is
+enforced rather than promised. Browsing, reading and installing are three separate URLs: the middle
+one exists so that "let me see what this is" and "I am installing this" are not the same
+gesture, and a card never opens the consent screen directly.

+
+The consent panel is the same component at both of its URLs — a slide-over rather than a route —
+and only its last button writes. An install grants nothing, so **Grant** and **Decline** live on
+the coworker's own profile against the live grant tables, never in the administrator's ledger.
+
+## Export
+
+`POST /api/agents/:agentId/template`, from **Export template** on a coworker's profile panel.
+
+It produces a **draft** the author reads and edits before it leaves the building, not a one-shot
+download. The response carries the file, its digest, and — the interesting half — a list of what was
+stripped, in sentences. The draft is stored per author and per slug.
+
+A second export of the same coworker hands back the draft that already exists, edits intact, and
+carries the file a fresh pack would have written as `repack`. The panel says the draft was already
+there and offers **Re-pack from the coworker**, which replaces the document — edits included — back
+through the draft route that re-parses and re-scans it, so bytes this server produced are trusted no
+further than a stranger's. Only a name taken by a draft for a *different* Bot answers 409, because
+only a person can decide which of the two keeps it.
+
+Exporting a package Bot is deliberately allowed. They are ownerless, public, and the most
+template-worthy things in the product.
+
+Two things refuse an export rather than warning about it. A coworker the format cannot express — a
+skill slug the API rule does not admit, prose past a ceiling — because a silently truncated
+instruction is an instruction nobody wrote. And prose carrying something shaped like a credential,
+for the harder reason: the file is about to be handed to somebody.
+
+The exported boundary is always the strictest one, whatever this Bot could do here. Nothing records
+that a coworker ever ran a shell command, and the action policy it ran under is one row for the
+whole deployment rather than a fact about that coworker — so deriving a boundary from what it was
+*allowed* would export a permissive deployment's settings as a coworker's requirements, and that
+permissiveness would travel to everyone who imported the file.
+
+| Route | Who | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `POST /api/agents/:agentId/template` | Anyone who can manage the Bot, or any signed-in person for a package Bot | Pack a coworker into a draft. |
+| `GET /api/templates` | Signed in | Your drafts; an administrator sees the deployment's. |
+| `PATCH /api/templates/:templateId` | Owner or administrator | Re-runs the parser and the secret scanner. |
+| `GET /api/templates/:templateId/file` | Owner or administrator | The file itself. |
+| `DELETE /api/templates/:templateId` | Owner or administrator | |
+
+## Import
+
+Paste the file. Nothing is written until the last button. There is no drop target and no file
+picker: the import screen is a paste box, and a gallery entry or one of your own drafts seeds that
+same box with the YAML this server serialised from the document it parsed.
+
+`POST /api/templates/preview` writes nothing and, on success, records nothing — a preview that left a
+row would make reading a stranger's file indistinguishable from installing it. It returns the parsed
+document, a digest, and a plan: which connectors exist here, which skill slugs are already taken and
+how each collision would be resolved, which named components are in this build, and where the
+coworker would run — the Bot in the box, in-process here, or an address the importer has yet to
+type.
+
+The consent screen has a fixed order, and the first section is the one that matters:
+
+1. **What this Bot is.** Name, title, avatar, and the `role_description` verbatim, unabridged, in a
+   scrollable monospace block, headed by the fact that this text is given to a model as instructions
+   and was written by a stranger. You cannot consent to text you were not shown.
+2. **Its skills.** Each with its full instructions shown the same way, and how a colliding slug will
+   be resolved.
+3. **Where it runs.** For `managed`, on this deployment: its own Bot where one is configured, and
+   in-process here where none is, in which case the role description above is the whole of what the
+   coworker is told. Neither asks for an address. For `remote`, the origin in large type and the
+   sentence that every message anyone sends this coworker is sent to that address.
+4. **What it is asking for.** Every request with the author's `why`, each tagged as not granted by
+   this install. There is no checkbox; granting is a separate act on a separate screen.
+5. **What it will be allowed to do.** The boundary in plain English, said as sentences rather than in
+   the vocabulary's words, with what this deployment does about it read from the live policy: whether
+   it refuses what it matches, and whether the deployment allows everything around it.
+6. **What this install will not do.**
+
+`POST /api/templates/install` carries the digest the preview returned, and the server recomputes it
+and answers 409 if it moved — closing the window where the file changes between the consent screen
+and the click. Every refusal is re-run server-side, and the whole install is one transaction: a
+mid-install failure leaves no orphan Bot, no orphan skill and no half-written trail.
+
+A colliding skill slug is never overwritten. The importer chooses per slug: reuse the existing skill
+if it is byte-identical, install under a suffixed slug, or skip it. Overwriting would silently take
+somebody's `/` command.
+
+An unmet request never blocks the install. Blocking would make "grant everything" the fastest route
+to a working Bot, which inverts the feature.
+
+## Afterwards
+
+The Bot arrives **cold**: private, owned by the importer, with its skills, and possibly zero MCP
+grants. It does not lie about this — a Bot's self-description is built from the tools it was actually
+offered, so a cold Bot says it has no source rather than claiming what the template promised.
+
+Its profile shows a **Requested, not granted** list, each row carrying the author's `why` and, for an
+administrator, a Grant button posting to the routes that already decide those things. Warming a Bot
+up is a series of individually audited authorizations, never a re-import.
+
+Imported skills are the importer's, with `origin: 'template'`. Grants an import made carry
+`granted_by = template:<first twelve characters of the digest>`, mirroring the tenant package's own
+sentinel, which is what makes retraction exact: `DELETE /api/templates/imports/:agentId` takes back
+only what this import gave and leaves a grant an administrator made by hand untouched. It does not
+delete the Bot or any skill. The ceiling goes with the grants, in the same act: a coworker that no
+longer holds what the template gave it is not left narrowed by what that template asked for, and the
+retired clauses stay on the trail as `template.boundary_removed` rather than disappearing.
+
+| Route | Who | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `POST /api/templates/preview` | Signed in | Writes nothing. Refusals are recorded. |
+| `POST /api/templates/install` | Signed in | 409 if the digest moved. |
+| `GET /api/templates/imports/:agentId` | Anyone who may use the Bot | The ledger. 404 rather than 403. |
+| `POST /api/templates/imports/:agentId/requests/:kind/:ref/grant` | Administrator | Acts on the ledger, never on the file. |
+| `POST …/decline` | Administrator | |
+| `DELETE /api/templates/imports/:agentId` | Owner or administrator | Retract. |
+
+Every step is on the audit trail, with both outcomes recorded: `template.exported`,
+`template.import_refused`, `bot.created`, `template.imported`,
+`template.capability_requested`, `template.capability_granted`, `template.capability_declined`,
+`template.boundary_applied`, `template.boundary_removed`, `template.retracted`. Never the prose,
+never a key.
+
+## The refusals
+
+The parser reads the file as bytes before it reads it as a document, and refuses rather than
+sanitising. Each refusal names itself.
+
+| Reason | What it means |
+| --- | --- |
+| `format_version` | `openbot_template` is not `1`. |
+| `unknown_key` | A key at any level that is not part of the format. |
+| `forbidden_field` | A key named for a credential, an endpoint, a package id, an owner, a visibility, a system prompt or a policy rule. Named separately so the author is told *why*, not just that it is unknown. |
+| `interpolation` | The two characters that open an environment reference, anywhere in the document, comments included. |
+| `invisible_character` | A format character, private-use codepoint, bidi control, zero-width or tag character. |
+| `too_large`, `too_many`, `too_long` | A ceiling above. |
+| `bad_slug`, `bad_tool_ref`, `bad_hostname`, `bad_url` | A shape rule above. |
+| `unknown_skill` | `bot.skills` names a skill the file does not define. |
+| `missing_field`, `bad_type`, `malformed_yaml` | The document does not have the shape it claims. |
+
+Unknown keys are refused here where a tenant package ignores them, and that difference is deliberate.
+An operator's own directory carrying a stale key from an older version should not stop a deployment
+booting. A stranger's file is the other case: an ignored key is a key the reviewer's eye slid over
+and the parser agreed to.
+
+The environment-reference refusal is the sharpest divergence from the tenant package, which expands
+`${...}` textually out of the server's own environment. In a package that is how one file serves a
+laptop, a staging stack and production. In a stranger's file it is an exfiltration primitive: a role
+description naming the deployment's key-encryption key would be expanded, stored, shown to a model
+and readable afterwards. There is no allowlist of names and no escaping.
+
+## Security posture
+
+| Attack | Defense |
+| --- | --- |
+| A template exfiltrates the importing deployment's secrets through prose | The environment-reference sequence is a parse refusal, checked against the raw bytes. |
+| A template ships a working credential | No field can hold one, and the key names are refused by name, so such a file fails loudly rather than being quietly stripped. Export scans for secret shapes too. |
+| A template points users' conversations at the author's server | The format has no `url` field. Unrepresentable rather than gated. |
+| A template hides a payload from the consent screen | Invisible codepoints are refused. A review control that can be made invisible is not a control. |
+| A template pre-seeds an MCP grant that goes live when an admin adds the connector | The import has no code path that writes an MCP grant. |
+| A template overwrites somebody's `/` command | An import never installs onto a slug that is taken. |
+| A template ships executable component code | Component source is not a key, in any phase. |
+| Auto-update turns one bad template into mass compromise | There is no update channel. Re-importing creates a separate Bot, and an installed Bot no longer refers to its template. |
+| Prompt injection in the prose steers the Bot | Only partly closed. Nothing evaluates prose; the firewall is at the tool call. What is closed: the invisible-character refusal, verbatim unabridged rendering, an importer-owned private Bot, and the compiled per-Bot boundary, which is this deployment's own rules rather than the author's. |
+| Publisher compromise, typosquatting | Not defended, and not defensible without identity infrastructure. `template.author` is a claim. For a file somebody hands you, the model is that you read it. |
+
+Under `OPENBOT_SINGLE_USER` every authorization gate here is vacuous, because everyone is the
+administrator. The refusals are identical: there is no relaxation for a laptop, because the
+single-user flag is what a laptop and a carelessly-exposed VM have in common.
+
+## Where templates come from
+
+Three ways, and none of them is a service OpenBot runs.
+
+1. **A file somebody sends you.** Slack, a gist, a pull request comment. Import is a paste box, and
+   this needs no infrastructure at all.
+2. **The seed in the image.** [`examples/templates/`](../examples/templates/README.md) ships
+   twenty-seven worked templates, copied into the container, so a deployment with no network has
+   something to start from. Its README carries the rules a new one is reviewed against.
+3. **A curated repository**, `jerelvelarde/awesome-openbot-templates`: `*.openbot.yaml` files an
+   administrator registers as a source, pinned to a commit sha and fetched server-side, so the
+   browser never acquires a third-party origin and the source never sees an end user's address.
+   Nothing is fetched unless an administrator registers a source.
+
+Moving a pin is the only update mechanism, it is a deliberate act, and it changes nothing already
+installed. That is what makes the absence of an update channel safe rather than merely cheap.
+
+The second and third are the catalogue: what `/agents/gallery` lists, and what `/admin/templates`
+configures. A gallery entry is a stranger's file that arrived by a different road, so opening one
+runs the preview and the install through every refusal a paste goes through. There is no search, no
+install count and no rating: there is nothing to count, and a count is a thing to forge.
+
+### The directory in the image
+
+`OPENBOT_TEMPLATE_DIR` names it, defaulting to `../examples/templates` and resolved from `server/`
+exactly as `TENANT_PACKAGE_DIR` is. The `Dockerfile` copies `examples/` into the image, so this is
+populated on a deployment that has no network at all and never registers a source.
+
+Every `.yaml` and `.yml` file in it is measured before it is read and parsed on its own. **A file
+that does not parse is passed over, named, and logged as `template-skipped` with the parser's own
+refusal reason, and the rest of the directory still loads.** That is the one deliberate divergence
+from the tenant package loader, which lets a malformed `agents.yaml` stop the process before it
+serves. A package is one operator's own configuration and a deployment running half of it is worse
+than one that did not come up; a template directory is many authors' files, and one person's typo
+must not stop somebody else's deployment booting. It is the judgement the package sync already makes
+for a colliding skill slug: name what was passed over, and keep going.
+
+Two files claiming one slug is the same case — first taker keeps the name, the second is passed over
+as `duplicate_slug` — because the alternative makes what a gallery shows depend on the order a
+directory happened to come back in. A directory that is not there at all is an empty gallery with a
+skip naming it, never a refusal to start.
+
+A skip is data as well as a log line. Every listing carries what it could not read alongside what it
+could, so the gallery can say "three templates, one skipped" rather than leaving somebody to notice
+an absence.
+
+### A pinned git source
+
+The catalogue beyond the seed is `jerelvelarde/awesome-openbot-templates`, a public repository of
+`*.openbot.yaml` files curated on its own cadence. An administrator registers it on
+`/admin/templates` as `owner/repo` **pinned to a full 40-character commit sha**.
+
+**Nothing is fetched from the network unless an administrator has registered a source**, and two
+things have to be true before one can be. The repository must be named in `OPENBOT_TEMPLATE_SOURCES`,
+a comma-separated allowlist that **ships empty** and that the screen renders but cannot widen — the
+`INITIAL_ADMIN_EMAILS` shape, where the deployment's configuration decides and the product shows the
+decision. And the registration must carry a commit, not a branch or a tag: `main` is a name whoever
+owns that repository can repoint after an administrator has read the files, which is exactly the
+mechanism behind the supply-chain compromises this format has no version of. Handles are lowercased
+by the same function on both sides, so the allowlist cannot be evaded by capitalising a letter.
+
+The reason for the allowlist is that a self-hosted product which reaches a third party on first boot
+because its vendor shipped a default has made that decision on its operator's behalf. This one does
+not.
+
+Fetching is server-side, always, from `raw.githubusercontent.com` at the pinned sha. A gallery
+rendered from the browser would give everybody looking at it a third-party origin they did not
+choose, and would show the source each viewer's address.
+
+`raw.githubusercontent.com` serves one file at a time and cannot list a directory, so a source says
+what it holds in a manifest at `openbot-templates.json`, an object with a `templates` array of paths.
+A source that publishes no manifest holds nothing, rather than this deployment falling back to
+something looser. The caps are numbers this deployment chose rather than ones the source did: 200
+files, 4 MiB across a listing, 64 KiB of manifest and 200 characters of path. A breached cap or a
+manifest that is not one refuses the whole listing, because a manifest read only as far as the cap
+would drop files silently and let the source decide which survived. A single file that cannot be
+fetched, names a path that is not a plain relative path to a YAML file inside the repository, or does
+not parse is skipped and named, exactly as in the directory.
+
+A listing is cached under `owner/repo@sha`. That is sound precisely because a sha names one immutable
+tree: moving the pin produces a different key rather than an invalidation somebody has to remember to
+perform, and it is the only way the contents a deployment sees ever change.
+
+### Who may install
+
+`OPENBOT_TEMPLATE_INSTALLERS` is `anyone` or `admin`, and `anyone` is the default. Everything an
+install writes — the Bot, its skills, and the grants that pair the two — is what `POST /api/agents`,
+`POST /api/plugins/skills` and `POST /api/plugins/grants` already permit the same person one act at a
+time. There is no fourth call, so requiring an administrator would be a ceremony around acts that
+person can already perform.
+
+A deployment that wants the ceremony anyway sets the variable, and what it sets is a **floor**: the
+screen may raise the setting to `admin` and may never lower it back. An operator who wrote
+`OPENBOT_TEMPLATE_INSTALLERS=admin` into their configuration has to be able to rely on it holding,
+and a restriction any administrator can click away is one that will be clicked away by whoever finds
+it inconvenient. Where the floor is in force the control is rendered disabled, saying where it came
+from, as an administrator named in `INITIAL_ADMIN_EMAILS` is.
+
+### The gallery, and installing out of it
+
+The gallery is the directory first and then each registered source in turn, with a slug going to
+whoever offered it first and every later claim listed as skipped beside the name of what already
+holds it. A source that cannot be read at all — a refusal, a timeout, a proxy answering with
+something that is not a response — is reported the same way rather than emptying the screen: a
+deployment's own in-box templates do not vanish because a third party is having a bad morning.
+
+Installing from the gallery posts a slug and the digest that was shown, and **the document comes
+back out of the catalogue on the server** rather than off the wire. Trusting a posted document would
+make "this came from the gallery" a thing anybody could write into the provenance row that an
+administrator later reads when deciding whether a coworker came from somewhere this deployment
+vouches for. The digest still has to match, so a source that moved between the consent screen and
+the button is a 409 exactly as an edited paste is.

+# The templates that ship in the box
+
+A Bot template is one YAML file describing one coworker: its identity and its prose, the skills it
+depends on, the capabilities it *asks* for, and a ceiling on what it may do. It carries no id, no
+endpoint, no credential and no grant. See [docs/bot-templates.md](../../docs/bot-templates.md) for
+the format.
+
+There are 27 of them, across the 9 kinds of work a category may name. The `Dockerfile`
+copies `examples/` into the image, so they travel with a deployment that has no network at all and
+can be imported by opening one and pasting it in. They are also the worked examples: a template
+somebody writes by hand is read against these.
+
+The set is deliberately varied rather than uniform — some ask for no connectors at all, four run
+remote, one buys exactly a single write — so that it demonstrates the boundary vocabulary instead of
+repeating one shape 27 times. What each one is really carrying is a rule about judgement: what it
+must not conclude, and what it says when the evidence is thin.
+
+They are deliberately **written rather than exported**. Neither `type: built_in` nor `system_prompt`
+is a field, so exporting one of the shipped fintech Bots drops the prompt that is the whole of its
+behaviour, which is not a faithful round trip. A written template puts that behaviour in
+`role_description`, which does travel — and which a deployment with no Bot in the box hands the
+coworker as its standing instruction, so the twenty-three here that say `runtime: managed` ask the
+importer for no address at all. The first catalogue entries have to be written, and that is what
+these are.
+
+| File | Category | What it is for |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `account-health.openbot.yaml` | customer-success | Reads one account's own record and says what the evidence supports about its health, naming what is missing rather than filling it in. Gives no score. |
+| `account-research.openbot.yaml` | sales | Prepares one company before a meeting from what they publish and what we already recorded, and keeps the two apart so nobody repeats a claim back as a fact. |
+| `beta-adoption.openbot.yaml` | product | Says which accounts have actually used a feature in the beta, against the roster of who was let in, and keeps "did not use" apart from "not measured". |
+| `campaign-brief.openbot.yaml` | marketing | Turns a request for a campaign into a brief somebody can build from, and marks what nobody has answered as an open question rather than filling it in. |
+| `chief-of-staff.openbot.yaml` | general | Keeps a written record of what people said they would do, and says what has slipped without chasing anybody. |
+| `claims-desk.openbot.yaml` | marketing | Checks every factual claim in a marketing draft against a document we can name, and refuses to approve, rewrite or treat our own earlier copy as evidence. |
+| `competitor-watch.openbot.yaml` | marketing | Watches a fixed list of competitor pages, says what actually changed since last week, and refuses to dress a change up as a conclusion. |
+| `escalation-watch.openbot.yaml` | customer-success | Watches open threads for a commitment that has been missed, and drafts the handover for a person to send. Escalates nothing itself. |
+| `expense-review.openbot.yaml` | operations-finance | Reads one expense claim against the policy as it is written, quotes the clause that applies, and leaves the decision to a person. |
+| `feedback-digest.openbot.yaml` | product | Groups what customers actually said into themes, keeps every theme attached to the sentences that produced it, and never promotes a suggestion into a commitment. |
+| `inbox-first-pass.openbot.yaml` | life | Reads a morning's messages where they already live and says which few need you today. Answers none of them. |
+| `interview-notes.openbot.yaml` | recruiting | Turns what an interviewer says into a written record: the question, the answer and what was observed, kept apart from what was concluded. Asks for nothing. |
+| `invoice-chaser.openbot.yaml` | operations-finance | Works out which invoices are actually overdue, drafts the follow-up a person sends, and can hold the weekly chase to a schedule. |
+| `meeting-follow-ups.openbot.yaml` | general | Turns one set of meeting notes into the follow-ups actually in them, each with the line it came from, and leaves the unowned ones unowned. |
+| `onboarding-buddy.openbot.yaml` | recruiting | Answers a new starter's questions from the written handbook, quotes the passage, and books the first fortnight's check-ins. Hands anything with a legal edge to a person. |
+| `oncall-handover.openbot.yaml` | engineering | Writes the handover one on-call shift leaves the next: what fired, what is still open, and what the log does not say. |
+| `outbound-desk.openbot.yaml` | sales | Reads what we already know about an account and drafts a first-touch note for a person to send. Never sends anything, and never invents a reason to write. |
+| `paid-media-desk.openbot.yaml` | marketing | Reports what paid spend did over a stated window, from an agent your own team runs, and refuses to explain a movement or recommend a budget. |
+| `product-performance.openbot.yaml` | product | Answers questions about how the product is doing through your own metrics service, and names the definition and the window behind every number it gives. |
+| `release-notes.openbot.yaml` | engineering | Turns a list of merged changes into release notes a customer can read, and counts the ones with no visible effect rather than dressing them up. |
+| `renewal-prep.openbot.yaml` | customer-success | Assembles the pack for a renewal conversation and refuses to write the ask. Runs on a service you host yourself, so the whole conversation leaves this deployment. |
+| `renewal-watch.openbot.yaml` | sales | Reads renewal dates and notice periods off the contract, lists what is coming, and refuses to turn a quiet account into a risk score. |
+| `repro-desk.openbot.yaml` | engineering | Follows a bug report step by step on a site you name, says whether it reproduces, and does not diagnose it. |
+| `research-desk.openbot.yaml` | general | Reads around a question and writes a short brief that names every source it used. |
+| `talent-scout.openbot.yaml` | recruiting | Reads a role's written requirements, then finds published evidence against each one and gives the address it was read on. Does not rank people and contacts nobody. |
+| `ticket-triage.openbot.yaml` | customer-success | Reads an incoming ticket, works out what it actually is, and hands a person a draft reply and a reason. Never answers the customer itself. |
+| `vendor-review.openbot.yaml` | operations-finance | Assembles what is actually known before a renewal — the terms we signed, what we spent, and what the vendor publishes today — and recommends nothing. |
+
+## Review rules
+
+A file here is installed by strangers on deployments nobody in this repository can see, and it
+arrives carrying this project's name. What follows is what a reviewer checks, in the order it is
+worth checking.
+
+1. **`bun scripts/check-bot-templates.ts` passes.** It parses every file with the same
+   `parseBotTemplate` the server runs at preview and again at install, so the refusals — the
+   environment-reference sequence, invisible codepoints, unknown keys, credential and endpoint key
+   names, the size ceilings, the slug rule — are all asserted by it rather than by eye. It also
+   checks the three things a parser cannot know: that the file is named after the template inside
+   it, that the ask and the skills' declarations are the same set of tools, and that no skill slug
+   collides with one `examples/*/skills.yaml` already seeds at every boot.
+
+2. **Read every word of the prose out loud.** `role_description` and every `instructions` block are
+   given to a model as instructions, and a reviewer skimming them is the only thing standing between
+   an author and everybody who installs this. A sentence that would embarrass the project in a
+   transcript is a review comment.
+
+3. **The boundary is argued, not copied.** Each of `shell`, `files`, `browser`, `navigate_hosts` and
+   `mcp` starts at the strictest thing the vocabulary can say. Anything wider than
+   `shell: never`, `files: none`, `browser: none`, `mcp: read_only` needs a comment in the file
+   saying which part of the job needs it — and the comment has to name a job, not a convenience. A
+   template whose boundary is the same as the last one's, on a Bot that does a different job, has
+   not been thought about.
+
+4. **Every `why` is written for the person deciding.** These strings are rendered verbatim on the
+   consent screen next to a grant somebody is about to make or refuse. "Needed for the integration"
+   is not a reason. Name what the Bot does with the tool.
+
+5. **The Bot is honest about what it will not do.** Where a Bot drafts rather than sends, decides
+   rather than acts, or records rather than concludes, that has to be in `role_description` as well
+   as in the skill — the role is what survives when the per-run selector loads a different skill.
+
+6. **No host that is not a placeholder or genuinely public.** `navigate_hosts` in a shipped template
+   names hosts an importer edits, so use `example.com`-style placeholders and say so in `notes`. A
+   real customer's hostname in this directory is a leak, not a default.
+
+7. **Nothing is a grant.** `requests:` is an ask. If a template appears to hand its Bot a
+   capability, that is a bug in the format and not a feature of the file — say so on the pull
+   request rather than working around it.
+
+## Adding one
+
+Write the file, name it `<template.slug>.openbot.yaml`, and run:
+
+```sh
+bun scripts/check-bot-templates.ts
+```
+
+CI runs the same command in the `static` job, so a file that does not parse fails the pull request
+rather than somebody else's import — where the refusal is correct, arrives at the worst possible
+moment, and is the author's mistake being reported to a stranger.
+
+Nothing downstream fails loudly either, which is the other half of why the check matters. The
+gallery reads this directory a file at a time: one that does not parse is logged as
+`template-skipped` with the parser's own reason and passed over, and every other file still loads.
+That is deliberate, because one author's typo must not stop somebody else's deployment booting —
+but it means the consequence of shipping a broken file is a template that is quietly not in the
+gallery, which nobody goes looking for. The check is where that becomes something a person sees.
+The same is true of a second file claiming a slug another one here already uses: the first keeps
+the name and the second is passed over, so name the file after the template inside it and the check
+will hold you to it.
+
+The wider catalogue is not this directory. Templates beyond the seed belong in
+`jerelvelarde/awesome-openbot-templates`, curated on its own cadence; this directory stays small
+enough that a reviewer can hold all of it in their head. A file there is held to the list above and
+to this same script, vendored there as an Action so the two cannot drift. Two things differ. A
+deployment reads that repository through a manifest at `openbot-templates.json` and reads nothing
+else, so a template added without being named in it is invisible — generate the manifest from the
+directory rather than keeping it by hand. And a deployment is pinned to a commit, so a fix lands
+for somebody only when an administrator moves their pin.

+    it is kept, take the usage from the export, and match them: an account in one and not the other
+    is a finding, not a rounding error. Keep three answers apart and never collapse them into two —
+    used it, did not use it, and was never measured. One session is not adoption, so give how many
+    accounts did the thing and how many times, and let the reader decide what counts. Every count
+    carries the date its export was taken, because an export is a photograph and yesterday's is not
+    today's. Never give a percentage without the number it is out of. Do not say a beta is going
+    well or badly, and do not name an account as a success story or a problem.

+  Until both are granted, the Bot says which half it is missing and stops. That is the intended
+  behaviour. Half a reconciliation reported as a whole one is the specific mistake this coworker

+  rather than refused, and the brief still writes — it just reads as text.

+    single sign-on" is not yours to write. Keep a customer's words as their words rather than tidying

+
+      A theme needs at least two messages from two different accounts. One account saying something
+      twice is one account, and it belongs in the list of single reports rather than being promoted
+      into a trend. Name each theme in the customers' own words where you can — "it logs me out"
+      beats "session reliability", and the second one is already halfway to a solution nobody chose.
+
+      Give the account count and the message count for every theme, in that order.
+
+      Report what you could not place, and how much of it there is. A pile of unclassifiable
+      feedback is a real result, and a digest where everything landed neatly in five themes is one

+
+      Do not correct spelling, trim a sentence to its useful half, or translate a complaint into the
+      language your team uses for it. If a quotation needs surrounding context to be fair, give the
+      context as your own sentence, plainly marked, next to the words rather than inside them.
+
+      Where a message only partly belongs to the theme, say which part and leave the rest visible.
+      Where you find that a theme rests on fewer accounts than you reported, say so immediately and

+
+      No recommendations. No priorities. No "customers are telling us that". Nothing in this digest

+  and edit the tool refs on the first two skills — a ref that matches nothing loads nothing, so a
+  half-edited template is inert rather than wrong.
+
+  Until Notion is granted, the Bot says it has no feedback to read and stops. It will not digest what
+  somebody pasted into the conversation as though it were the period's feedback, because a digest of
+  an unknown sample is exactly the artefact that gets quoted in a planning meeting.
+

+
+      Say that something was removed and under which heading, and stop there. Do not describe it, do
+      not hint at it, and do not write anything from which a reader could reconstruct it. A note
+      saying "a comment about family circumstances was removed" is a note about the process; a note
+      saying which comment defeats the whole exercise.
+
+      Two things are not covered by this and should stay. A candidate's stated availability or notice
+      period is a fact about the job. A requirement they raised themselves, such as an adjustment
+      they asked for, belongs to whoever handles that — say it was raised and route it to a person,
+      rather than deleting it or writing it into the assessment.

+
+  That is deliberate rather than unfinished. Interview notes are among the most sensitive things a
+  company writes about a person who does not work there, and a coworker that could also read the rest
+  of the hiring system is a much larger decision than one that writes up what it was told.
+
+  If you do want the notes filed automatically, that is a second decision and a local one: add the
+  connector under Admin, add the tool refs to `write-up-an-interview`, and ask for them here with a
+  reason, so whoever grants it is reading your sentence rather than ours.
+
+  Check what your own jurisdiction requires of interview records before relying on this. The rules in

+    summary: Turn one release's list of changes into the notes, in three sections and no superlatives.
+    instructions: >-
+      Work from the list in front of you. Every line of the notes has to trace back to an entry in
+      it, and a change you cannot describe in terms of what somebody can now do is one to ask about
+      rather than one to phrase around.
+
+      Three sections, in this order. NEW: what a person can do that they could not do before, from
+      their side of the screen. FIXED: what used to go wrong, described as they experienced it and
+      not as the code did — "the export stopped at five hundred rows", not "off-by-one in the
+      paginator". CHANGED: anything a habit or an integration will notice, including anything
+      somebody must do before upgrading, and only where the change itself says so.
+
+      Close with one line counting the changes with no visible effect. Do not describe them and do
+      not drop them silently either: the count is what tells a reader the list was longer than the
+      notes.
+
+      Two things you never write. A version number or a date that is not in front of you, and a
+      superlative. If the release is small the notes are short, and short honest notes are the ones
+      people keep reading.

+      about it, and read it rather than answering from its title.
+
+      Say what the document claims the change does for a person, and quote the sentence you took
+      that from. Where the document describes something wider than what shipped, say which part you
+      are describing: a specification is what somebody intended, and release notes are about what
+      arrived.
+
+      Where you find nothing, say so and say what you searched for. A change with no document
+      behind it is written up from the change itself, in fewer words. It is never padded out from
+      what its title sounds like it should have done.

+      carries.
+
+      Follow what you find rather than improving on it. Where the previous notes disagree with each
+      other, follow the most recent and say that you did, so the person publishing can overrule you
+      in one sentence.
+
+      Do not copy an entry forward. A line that appeared last time and appears again is either a
+      change that shipped twice or a mistake, and both are worth telling whoever is publishing.

+  Until an administrator grants Drive and Notion, this Bot says it cannot find last release's notes
+  or the documents behind the changes, and asks you to paste the change list into the conversation.
+  That is enough for a first draft and is how it is worth trying before granting anything.
+
+  `draft-the-notes` deliberately declares no tools. It is the skill that must work from the list it
+  was given, and giving it a way to go looking is how a release note about a change nobody shipped
+  gets written.
+
+  If your specifications live somewhere other than Drive and Notion, add that MCP server under Admin
+  and edit the refs on the two skills to name it. A ref that matches nothing loads nothing, so a
+  half-edited template is inert rather than wrong.

+      pressed, the message that appeared, the field that would not take the value. What you
+      expected is not a result.
+
+      Stop at the first step you cannot take, and say why. Do not skip it, do not substitute a step
+      that seems equivalent, and do not sign in, pay for anything or send a message that would
+      reach a real person in order to get past it. Those are the moments to hand it back.
+
+      If you reach the end and the reported behaviour did not happen, that is a finding rather than
+      a failure. Say what happened instead, and name the step where your account and the reporter's
+      diverge.

+      Only narrow something you have already reproduced. Narrowing a report you could not reproduce
+      produces a shorter recipe for nothing.
+
+      Remove one step, run the whole thing again, and keep the removal only if the failure still
+      happens. Put it back if it does not. Say how many times you ran each version: a failure seen
+      once is reported as seen once, and one that comes and goes is reported as intermittent rather
+      than as reproduced.
+
+      Report the shortest sequence that still fails and, beside it, the steps you took out, so
+      somebody who disagrees can put them back. If the failure stops happening before you have
+      removed anything, say that the report as written does not reproduce today and stop there.

+
+      WHAT THE REPORT SAID WOULD HAPPEN: quoted from the report rather than paraphrased.
+
+      OUTCOME: REPRODUCED, NOT REPRODUCED or BLOCKED, with the address you were on and the time you
+      tried.
+
+      Then say what you could not see. Working through a browser you cannot see a log, a database
+      row or a build number unless the page shows it, and saying so stops somebody reading your

+  Do not put a production host in the list. `browser: full` means this Bot presses buttons, and what

+  If your tickets are in Zendesk, Jira or Linear, add that MCP server under Admin, then edit the
+  tool refs on the three skills to name it — a ref that matches nothing loads nothing, so a
+  half-edited template is inert rather than wrong.
+
+  Read `draft-a-first-reply` before you use this. It is the skill that decides this Bot drafts
+  rather than replies, and that decision is prose, not a permission: widening the boundary or

+    from. Where the contract is silent — no notice period, no price protection, no way out — say it
+    is silent rather than filling the gap with what is usual. Anything you read on the vendor's own
+    site is dated: give the page and the day you read it. Do not recommend renewing, cancelling or
+    renegotiating, do not call a price high or a vendor risky, and do not estimate a saving. Somebody
+    whose decision this is will read you, and a summary that has already decided is one they cannot
+    check.

+      them. An amendment is the usual reason a renewal goes wrong: the term everybody remembers is
+      in the original and was replaced two years ago.
+
+      Report five things, each with the clause quoted and the document named. WHEN IT RENEWS. HOW IT
+      RENEWS — automatically or not. HOW MUCH NOTICE, and by what date that means notice has to be
+      given. WHAT THE PRICE MAY DO, including any cap on an increase. HOW IT ENDS, including
+      anything owed on the way out.
+
+      Where the contract does not answer one of the five, write that it does not answer it. That
+      sentence is the most valuable one you can produce here, and it is the one a model is most
+      tempted to replace with a reasonable-sounding default. Where two documents answer differently,
+      give both, name each, and say which is later.

+      Find the spend records — the invoices, the ledger export, or whichever page the finance team
+      keeps — and add up what was actually paid to this vendor. Read them; do not answer from the
+      contract, because what was signed and what was billed are different numbers and the gap is the
+      interesting part.
+
+      Give the total, the period it covers, and the records you added. If the period is partial, say
+      so rather than annualising it. If the currency changed, or a line is a credit, or one invoice
+      covers two vendors, say that instead of quietly resolving it.
+
+      Where the billed total and the contracted price differ, report the difference as a difference.
+      Do not describe it as an overcharge, and do not work out who is at fault. You are putting two
+      numbers next to each other for somebody who can go and ask.

+    summary: Read the vendor's own public pages — price, plans, status history — and date what you read.
+    instructions: >-
+      Read only the pages this Bot is allowed to reach. Open the vendor's pricing or plans page and
+      their status or incident history, read what is there today, and quote it.
+
+      Everything from this skill carries the page it came from and the date you read it, in the same
+      sentence as the fact. A published price has no version number and changes without an
+      announcement, so an undated quotation is a claim about the past that reads as a claim about
+      now.
+
+      Put what they publish next to what we signed only where the two are about the same thing, and
+      say plainly when they are not comparable — a list price against a negotiated one is not a
+      saving or an overpayment, it is two different numbers.
+
+      Do not sign in, do not fill in a form, do not request a quote, and do not start a trial. You
+      are reading what a vendor puts in public, and that is the whole of it.

+  # makes that a boundary rather than an instruction it could be talked out of.

+notes: >-
+  Edit `boundary.navigate_hosts` before you use this, and edit it per vendor. The three hosts shipped
+  are placeholders. The list is what this Bot may read, compiled as an equality test rather than a
+  pattern, so adding a vendor means adding their hosts here rather than naming them in a message.
+
+  This Bot deliberately produces no recommendation. If you want one, ask a person for it after
+  reading what this assembles — the instructions are written so that a renew-or-cancel answer is out
+  of scope, and widening the boundary will not produce one.
+
+  Until Drive and Notion are granted it says it has no contract and no spend records and stops. That
+  is the correct behaviour: a renewal review from memory is how a notice period gets missed.

+ * A template is the one file in this repository that is *written to be given to somebody else's
+ * deployment*, so it is the one file whose mistakes are not the author's to notice. Nothing else in
+ * the build reads these: they are data copied into the image, so a broken one compiles, ships, and
+ * is refused for the first time on a stranger's machine at the moment they try to install it. This
+ * runs in CI so the refusal happens here instead, where somebody is looking.
+ *
+ * The hostile-input refusals are NOT repeated here. The environment-reference sequence, the
+ * invisible codepoints, the size ceilings and the endpoint and credential key names are all refused
+ * by `parseBotTemplate`, against the raw bytes, before it looks at the document — so calling the
+ * parser is what asserts them, and asserting them a second time in this file would create a second
+ * copy to drift from. The same function runs at preview and again at install; that is the point of
+ * it being pure.
+ *
+ * What is left for this script is everything the parser deliberately cannot know, because nothing in
+ * `shared/bot-template.ts` reads the disk: whether the file is named after the template inside it,
+ * whether the ask on the consent screen is the same set of tools the skills actually declare, and
+ * whether a skill slug is one the tenant package already seeds. That last one is not hypothetical.
+ * `TENANT_PACKAGE_DIR` defaults to `../examples/fintech`, whose `skills.yaml` is seeded at every
+ * boot as ownerless deployment skills, so a flagship template reusing one of those slugs would
+ * collide on a stock install — and collision resolution is first-taker-keeps, which means the

+ * administrator who saves an unrelated change — a lost update that silently uncages an imported Bot
+ * with nothing anywhere saying it happened. The clauses live in `template_boundaries`, an import
+ * writes them and a retraction retires them, and this file composes the two lists for evaluation and

+ * The author's ceiling, turned into rules this deployment wrote.
+ *
+ * A TEMPLATE NEVER WRITES CEL. The `boundary:` block is a closed vocabulary of four keys and a list
+ * of hostnames, and this file is the only thing that turns any of it into an expression. That
+ * asymmetry is the whole security argument for shipping a per-Bot ceiling that a stranger's file gets
+ * to influence: a stranger chooses between `read_only` and `full`, and a program here decides what
+ * either of those means in the language the policy engine actually evaluates. If a template could
+ * carry an expression instead, importing one would be handing somebody else's text to `evaluate`,
+ * and every refusal in `shared/bot-template.ts` would be decoration around an open door.
+ *
+ * The clauses go in `template_boundaries` and are read as extra `deny` entries for one Bot. They are
+ * NOT written into the deployment's `action_policy`, which is one row for everybody: a template may
+ * only subtract, only for its own Bot, and only through a table an administrator can retract in one
+ * act.
+ *
+ * EVERY CLAUSE IS SCOPED FIRST AND SCOPED BY THE BOT. `bot.id == "<agentId>" && (…)` is not merely
+ * tidy. cel-js short-circuits `&&`, so for every other Bot in the deployment the tail of the clause
+ * is never evaluated — and the tail is the part that names `intent`, an identifier cel-js throws on
+ * when it is unbound. A throw in a deny list counts as a match, by design, so an unscoped clause that
+ * threw would refuse an action for every Bot in the deployment rather than for the one the template
+ * described. Putting the scope first turns a blast radius of "the whole deployment" into "the
+ * imported Bot", which is the difference between a ceiling and an outage. Any future clause shape
+ * must keep the scope as the leading conjunct for exactly this reason.
+ *
+ * The named Bot itself can still meet a throw: `gateway.ts` spreads `intent` in only when `intentOf`
+ * recognised the tool, so a tool with no intent mapping leaves the identifier unbound and every
+ * clause here throws for that Bot and refuses that action. That is the direction to fail in. A Bot
+ * whose file said `shell: never` should not get a shell because somebody added a tool the intent

+ * The two places a deployment finds templates nobody here wrote: the directory shipped in the image,
+ * and a git repository an administrator pinned.
+ *
+ * NOTHING IS FETCHED FROM THE NETWORK UNLESS AN ADMINISTRATOR HAS REGISTERED A SOURCE, and that is
+ * the property this file exists to keep rather than a preference. A self-hosted product that reaches
+ * a third party on first boot because the vendor shipped a default has made that decision for its
+ * operator. `OPENBOT_TEMPLATE_SOURCES` ships empty, the registry starts empty, and a deployment with
+ * no network at all still opens the gallery and finds the in-box directory in it.
+ *
+ * PER-FILE ISOLATION, WHICH IS THE ONE DELIBERATE DIVERGENCE FROM THE PACKAGE LOADER. A malformed
+ * `agents.yaml` kills the process before it serves, because `loadTenantPackage` runs in an unguarded
+ * top-level await in `index.ts`, and that is right: a tenant package is an operator's own
+ * configuration and a deployment running half of it is worse than one that did not come up. A
+ * directory of many authors' files is the opposite case. One person's typo must not stop somebody
+ * else's deployment booting, so every file is parsed on its own and a failure is logged with the
+ * filename and the reason and skipped. This is the same judgement `synchronizeTenantPackage` already
+ * makes for a colliding skill slug: name what was passed over, keep going.
+ *
+ * A SKIP IS DATA, not only a log line. Every listing carries the files it could not read alongside
+ * the ones it could, so an administrator looking at the gallery can be shown "three templates, one
+ * skipped" rather than being left to infer an absence. A file that silently vanishes from a
+ * catalogue reads as a file that was never there.
+ *
+ * WHAT THIS FILE DOES NOT DO. It never installs anything and never writes a grant. The one thing it
+ * does write is `template_sources`, which is the administrator's list of pinned repositories and
+ * nothing else — no document, no capability, nothing an install reads. That row exists because a
+ * registration held only in memory disappeared at the next restart with nothing saying so; see the
+ * comment on `registry` below. What this file hands onwards is a parsed document and its digest, to
+ * the resolver and the installer, and that is the same document a paste would have produced — a
+ * gallery entry is a stranger's file that happened to arrive by a different road, and it goes
+ * through every refusal that road already has.

+/**
+ * Turning a template somebody consented to into an ordinary Bot, in one act.
+ *
+ * ONE TRANSACTION IS THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS FILE. An import is a Bot, its skills, the grants that
+ * pair them, a provenance row and a ledger — five writes across three stores — and either all of
+ * them happened or none did. Without that, a failure partway leaves an orphan Bot holding half a
+ * skill set, the person presses import again, and the deployment now has two coworkers with the same
+ * name and no way to tell which one is the wreckage. `pluginStore.installSkill` and
+ * `pluginStore.grant` take the executor for exactly this, and the profile store is built over the
+ * transaction rather than the pool for the same reason.
+ *
+ * CONFIGURATION TRAVELS; CAPABILITY DOES NOT. There is no code path here that writes a
+ * `plugin_grants` row with kind `mcp` — not a conditional one, not one behind a flag. The one grant
+ * an import makes is the Bot-to-skill pairing, which is what switches per-run narrowing on and
+ * confers nothing by itself. Everything else a template asked for lands in `template_requests` as an
+ * ask, and is satisfied later by an administrator on a screen that already refuses. `store.grant`
+ * performs no existence check and `listServers` computes `withdrawn` only for servers that exist, so
+ * an optimistic grant for an absent connector would be invisible on every screen and would go live
+ * the day somebody added that connector, with nobody deciding.
+ *
+ * NOTHING THE CLIENT PARSED IS TRUSTED. The document is serialised and parsed again here, so the
+ * refusals that ran at preview run again at install; the digest is recomputed and a move is refused,
+ * which closes the window where a gallery file or a pasted buffer changes between the screen a
+ * person read and the button they pressed; and the plan is resolved again on this transaction rather
+ * than taken from the preview, because a preview is a screen somebody read and not evidence about
+ * the database a second later.

+ * A configured coworker, packed into a template somebody else can read.

+ * The judgement in this file is almost entirely about what does NOT come out the other side. A Bot on
+ * a running deployment is a row with an id that decides which routes it answers on, an owner, a
+ * visibility, an address, and a credential id naming a vault row that exists on this machine and
+ * nowhere else. Every one of those is a fact about the deployment it was packed from rather than
+ * about the coworker, so none of them travel, and the format has no field that could carry them
+ * anyway: a template that named a host or a credential would fail to parse rather than be quietly
+ * redacted.
+ *
+ * The stripping is REPORTED rather than performed quietly. `PackResult.stripped` is the interesting
+ * half of an export — an author about to send this file to a stranger should be told in sentences
+ * that the endpoint and the key reference were left behind, because otherwise the first thing they
+ * learn about it is that the imported Bot does not work and they cannot tell why.
+ *
+ * Nothing here reads the database, the environment or the network. Packing is a pure function of a
+ * profile and its attachments, so every refusal can be tested as one, and the same secret scanner
+ * runs again on a draft an author has since edited by hand.

+/**
+ * The HTTP surface for templates: authoring a draft, reading a stranger's file, and installing it.
+ *
+ * THIS FILE DECIDES ALMOST NOTHING. The parser refuses a document, the packer refuses a coworker it
+ * cannot express, the resolver reports what this deployment can satisfy and the installer writes the
+ * one transaction. What is left here is the part that is genuinely the API's: who may ask, what an
+ * error becomes on the wire, and which refusals reach the trail. Everything else is delegated, and
+ * deliberately so — a route that re-implemented one of those rules would be a second copy of it that
+ * drifts.
+ *
+ * ONE RULE THIS FILE DOES OWN, and it is the whole feature's: satisfying a capability goes through
+ * the grant stores that already refuse. The grant route below acts on the LEDGER and hands the
+ * decision to `pluginStore.grant` or `componentStore.grant`; it never re-reads the document, so the
+ * artifact a person consented to cannot change what is being approved a week later, and there is no
+ * second grant path with a second set of checks.
+ *
+ * WHICH MEANS THIS FILE HOLDS THE ONLY `grant("mcp", …)` UNDER `server/src/templates/`, and anybody
+ * writing the grep test that guards the import path has to know that. The property is about the
+ * IMPORT: `install.ts` has no code path that writes an MCP grant, not a conditional one and not one
+ * behind a flag, because `store.grant` performs no existence check and an optimistic row for an
+ * absent connector would be invisible on every screen and would go live the day somebody added that
+ * connector, with nobody deciding. The call in `decide` below is the opposite of that in every
+ * respect: it is behind `requireAdmin`, it acts on a ledger row a person already consented to, it
+ * names a tool this file has just read out of `mcp_servers` and `mcp_tools`, and it is exactly the
+ * act the grant screen performs. Scope the grep to the import path rather than to the directory, or
+ * it will forbid the thing the feature is for.
+ *
+ * "IT NAMES A TOOL THAT EXISTS" USED TO BE A CLAIM RATHER THAN A CHECK, and that is the bug this
+ * file was carrying. The only guard was that the ref contained a slash, so a ledger row recorded
+ * `unavailable` — the row whose consent screen said "Nothing will be granted and nothing will be
+ * written" and whose caption on the Bot's profile says there is nothing yet to grant — was one
+ * administrator click away from a live `plugin_grants` row for a connector this deployment does not
+ * have. Two guards now stand where the claim did, and both are needed: the ledger's own status,
+ * because a person was told that ask was inert and connecting a server with that id afterwards is
+ * not their consent; and a fresh read of the two tables, because the status is a snapshot from
+ * resolve time and a connector can leave the deployment the day after an import.

+/**
+ * The ceiling an imported Bot arrives with, from the file that described it to the action it stops.
+ *
+ * Three properties, and none of them are visible from a green typecheck.
+ *
+ * IT IS ENFORCED, which is the only reason to compile a boundary at all. A template that said
+ * `shell: never` has to produce a refusal at the gateway, on the Bot it named and on no other. The
+ * per-Bot half is the part that fails quietly if it is wrong: an unscoped clause would refuse the
+ * whole deployment, and a clause scoped to the wrong Bot would refuse nothing while the trail said
+ * the ceiling was applied.
+ *
+ * IT SURVIVES AN ADMINISTRATOR'S SAVE. `policyStore.set` replaces the whole `deny` array and the
+ * Boundaries screen posts back a snapshot of what it last read, with no version column in between.
+ * A generated clause stored in `action_policy.deny` would therefore be erased by the next unrelated
+ * save on that screen — an imported Bot silently uncaged, with nothing anywhere saying it happened.
+ * Separate storage is what makes that unrepresentable, so this file drives the real route rather
+ * than asserting on the store it trusts.
+ *
+ * IT STOPS WHEN THE IMPORT IS RETRACTED, and only then. A ceiling that outlived its retraction would
+ * be a coworker refused actions its owner has just been told it may take again.

+/**
+ * The gallery and the administrator's half of the template surface, over the real catalogue and the
+ * real database.
+ *
+ * TWO PROPERTIES ARE WHAT THIS FILE IS FOR, and everything else in it is scaffolding around them.
+ *
+ * The first is that an install `from: "gallery"` reads the document out of the CATALOGUE and never
+ * out of the request. A posted document would make the provenance column a claim the browser gets
+ * to write, and that column is what an administrator reads on the Templates screen when deciding
+ * whether a coworker came from somewhere this deployment vouches for. The test that proves it posts
+ * one document and names another, and asserts the one that was named is the one that arrived.
+ *
+ * The second is the round trip the gallery flow silently depends on. The consent screen previews the
+ * YAML this surface serialises, so the digest it is shown is taken over `parse(serialize(document))`
+ * — while the install compares against the digest the catalogue computed over its own parse of the
+ * file on disk. If serialising were lossy the two would differ and every gallery install would 409
+ * with nothing wrong. It is asserted for each shipped template rather than reasoned about.
+ *
+ * The catalogue is the REAL one over `examples/templates`, not a fixture. A stub would have agreed
+ * with whatever this file claimed about how a slug resolves, and the shipped templates are exactly
+ * the documents a fresh deployment's first import comes from.

+/**
+ * A registered template source outlives the process that registered it.
+ *
+ * THE BUG THIS FILE EXISTS FOR. The catalogue kept its registrations in a `Map` and nothing wrote
+ * them anywhere. An administrator pinned `owner/repo` to a sha, the deployment restarted, and every
+ * source was gone — the gallery quietly narrowed to the templates baked into the image, and
+ * `GET /api/admin/templates/settings` answered `sources: []` on a deployment where one had been
+ * registered minutes earlier. Nothing had failed, so nothing said anything.
+ *
+ * A RESTART IS SPELLED AS A SECOND CATALOGUE over the same database. That is the whole trick of this
+ * file: `createTemplateCatalogue` holds every registration in the closure it just built, so a fresh
+ * one whose only connection to the first is `template_sources` is exactly what the next boot has. A
+ * test that re-used the first catalogue would prove that a `Map` remembers what was put in it.
+ *
+ * The database is real rather than a stub. What is being asserted is that a row is written, read
+ * back and deleted, which is precisely the part a stub would agree with regardless.

+/**
+ * The Bot template format: one file describing one coworker.
+ *
+ * Configuration travels; capability does not. A template carries a coworker's identity and its
+ * prose, the skills it depends on, the capabilities it *asks* for, and a ceiling on what it may do.
+ * It carries no id, no endpoint URL, no credential, no MCP grant, no component source and no policy
+ * rule, because none of those are fields here — a document containing one fails to parse rather than
+ * being quietly stripped, so an author who tried to ship a key is told, and a reviewer reading the
+ * file is not reading a redacted copy of something larger.
+ *
+ * The vocabulary is deliberately the tenant package's (`role_description`, `avatar_seed`, and a
+ * skill's `slug`/`title`/`summary`/`instructions`/`tools`), so anybody who has read
+ * `examples/fintech/` can read a template. It diverges on three points, and each is a security
+ * decision rather than a preference:
+ *
+ *   1. STRICT PARSING. `validateTenantPackage` reads the keys it knows and ignores the rest, which is
+ *      right for an operator's own directory: a stale key from an older product version should not
+ *      stop a deployment booting. It is wrong for a stranger's file, where an ignored key is a key
+ *      the reviewer's eye slid over and the parser agreed to. Here an unrecognised key anywhere is a
+ *      refusal naming it.
+ *
+ *   2. NO ENVIRONMENT INTERPOLATION, AT ALL. `expandEnvironment` substitutes textually, before the
+ *      YAML is parsed, out of the server's own environment. In a package that is how one file serves
+ *      a laptop, a staging stack and production. In a stranger's file it is an exfiltration
+ *      primitive: a `role_description` naming the deployment's key-encryption key or computer token
+ *      would be expanded, stored, shown to a model and readable afterwards. There is no allowlist of
+ *      variable names and no escaping — the opening sequence is refused wherever it appears, and it
+ *      is checked against the raw bytes rather than the parsed document, so a comment cannot carry
+ *      it either.
+ *
+ *   3. THE API'S SLUG RULE, not the package's. The package's admits `x` and `find-`, both of which
+ *      install cleanly and are then permanently uneditable through the product, because the Skills
+ *      API refuses to save what the package was allowed to create.
+ *
+ * Nothing in this file reads the database, the environment or the network. It is the whole of what a
+ * template *is*, so the refusals can be tested as pure functions and the same parse runs at preview
+ * and again at install.
