Remote Templates

Remote templates turn your agent prototype into a production-ready starter pack. A remote template is a Git repository containing your custom agent logic, dependencies, and infrastructure definitions (Terraform). The agent-starter-pack CLI uses it to generate a complete, deployable application by automatically adding production-grade boilerplate for testing and multi-target deployment (e.g., Cloud Run, Agent Engine).

🛠️ Creating Remote Templates

For developers who want to share their own templates

Package your custom agent logic, dependencies, and infrastructure into reusable templates that others can use. Perfect for sharing best practices and creating standardized agent patterns.

Quick example:

# After creating your template repository
uvx agent-starter-pack create test-agent -a https://github.com/you/your-template

Overview

Remote templates work by:

1. Fetching template repositories from Git
2. Applying intelligent defaults based on repository structure
3. Merging template files with base agent infrastructure
4. Generating complete, production-ready agent projects

Any Git repository can become a template - the system handles the complexity automatically.
