Publishing templates is open to accounts in the Expert Program. Experts get a free sandbox with no agent limit, which is where templates are built.
The workflow
1
Build the agent in your sandbox
Make it actually work: the prompt, the skills, the schedule, the connectors. Run it on real data until it is good.
2
Create a draft
Board toolbar, My templates, then New. The title becomes the public URL and cannot be changed afterwards, so treat it as the product name.
3
Write the page
Tagline, description, category, gallery, FAQ and search snippet. This is the page someone reads before installing.
4
Capture the agents
The capture wizard archives them into the template. Review what it will ship before you confirm.
5
Answer the setup question
Does this agent need to be configured after install? A template cannot be submitted until you have answered.
6
Submit
The Rerun team reviews it and publishes it.
What the capture ships
Captured by default:- the agent prompt
- its skills and their reference files
- its scheduled tasks and webhook triggers
- the connectors it declares, as declarations only
- its workspace files
- its memories
- its credential folders and
.envvalues - its private database
- the sign-ins behind its MCP servers
The install script
Every template answers one question: does this agent need to be configured after install? If it does, you write the install instructions. They are addressed to the agent, not to the user: the agent reads them and walks its new owner through the setup in the chat. A good install script tells the agent to:- introduce itself in one line
- check which connectors it already has
- suggest the ones that are missing, rather than asking for keys in the chat
- ask for the values only the owner can give
- write down what it learned
- run one small test on real data
- declare the install complete
Writing the page
Submission
Submitting freezes the template: still private, no longer editable. It checks for a title, a tagline, a description, at least one image, at least one captured agent, and for a paid template a Stripe account that can receive payouts. It tells you what is missing rather than half-submitting. Withdraw takes it back to a draft while it is in review. Once published, the page is maintained by Rerun.Doing it from your editor
The whole workflow is available over the API, fromcreate_template to submit_template, including the capture dry run. It is the fastest way to iterate on the copy without leaving your editor.
