# Install a template

> Start from an agent that already works instead of a blank prompt.

A template is a packaged agent setup: its prompt, its skills, its scheduled tasks, the connectors it needs and the files it works from. Installing one recreates all of that in your own workspace.

Browse them on [rerun.build/templates](https://rerun.build/templates), or from the library inside the app.

## What comes with a template

| Included                                 | Not included              |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| The agent prompt                         | Any credential or API key |
| Its skills and reference files           | The author's memories     |
| Its scheduled tasks and webhook triggers | The author's data         |
| The list of connectors it needs          | The author's connections  |
| Its workspace files                      |                           |

A template ships the shape of a working agent, never the author's account. Everything personal is stripped on the way out.

## Install one

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick it">
    From the library in the app, or from the marketplace page. A template can carry several agents that work together.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Place the agents">
    The board switches to placement mode. Tap a tile per agent. If you have no Box yet, Rerun claims one for you.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the guided setup">
    Most templates need to be connected to your own accounts, so the chat opens on a **Start installation** button instead of a message box.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The guided setup

Click **Start installation** and the agent runs its own install script. It:

* introduces itself and says what it needs
* takes stock of its connectors and offers to set up the ones that are missing
* asks you for the values only you can give, one card at a time
* writes down what it learned
* runs one small end-to-end test on real data
* tells you what you can now ask for, and when its automations next run

You answer in the chat. When it needs a credential, it opens a masked form, so nothing sensitive goes into the conversation. See [Human in the loop](/agents/human-in-the-loop).

<Note>
  The scheduled tasks and webhooks a template carries arrive switched off. They switch on when the setup completes, with their timers reset so nothing fires the second you install.
</Note>

You can **Skip** the setup and talk to the agent right away. The automations then stay off until you switch them on yourself.

## Paid templates

A template can be free, a one-time purchase, or a monthly subscription. Paid ones show the price on the card and take you through checkout before installing.

A monthly template can be cancelled. When it lapses, the agents it installed are switched off rather than deleted, exactly like [going over a plan limit](/billing#when-you-hit-a-limit).

## After the install

The agent is yours. Change its prompt, add skills, retune its schedule, switch its model. Nothing is locked, and updates to the original template do not overwrite what you changed.
