Workflow: Template Seeder (Skills → Templates)

Goal: Turn a short template spec into a runnable, documented template under templates/.

This workflow is skills-first:

• Use skills as the primary execution engine
• Treat templates as “frozen outputs” (examples + regression references), not the mainline product

Input (pass paths only)

• repo_root: Ship Faster repository root (where templates/ lives)
• run_dir: runs/template-seeder/active/<run_id>/
• template_spec.md: One-page spec (what it is, target user, core pages, required integrations)

Output (persisted)

• 03-plans/template-plan.md
• 05-final/template-summary.md
• A new template directory: templates/<NNN>-<slug>/ containing:
  • README.md (5‑minute runnable)
  • .env.local.example (keys only)
  • metadata.json

Workflow

0) Initialize

1. Create run_dir.
2. Determine:
   • <slug> from spec (kebab-case)
   • <NNN> as the next available number under templates/ (001, 002, …)
3. Write 01-input/context.json for this workflow:
   • entry_type: idea
   • repo_root: <path-to-new-template-dir>
   • need_deploy: false (templates should not auto-deploy)
   • Enable only the integrations required by the spec (DB/billing/SEO)

1) Generate the template baseline (prefer clean + minimal)

Preferred path:

• Create a clean Next.js baseline in the new template directory, then run the same “Ship Faster chain” against it.

Execution order (recommended):

1. workflow-project-intake (optional if spec is already complete)
2. workflow-ship-faster with the template directory as repo_root
3. If any steps are skipped (e.g., no DB/billing), record why in 00-index.md / 05-final/template-summary.md

2) Template hardening (shareable output)

Must do:

• Remove secrets; only keep env key names in .env.local.example
• Ensure README.md includes:
  • Node version
  • install + dev
  • required env keys
  • optional integrations notes
• Ensure metadata.json is accurate and generic (no private branding unless intended)

3) Verification

At minimum (document results in 05-final/template-summary.md):

• install works
• dev starts
• build succeeds (if the template requires external credentials, document the minimal required keys)

Constraints

• Do not create a “kitchen sink” template.
• Avoid large refactors; prefer small, clean baselines that are easy to adapt.
• Never commit secrets.
