Agent Templates

Pre-configured agent setups for common use cases. Apply a template to instantly get optimized SOUL.md, PERSONA.md, RULES.md, TOOLS.md, and MEMORY.md files — then customize from there.

120+ templates available

Lobstack ships with over 120 agent templates across 17 categories. Each template provides a complete set of configuration files tuned for a specific role. You can apply a template at any time without rebuilding your agent.

How Templates Work#

A template is a bundle of pre-written markdown configuration files (SOUL.md, PERSONA.md, RULES.md, TOOLS.md, MEMORY.md) designed for a specific agent role. When you apply a template, it overwrites your current config files with the template's versions. Your skills, memories, and credentials are not affected.

1

Open Configuration

Go to your Dashboard and open the Config tab.

2

Browse Templates

Click Browse Templates to see all available templates. Use the category filter or search bar to narrow results.

3

Preview & Apply

Click a template to preview its config files. When ready, click Apply Template. Your agent's behavior updates immediately — no rebuild needed.

4

Customize

Edit any config file after applying to fine-tune the template for your needs. Templates are starting points, not locked configurations.

⚠️

Templates overwrite configs

Applying a template replaces your current SOUL.md, PERSONA.md, RULES.md, TOOLS.md, and MEMORY.md files. If you have custom configs you want to keep, save them first. Skills and memories are not affected.
