Templates are currently in beta.
Templates are the fastest way to get a working agent. Instead of configuring everything yourself, pick a template that does what you need - it comes with the right skills, settings, and personality already set up. Just add your API keys and deploy.

​
Find a Template

Browse templates in two places: Marketplace - Published templates ready to deploy. Filter by category (e.g., General) or search by name. Featured templates appear at the top. My Templates - Templates you’ve created or submitted. Create new templates by importing from a public GitHub or GitLab repo. Click any template to see what it does, what skills it includes, what secrets you’ll need to provide, and whether it includes pre-configured scheduled tasks.

​
Deploy It

Once you’ve found a template you like:
  1. Click Deploy This Agent
  2. Give your agent a name
  3. Add any secrets the template requires (usually just your LLM API key)
  4. Click Deploy
Your agent will spin up in about 30 seconds. You’ll land on its chat page, ready to go.

​
What About Secrets?

Most templates need at least an LLM provider key (like ANTHROPIC_API_KEY). Some need additional keys - a Telegram template needs your bot token, a trading template might need exchange API keys. The template page shows exactly what’s required. If you haven’t added those secrets yet, you’ll be prompted during setup. Or add them ahead of time in your secrets vault.

​
Using the CLI

pinata agents templates list                    # Browse templates
pinata agents create --template <template-id>   # Deploy one
