Brigade Templates

This folder is the public index for Brigade's starter templates.

The canonical installable files live under src/brigade/templates because the Python package loads them from there. Keep edits in that package directory so brigade init and release builds install the same files people see in the repo.

Fresh Workspace Templates

These are the starter files for someone building an agent workspace from scratch:

• AGENTS.md
• CLAUDE.md
• MEMORY.md
• TOOLS.md
• USER.md
• SOUL.md
• SAFETY_RULES.md
• INSTALL_FOR_AGENTS.md
• IDENTITY.md
• HEARTBEAT.md

Run:

brigade init --depth workspace --harnesses codex

Memory Cards

Starter memory cards live in src/brigade/templates/memory/cards. They are public-safe examples and operating patterns, not this repo's live memory.

Harness Adapters

• Claude handoff template
• Codex handoff template
• OpenClaw fragments
• Hermes fragments
• Generic harness contract

Repo Baseline

Repo installs use:

• repo depth manifest
• workspace depth manifest
• pre-push hook
• content policies

Boundary

Root workspace files such as /AGENTS.md, /MEMORY.md, /TOOLS.md, /memory/cards/, .brigade/, and .claude/ are local dogfood state and intentionally ignored. Template source belongs under src/brigade/templates/.
