Exporting Templates

Export your agents and skills as marketplace-compatible template manifests. Exported JSON files can be shared with other HELIX users or submitted to the marketplace.

Exporting an Agent

1. Navigate to the agent's detail page (Agents > click an agent)
2. Click the Export button in the header
3. Review the export warning (system prompt will be included)
4. Click Download JSON

The exported file contains:

• Agent name, role title, and emoji
• System prompt (with org-specific values replaced by template variables like )
• Department and board suggestions
• Execution mode configuration
• SOUL.md content (if the agent has one)
• List of assigned skill slugs
• Model preference hints

Exporting a Skill

1. Navigate to the skill's detail page (Skills > click a skill)
2. Click the Export as Template button in the header
3. Review the export warning
4. Click Download JSON

The exported file contains:

• Skill name, slug, and description
• Full skill content
• Category and tags
• Activation configuration (mode, boards, tags)

What to Review Before Sharing

Before sharing an exported template publicly:

• System prompts may contain organization-specific information, internal processes, or proprietary strategies. Review and sanitize as needed.
• Skill content may reference internal tools, URLs, or procedures. Remove sensitive information.
• SOUL.md files may contain personalized agent identity details.

The export process automatically replaces your organization name with the template variable, but you should manually review the entire manifest.

Template Variables

When an agent template is installed, these placeholders are replaced with the installing organization's values:

Variable	Replaced With
	Organization name
	Installing user's name
	Organization domain

Submitting to the Marketplace

Template submission to the public HELIX Marketplace will be available in a future update. For now, you can share exported JSON files directly with other HELIX users who can import them manually.
