Templates

Auro templates constrain AI behavior toward better outcomes. They prevent premature implementation, force clarity markers, structure thinking through checklists, and enforce test-first discipline.

TemplateUsed ByPurpose
Charter Template/auro.charterStructure feature charters
Plan Template/auro.planStructure implementation plans
Tasks Template/auro.tasksStructure task breakdowns
Constitution Template/auro.constitutionStructure project principles
Checklist Template/auro.checklistStructure validation checklists
Agent File Template/auro.planStructure agent guidance files
Architecture & Build Template/auro.planDefine deployment topology and runtime profile

Without templates, AI agents produce inconsistent output. One charter might have acceptance criteria, another might not. One plan might include a data model, another might skip it.

Templates make the output predictable. Every charter has the same sections. Every plan has the same structure. Every task list follows the same format. This means you can review artifacts quickly because you know where to look.

Templates live in .auro/templates/ and can be customized per project.
