The ellf-template module imports and exports templates by pointing at a directory or repo link, and your coding agent asks follow-up questions when it needs decisions or resources. Exported templates include a README.md documenting required resources, plus sample data and configuration. Cross-reference links in project plans get replaced with placeholders like '@@Assets/Support Tickets@@' so they can be rebuilt on import. The docs warn to only use templates from trusted sources and review them before letting a coding agent run code. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I export an Ellf project as a reusable template? Use the ellf-template command, for example by telling your coding agent to export a project as a template to a directory and include sample data. Ellf generates a README.md documenting tasks, actions, assets, and configuration needed, plus folders for plans, assets, config, and custom recipe packages, so the project can later be imported automatically or manually. _Developers packaging agentic workflows for reuse can track tools like Ellf's template system on daily.dev._ ### How does Ellf handle cross-reference links in project plans when exporting a template? Ellf replaces cross-reference links to platform resources, such as assets or jobs, with placeholders like '@@Assets/Support Tickets@@' instead of the original UUIDs, since those UUIDs might not be valid when the template is reused. When importing the template, Ellf uploads and sets up all resources in the new project and then updates the placeholders so the links work correctly. _Anyone building portable project templates with embedded resource links can follow this pattern via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Three layers, one repo: a tour of google/adk-recipes](https://daily.dev/posts/three-layers-one-repo-a-tour-of-google-adk-recipes-uf5pvwb4r) · Google Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [How to Write and Implement Agent Skills](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-write-and-implement-agent-skills-yukid2ea2) · DigitalOcean Community · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [I.
