What it does
Templates are pre-built tasks that tell Earmark how to structure your artifact. Instead of writing a task prompt from scratch, pick a template that matches your goal (run a meeting, send an update, shape a feature, or assess risk) and get a polished artifact in seconds.Why it matters
Good tasks produce good artifacts. Templates encode proven structures so your team gets consistent, high-quality outputs without reinventing the format every time.Where to find templates
There are two ways to access templates, both from inside the meeting view.Option 1: Templates button
The Templates button sits in the toolbar above the prompt bar. Click it to open the full template library where you can browse by category, filter by role, or search.Screenshot needed: the meeting view with the Templates button visible in the toolbar above the prompt bar. Save as
