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.

By use case

​
By role

Templates can be filtered by role so you see the most relevant options:
  • Product Manager: strategy, PRDs, stakeholder reviews, prioritization
  • Engineering Manager: engineering specs, technical architecture, risk assessment
  • Project Manager: meeting minutes, action items, quick syncs, ticket generation

​
Special categories

  • Try Live: templates designed for real-time use during active meetings. These appear first when you’re in a live session.
  • Persona: AI takes on a specific advisory role (Strategic PM, Security Sentinel, Devil’s Advocate, etc.) and provides targeted analysis.

Custom templates

If built-in templates do not cover your workflow, create your own custom template. Custom templates let you save reusable prompts for yourself or your workspace, share them with teammates, and invoke them from the Templates picker or the / command. See Custom templates for how to create, share, and manage them.
