+description: Search the Crewly Marketplace for a Crewly App template (a ready-made small web app someone published, with no data) that matches what the owner needs. Run it BEFORE building a new Crewly App; if a template fits, start from it with use-app-template and adapt it instead of writing the app from scratch.

+# Find App Template
+
+**Before you build a new Crewly App, look for a template.** Someone may have
+published one that already does most of it.
+
+```bash
+bash execute.sh --query "chore chart for kids with points"
+bash execute.sh --query "class sign-up sheet" --category forms --limit 3
+bash execute.sh --query "habit tracker" --tag habits
+```
+
+Output (best match first):
+
+```json
+{"success":true,"query":"chore chart for kids","total":2,
+ "next":"Look at the best match (previewUrl). If it fits, run use-app-template tpl-… --dir ./<dir> and adapt it; tell the owner in one line which template you started from.",
+ "templates":[{"templateId":"tpl-k3m9p2x7aq","name":"Chore chart","description":"Kids' chores with points and a weekly total.",
+   "category":"family","tags":["chores","kids"],"author":"Steve","installs":12,"version":3,
+   "capabilities":[],"previewUrl":"https://apps.crewlyai.com/_t/tpl-k3m9p2x7aq"}]}
+```
+
+- Judge the match on `name`, `description` and `tags`. Opening `previewUrl`
+  shows it running with sample data (nothing is saved).
+- **A good match** → `use-app-template <templateId> --dir ./<dir>`: you get a
+  new app in this account (empty data) and its files in `<dir>`. Change what
+  the owner needs, then `publish-app --dir ./<dir> --notify`. Tell the owner in
+  one line, e.g. "I started from the Marketplace template “Chore chart” and
+  added weekly rewards."
+- **No good match** (`templates` empty, or none fits) → build it yourself with
+  `publish-app` as usual.
+- `capabilities` (e.g. `media_capture`) are not granted to the new app; ask
+  the owner for them as the publish-app skill says.
+- Options: `--query` (required), `--tag`, `--category` (`productivity`,
+  `tracker`, `checklist`, `forms`, `education`, `family`, `health`, `finance`,
+  `events`, `games`, `business`, `other`), `--limit` (1–20, default 5).

+## Marketplace templates (only the owner can publish one)
+
+A template is the app's **code** (its current version) on the Crewly
+Marketplace, so other people can copy it into their own account. It never
+carries data records, uploaded files, comments, collaborators, sharing
+settings or the owner's name or email.

+  preview link and *Publish as <author>* / *Publish anonymously* / *Don't
+  publish*. You get an `[APP TEMPLATE]` note with the answer (and the
+  Marketplace link). Do not tell anyone it is published before that note.
+- **Safety scan.** Cloud refuses (`reason: "unsafe_content"`) a bundle that
+  holds anything like an API key, token, password, private key, a URL with a
+  key in it, a real email address or phone number, or a value from the app's
+  own data (a child's name, an address). `findings` lists each `path`, `line`
+  and what it is. Remove it from the code (load it from `crewly.db` instead),
+  republish the app, then ask again. Never ask to publish an app whose purpose
+  is private to the owner.
+- `--sample-data` is a small JSON file of made-up documents the preview shows
+  (`{"chores": [{"title": "Feed the cat", "points": 1}]}`); it is scanned too and
+  is never copied into anyone's app. Without it the preview starts empty.

+name: Use App Template
+description: Start a new Crewly App from a Crewly Marketplace template (found with find-app-template). Makes a new app in this account with fresh, empty data and you as its publisher, and writes the template's files into a directory in your project so you can adapt them and republish with publish-app.

+
+1. **It makes the app now**, in this account, private, with the template's code
+   as version 1 and **no data**. Using a template counts as creating an app (the
+   account's app limit applies).
+2. **The files are in `--dir`** (a new or empty directory inside your project).
+   `dataSchema` lists the collections and fields the app uses.
+3. **Adapt it to the owner**: change texts, fields, colours, add what they asked
+   for. Then publish from the same directory — it goes to the same app:
+   `publish-app --dir ./chores --notify`.
+4. **Tell the owner in one line** which template you started from.
+5. `capabilitiesNeeded` (e.g. `media_capture`) are not granted yet: ask the
+   owner as the publish-app skill says.
+
+`--app <appId>`: the owner started an app from a template in the portal and
+handed it to you; this writes that template's files into `--dir` and makes
+`--dir` the app's source, so `publish-app --dir` updates it.
+
+Failures: `quota_exceeded` (the account has its maximum number of apps; tell
+the owner), `not_found` (the template was unlisted), `validation` (the message
+says what).
