The short version

Kept by Clip'd

This video explains how templates work in Rockbot/Grokbot: templates package a bot's instructions, memories, skills, and first-party plugins into an anonymized blueprint that other users can install into their own workspace. The creator shows the Share as template flow, what gets excluded (secrets, custom code, MCP servers), how to publish and install via a link, and gives practical tips to include setup instructions so install recipients can recreate complex workflows.
