Templates in 📝MythOS are reusable structures for memo creation. A template defines the content skeleton, header visibility, notes, tags, and AI agent instructions that get applied when you create a new memo — manually, via 📝Slash Commands, or through AI collaboration via 📝MCP.
How It Works
Every new memo starts from a template. Your default memo template pre-fills structure, visibility, and header settings automatically. Daily journal entries use a separate default with Tasks checklist and Timeline sections. Beyond defaults, you can create custom templates for any repeating structure — project memos, reference docs, meeting notes — and share them publicly for others to clone.
Templates use {curly bracket} placeholder syntax for AI agents. When an agent creates a memo from a template, it replaces each placeholder with real content while preserving the surrounding structure. Agent instructions (agentNotes) tell the AI how to use the template — when to apply it, what voice to use, and what workflow to follow.
Key Capabilities
- Memo templates — full structures applied when creating standard memos. Define content, notes, tags, header visibility, and SEO fields
- Daily templates — journal-specific structures for daily memos with Tasks and Timeline sections
- Snippets — reusable content blocks insertable via slash commands. Excluded from AI template matching
- System defaults — two templates auto-created on onboarding (Default Memo, Default Daily Memo). Editable but not deletable
- AI agent instructions —
agentNotesand{placeholder}syntax give AI collaborators structured guidance for content creation - 📝Shared Templates — share any template publicly with a one-toggle share link and one-click clone
- 📝MythOS Template Library — platform-curated templates available to all creators via the suggested templates sidebar
- **📝MCP template tools** —

Thoughts
Templates are the infrastructure for consistent knowledge creation. Without them, every memo starts from a blank page and the AI guesses at structure. With them, the structure is a given — the human and AI both know the shape of what's being built before the first word is written. That's the difference between a note-taking app and a knowledge architecture.
