## Guidance for AI assistants

Treat this document and its linked OpenAPI contract as the source of truth for **POST /api/v1/create-template**.

- Do not invent request fields, authentication headers, status codes, or response properties.
- Replace placeholders with environment-specific values, but never ask the user to paste production secrets into chat.
- Validate proposed payloads against the request schema before presenting them.
- Explain which values are required and identify assumptions clearly.
- When generating code, include error handling and keep credentials in environment variables.
- Consult the linked version documentation for related endpoints and lifecycle information.
