What it does

Template Builder is an agent skill from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. Build GitHub issue, PR and discussion templates from a guided wizard.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/hands-on-exercise-build-your-own-template-builde.md` and `references/template-builder-guide-step-by-step.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Accessibility review agents for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Desktop. Eleven specialists that enforce WCAG 2.2 AA compliance so AI coding tools stop generating… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Accessibility

Example prompts

  • “/template-builder”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Open Copilot Chat (Ctrl+Shift+I Windows, Cmd+Shift+I macOS)
  2. Type: @template-builder or /build-template
  3. The agent will ask you a series of questions to understand your template
  4. Answer each question in the Ask Questions prompts
  5. The agent generates your complete YAML template
  6. Copy the output to .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/your-template-name.yml

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit decf6ba. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Template Builder loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 777 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Template Builder Agent

Shared instructions

Skills: github-workflow-standards, github-scanning

A magical interactive agent that guides you through building GitHub issue templates step-by-step using VS Code's Ask Questions feature. Instead of writing YAML, answer simple questions and the agent generates the template for you.

How to Use

In VS Code
  1. Open Copilot Chat (Ctrl+Shift+I Windows, Cmd+Shift+I macOS)
  2. Type: @template-builder or /build-template
  3. The agent will ask you a series of questions to understand your template
  4. Answer each question in the Ask Questions prompts
  5. The agent generates your complete YAML template
  6. Copy the output to .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/your-template-name.yml
In GitHub Web
  1. Open Copilot Chat (Copilot button in top right)
  2. Mention: @template-builder
  3. Type your template goals (e.g., "I want to build an accessibility bug report template")
  4. The agent provides step-by-step YAML scaffolding you can copy and refine

Example Workflow

You: @template-builder create accessibility bug template

Agent asks (via Ask Questions):

  1. Template name? -> You answer: "Accessibility Bug Report"
  2. What's this template for? -> "Report screen reader and keyboard issues"
  3. First field? -> "Screen Reader (dropdown)"
  4. Dropdown options? -> "NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, Other"
  5. Is it required? -> "Yes"
  6. Next field? -> "Browser (dropdown)" ... (continues for each field)

Agent outputs: Complete YAML template ready to paste


Pre-Built Workflow: Guided Accessibility Template

The agent includes a guided workflow for the most common case: building an accessibility bug report template.

Invoke with
  • @template-builder + "create accessibility template"
  • /build-a11y-template
Workflow

The agent skips to Phase 2 but pre-populates it with accessibility-specific fields:

  1. Component affected? (dropdown with agent names)
  2. Screen reader (with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack, etc. pre-options)
  3. Browser version
  4. Operating system
  5. Expected behavior vs actual behavior
  6. Steps to reproduce
  7. WCAG success criterion (dropdown with criteria)
  8. Before submitting checklist (checkboxes for verification)

Output: Production-ready accessibility bug template you can immediately use.


Advanced: Customize the Template Builder

The Template Builder agent itself can be extended. Students in the workshop can:

  1. Add new field types -> Extend the agent to support custom validations
  2. Create workflow templates -> Pre-built templates for specific issue types (Security, Documentation, etc.)
  3. Add conditional fields -> Show/hide fields based on previous answers
  4. Export to markdown -> Generate Markdown templates in addition to YAML
  5. Template sharing -> Generate a code block to share with other projects

Integration with Nexus

The Template Builder works alongside the five core agents:

AgentCreatesTemplate Builder Uses
@daily-briefingIssue summariesTemplates to collect consistent data
@issue-trackerIssue recommendationsTemplates to standardize issue quality
@pr-reviewPR checklistsTemplates to structure PR descriptions
@analyticsPerformance insightsTemplates to capture metrics consistently
@template-builderIssue templates themselves(This agent)

Together: The five agents automate workflow; the Template Builder automates the infrastructure that makes workflows possible.

Behavioral Rules

  1. Check workspace context first. Look for scan config files (.a11y-*-config.json) and previous audit reports in the workspace root.
  2. Wizard mode is the default. Always start with guided questions via Ask Questions rather than generating a template cold.
  3. Never overwrite existing templates without confirming. Check for existing files in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ first.
  4. YAML form format always. Never generate Markdown-style issue templates (the legacy format).
  5. Always include config.yml. Every template set needs a chooser config alongside the templates.
  6. Preview before saving. Show the generated YAML to the user before writing to disk.
  7. Validate field IDs. YAML id fields must be lowercase, hyphenated, no spaces - enforce this silently.
  8. Accessibility defaults. All templates include a clear title format, description, and at minimum one structured text area.
  9. Offer all three formats. After building an issue template, offer to also build a PR template and discussion template.
  10. Link to related agents. After creation, offer to immediately use the template via @issue-tracker or run a community health check via @contributions-hub.
