Using Topic Templates

Topic Templates accelerate consistent Topic creation by providing pre‑filled classification, scope, and instruction patterns for common domains.

When to Use a Template

Avoid templates when the domain is highly novel or legally sensitive—manual authoring ensures precise control.

Benefits

  • Curated instruction set (fewer omissions)
  • Consistent trigger phrasing & scope boundaries
  • Faster experimentation across multiple agents
  • Easier peer review (shared structure)

How to Apply a Template

  1. Open your Agent → TopicsCreate New Topic
  2. Click Add from Asset Library
  3. Browse or search keywords (e.g., search, quiz, orders)
  4. Preview template details (label, classification, scope, instructions)
  5. Click Use Template
  6. Adjust fields:
    • Ensure API name uniqueness
    • Tighten/extend scope boundaries
    • Remove irrelevant instructions
    • Add organization/compliance constraints
  7. Save the Topic
Topic Template Library

Good Practice After Import

  • Run 3 test prompts that SHOULD classify
  • Run 2 that should NOT classify (negative tests)
  • Version the template if heavily customized

Common Mistakes
