Template Builder

The Template Builder is a visual editor for Chronos templates. It lets you browse your library, load a template, edit the tree, and save back to YAML via /api/template.

Layout

• Library (left) - browse items and templates, filter by type, quick search.
• Template (center) - drag and drop nodes to reorder or reparent.
• Inspector (right) - edit name, duration, ideal start/end, and dependencies.

Supported Types

• Templates: week, day, routine, subroutine, microroutine.
• Items: task, note, goal, habit, appointment, commitment, milestone, reward, alarm, reminder, inventory items, tools, and more.

Editing Rules

• Hierarchy: week > day > routine > subroutine > microroutine > items.
• Drag within the tree to reorder. Drop into a node to nest, drop near the left edge to outdent.
• Use duration minutes for sequential work, or parallel to group child durations.

Endpoints

• GET /api/template/list?type=TYPE
• GET /api/template?type=TYPE&name=NAME
• POST /api/template with YAML payload (type, name, children).

Tips

• Use the fx toggle to expand variables like @nickname in labels.
• Drag from Library to add nodes quickly.
• Use the inspector Apply button to persist edits to the selected node.
