# Create a Workflow From a Template (https://www.shipfox.io/docs/how-to/author-workflows/create-workflow-from-template)

Description: Let your coding agent adapt a Shipfox workflow template to your repository and test it before you push.

Start from a Shipfox workflow template instead of a blank file. Your coding
agent suggests the templates that fit your integration connections and asks
one set of questions. It then adapts the template to your repository and
tests it before you commit it.

This guide is meant to be carried out by your coding agent. You start it with
one prompt, answer the agent's questions, and review what it reports.

## Before you begin [#before-you-begin]

You need:

* A coding agent [connected to the Shipfox MCP
  server](https://www.shipfox.io/docs/how-to/set-up-work/connect-mcp-client).
* A Shipfox project with the repository configured.
* An integration connection for each provider the template uses, such as GitHub or Linear.

## Start the agent [#start-the-agent]

Open your coding agent in your repository and send this prompt:

```text
Use Shipfox to create a workflow from a template.
