Create or improve a complete Runpod template project from an application request, local code, or GitHub repository, with a documented Dockerfile and app-specific files for Pods or queue/load-balanced Serverless. Use runpod-templates for finding or operating existing official templates, runpod-mcp/runpodctl to register an already-built image as a template, flash for its code-first workflow, and companion-clis for standalone image build/push commands.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Build a Runpod template project Deliver the files the application needs, plus an exact deployment handoff. Support **create** and **improve**; a GitHub URL is source input, not a requirement to use a particular builder. Preserve the user's project conventions and requested behavior. For a multi-step task, first match the [worked examples](../runpod/golden-paths/README.md), especially [project authoring](../runpod/golden-paths/26-template-project/README.md). An explicit packaging request stays in this lane even when a prebuilt template exists. Registering an already-built image as a Runpod template uses the infrastructure lanes through the [router](../runpod/SKILL.md), without authoring another Dockerfile. ## Choose the contract, then author Inspect the source before asking the user to choose architecture. Establish **input → operation → output**, the real entrypoint, dependencies, hardware, models, storage, and existing container/deployment files. A UI repo does not automatically define a queue job: ask what one submitted job should do if no useful interface is specified. Read [project authoring](reference/project-authoring.md) for inspection and the output contract. …

How to install
mdr add runpod/runpod-plugins-official/runpod-build-template@sha256:51da77315a265dccThe line at the top of this page pins the label "1.8.0" # x-release-please-version, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
