# Project Templates

Templates for projects that repeated across customers

Create templates for sets of tasks and milestones that make it easy to track repeatable work.

Visit the [Project Templates](https://app.usepylon.com/settings/project-templates) page to create a new project template or modify your existing templates.

Project templates contain:

* Milestones
* Tasks within milestones
* Relative due dates
* Templated task owners
* Optional AI instructions for the project and its tasks. See [Smart Projects](/pylon-docs/account-intelligence/tasks-and-projects/smart-projects.md) for more details.

## Task dependencies

Add dependencies in **Linked tasks** on a template task. Choose **blocks** or **is blocked by** and select another task in the same template. These links are copied to the corresponding tasks when you create a project from the template.

Pylon rejects a task linking to itself, duplicate or opposite-direction links, and dependencies that form a cycle.

## Creating Projects from Templates

Projects templates can be used in [Triggers](/pylon-docs/platform/triggers.md) to spin up projects automatically based on any conditions.

Or projects can be created for specific accounts manually from a template:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.usepylon.com/pylon-docs/account-intelligence/tasks-and-projects/project-templates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
