Skill Templates

Templates are pre-configured skills you can install with a single click. They are the fastest way to get value from alice -- connect Stripe, install a template, and run it from Slack in under a minute.

Browsing the Gallery

Navigate to Dashboard > Skills > Templates to open the template gallery. The gallery shows all 22 templates as cards in a grid layout.

Category Tabs

Filter templates by category using the tabs at the top of the gallery:

Click a category tab to filter the gallery. Click "All" to show everything.

Template Cards

Each template card displays:

• Name -- The skill name (e.g., "MRR Snapshot", "Churn Risk")
• Description -- A one-line summary of what the skill queries
• Slug -- The command you will use: /alice <slug>
• Popular badge -- A small badge on the most commonly installed templates (MRR Snapshot, Churn Rate, Churn Risk, Failed Payments, Expiring Trials, Daily Digest)
• Plan badge -- Shows the minimum plan required (Free for most, Pro for some)
• Output type pill -- Indicates the result format: Summary, List, or Table
• Cron pill -- For digest templates, shows the default schedule (e.g., "Weekdays 9am", "Mondays 9am")

Installing a Template

Standard Templates (One-Click)

For most templates, installation is a single click:

1. Find the template you want in the gallery.
2. Click the Use button on the card.
3. alice creates the skill instantly and redirects you to the skills list.
4. The skill is immediately available as /alice <slug>.

You need a connected Stripe source to install Stripe templates. If Stripe is not connected, the Use button is disabled and you will see a prompt to connect Stripe first.

Scheduled Templates (Install Modal)

Digest templates (Daily Digest, Weekly Digest) need a Slack channel to post results to. When you click Use on these templates, an install modal appears:

The modal asks for two things:

1. Slack channel -- Select from a dropdown of channels in your workspace. alice fetches the channel list from Slack. Both public and private channels are available (private channels show a lock icon).
2. Timezone -- Defaults to your browser's detected timezone. The cron schedule is interpreted in this timezone, so "9:00 AM" means 9:00 AM in your selected timezone.

Click Confirm to install. alice creates the skill with a cron trigger using the template's default schedule and your selected channel and timezone.

Customize vs Use

Each template card has two actions:

• Use -- Install the template as-is (or with the install modal for scheduled templates). Creates a working skill immediately.
• Customize -- Opens the template in the skill builder with all fields pre-populated. You can modify the query, parameters, output format, triggers, or anything else before saving.

Choose Use when the template does exactly what you need. Choose Customize when you want to adjust the query, change the output format, add parameters, or modify the schedule.

Customizing After Install

After installing a template with Use, the skill is created and ready to go. You can still customize it later:

1. Go to Dashboard > Skills and find the installed skill.
2. Click on it to open the detail view.
3. Click Edit to open the skill builder.
4. Modify any step and click Save Changes.

Common customizations include:

• Adding a schedule to a command-only template (e.g., making MRR Snapshot run every morning)
• Changing the time period (e.g., switching from "this month" to "last 30 days")
• Adding action buttons to list templates (e.g., adding "Send Slack DM" to churn risk results)
• Adjusting the output (e.g., adding or removing columns from a table template)
• Adding a monitor (e.g., alerting when failed payments exceed a threshold)
• Changing the schedule on digest templates (e.g., switching from weekday mornings to daily at 8am)

Plan Requirements

Most templates work on the Free plan. The following require a paid plan:

If you are on the Free plan, these templates appear in the gallery but the Use button shows the required plan. Upgrade from Dashboard > Settings > Billing or see Plans and Pricing.

Templates and Actions

Several templates come pre-configured with action buttons that appear on results in Slack:

Actions are available on Pro and Business plans. On the Free plan, results display without action buttons. See Actions for details on all available actions.
