# Create System Template Child

`POST /v1/admin/system-templates/{parent_id}/children`

Create a child template that inherits from a system-org parent.

Body:
  - name (required, string, must be distinct from parent's name)
  - description (optional, string)

The new child:
  - inherits prompt / goals / outputs / language / phases from the parent
    (via the runtime resolver — nothing is copied at creation time)
  - starts with empty `settings.skills` (admin adds extras after creation)
  - status='draft' (admin publishes when ready)
  - org_id = SYSTEM_ORG_ID (matches parent's org by definition)

Single-level invariant: parent must itself be a standalone template
(parent.parent_template_id IS NULL). If the request targets a child as a
parent, returns 400.

## Path parameters

- `parent_id` string, required
