# List Templates

`GET /worker-templates`

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- ListWorkerTemplatesResponse
  - `templates` WorkerTemplateResponse[], required
    - `id` string, required
    - `organization_id` string, required
    - `name` string, required
    - `mode` 'incident' | 'alerts' | 'custom', required — The kind of channel the agent lives in — its standing mission. Drives the swappable mode block in the system prompt (and, later, the toolset). ``escalation`` and others land as localized drop-ins (their standing block + tooling) when that work begins. ``incident`` and ``alerts`` each state a mission the worker owns whatever the operator writes. ``custom`` states none: it supplies only the conduct floor the identity block forward-references, and the operator's ``custom_instruction`` is what gives the worker something to do. A channel that is neither working an incident nor triaging alert fires gets this one rather than being told it is in an incident (PRD-3766). The value is what customer-facing surfaces render, so it reads as the operator's own word for it rather than as an internal category. A member's *name* is persisted, in ``resident_agent_workflow.mode`` and ``resident_agent_template.mode`` — plain varchars with no DB-side value set — and read back through this enum, so adding a member is one deploy but removing or renaming one orphans every row holding it. It also makes a member forward-only: code that predates it raises on a row that carries it, rather than degrading. So a new member wants its read deployed everywhere before anything can write it — either landing the member ahead of the paths that create it, or gating creation while it rolls out.
    - `custom_instruction` string, nullable, required
    - `created_at` string, date-time, required
    - `updated_at` string, date-time, required
