## Templates

GET `/v1/templates` lists shared templates by name and private templates by ID. A private template is visible only to its organization. Use its returned `hourly_usd` before creating a computer.

POST `/v1/machines/{id}/template` with `{"name":"python-tools"}` turns a clonable setup computer into a private template. **This replaces the setup computer.** DELETE `/v1/templates/{id}` erases your template.

A template copies apps, files and signed-in identities on its disk. Sign out and remove secrets that should not be cloned. Protected computers cannot become templates. Saved sign-ins do not grant licensing rights to copied computers.

Startup time depends on the image and server load. A warm-template benchmark is not a general provisioning guarantee.
