# Starter Kit

> Production-ready agents, ensembles, and resources that ship with your Conductor template. You own them - modify, copy, or delete freely.

<Note>
  **Starter Kit** - Everything here ships with your template. You own the code - modify, extend, or delete as needed.
</Note>

## What's Included

When you create a new Conductor project, you get a complete starter kit of production-ready components:

| Category                              | Count | Description                             |
| ------------------------------------- | ----- | --------------------------------------- |
| [System Agents](#system-agents)       | 9     | Reusable agents for common tasks        |
| [System Ensembles](#system-ensembles) | 6     | Ready-to-deploy workflows               |
| [Built-in Agents](#built-in-agents)   | 2     | Framework-level agents (configure only) |
| [Debug Tools](#debug-tools)           | 8     | Development and testing utilities       |

<Tip>
  Looking for prompts, schemas, scripts, or templates? See [Components](/conductor/components/prompts) for documentation on creating and versioning these resources.

## Built-in Agents

<Note type="warning">
  **Built-in** - Framework-level agents. Configure only - source is not editable.
</Note>

These agents require deep platform integration (Durable Objects, Vectorize, Cloudflare AI) and are maintained by the Conductor team:

  <Card title="rag" icon="database" href="/conductor/starter-kit/built-in/rag">
    Manual RAG with Cloudflare AI & Vectorize
  </Card>

  <Card title="hitl" icon="user-check" href="/conductor/starter-kit/built-in/hitl">
    Human-in-the-loop approval workflows
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

For zero-config RAG, see [autorag](/conductor/starter-kit/autorag) (starter kit, fully managed).

## Debug Tools

Development utilities for testing and troubleshooting:

```

## Customization Philosophy

**You own everything in the starter kit.** Unlike [built-in agents](/conductor/starter-kit/built-in/overview) which are framework-level and configure-only, starter kit components are:

1. **Fully editable** - Modify the source code directly
2. **Deletable** - Remove what you don't need
3. **Copyable** - Duplicate and customize for variants
4. **Versionable** - Track changes in Git like any other code

### Example: Customizing the Redirect Agent

```yaml theme={null}
# agents/system/redirect/redirect.yaml
name: redirect
version: 1.0.0  # Bump when you modify

# Add your custom config options
config:
  schema:
    properties:
      kvBinding:
        default: MY_CUSTOM_KV  # Change the default
      slugLength:
        default: 10            # Longer slugs
```
