Software Templates are kind: Template entities processed by the Scaffolder. Each template has:

• template.yaml — metadata, spec.parameters (form), spec.steps (actions), spec.output
• skeleton/ — files copied/templated into the target repo (Nunjucks {% raw %} blocks where needed)
• location.yaml (repo root) — kind: Location registering all template.yaml files for catalog import

Read references/conventions.md before editing any template artifact — it encodes RHDH-specific rules that differ from generic Backstage docs.

Read references/best-practices.md when authoring or reviewing templates — it encodes Red Hat's 10 tips for repository layout, Template Editor workflow, custom fields, Nunjucks, secrets, type/tags, TechDocs, and maintenance.
