# `bird amb templates`

## Usage

```bash
bird amb templates
```

## Description

Templates carry identity and lifecycle state; their content and variables live on versions. Search and filter Bird's built-in and workspace templates one cursor page at a time. Address a template by slug or by id, and use its live version to inspect what a send will resolve.

Reads return JSON; list is paginated.
