## AgentCore Templates Rendering This directory contains the **rendering logic** for template processing. Template **assets** live in the `assets/` directory at the repository root. The rendering logic is rooted in the `AgentEnvSpec` and must ALWAYS respect the configuration in the Spec. Tags defined in `agentcore.json` flow through to deployed CloudFormation resources. ### Rendering Pipeline 1. `createRenderer()` selects a renderer based on framework/language 2. `BaseRenderer.render()` copies and renders the framework base template 3. If `hasMemory`, capability templates are layered on top 4. If `buildType === 'Container'`, the container templates (`Dockerfile`, `.dockerignore`) from `assets/container/<language>/` are copied into the agent directory ### LLM Context Files `schema-assets.ts` imports llm-compacted TypeScript files that are embedded at build time via the esbuild text-loader plugin. `CDKRenderer.writeLlmContext()` writes these to `agentcore/.llm-context/` during project initialization. ## Guidance for template changes - Always make sure the templates are as close to working code as possible - AVOID as much as possible using any conditionals within the templates ## How to use the code in this directory - `index.ts` exports a `createRenderer` method that consumes an `AgentEnvSpec` - This method picks the appropriate renderer; the caller only needs to call the `render` method - `templateRoot.ts` exports `getTemplatePath` and `TEMPLATE_ROOT` to locate assets
