Template Marketplace: From Example to Production in One Click

Ordo's template marketplace ships with real-world rule examples for common business scenarios and supports loading community templates from GitHub. Browse, preview, and create a project in one click.

The Cost of Starting from Blank

Every time a team builds a new ruleset, they repeat the same work: define the input schema, figure out the branching logic, write the first test case. This groundwork looks nearly identical across scenarios — yet it gets redone from scratch every time.

The template marketplace exists to solve that: pre-package the common rule structures so you don’t start from an empty file.

What’s Included?

The built-in templates currently cover:

Financial Risk

  • Credit approval: three-factor decisioning based on credit score, debt ratio, and income level
  • Fraud detection: risk scoring from device fingerprint, IP origin, and behavioral sequences

E-Commerce Operations

  • Promotion rules: threshold discounts, percentage off, and stacking eligibility
  • Inventory routing: fulfillment strategy based on stock levels, warehouse location, and delivery SLA

API Gateway

  • Traffic routing: split traffic by request headers, user labels, or canary percentage
  • Rate limiting: per-tier QPS limits keyed by tenant level

Every template ships with a full test suite. You can run it before creating a project to confirm the behavior matches your expectations.

GitHub Template Marketplace

Beyond built-ins, Studio supports loading templates from any public GitHub repository that follows the Ordo template spec.

The flow is simple:

  1. Click From GitHub in the marketplace
  2. Enter a repo (owner/repo)
  3. Studio reads the ordo-template.json manifest at the repo root and shows available templates
  4. Preview, then create with one click

Publishing Your Own Template

To publish a template, add to your repo:

  • ordo-template.json: metadata (name, description, tags, preview image)
  • rules/: the ruleset directory
  • tests/: test case directory

Community templates can be submitted to Ordo Community Templates for listing in the built-in marketplace.

Templates and Version Tracking

Projects created from a template record the source template and version in the initial git commit. When a template releases a new version, Studio shows an update prompt in the project — you can review the diff and merge selectively, rather than overwriting everything.

Templates aren’t just copy-paste. They’re a traceable starting point.

Who Is This For?

  • Teams new to rule engines: A template gives you a working, runnable starting point more effectively than documentation alone
  • Product managers validating logic: Pick the closest template, tweak a few condition values, and see execution output immediately
  • Teams sharing rule designs internally: Publish your accumulated templates to GitHub and reuse them across projects

Get Started

Open Studio, click New Project, and choose Create from Template. If you have a template worth sharing, open a PR at GitHub.
