Build-time budget template in short
Included when you apply it
Applying this template creates the 1 board below — with every list — and pre-loads 3 sample issues, all yours to edit. The automation rules further down are suggestions you can wire up next; they aren't created for you yet.
A preview of how this template lays out — the boards, their custom workflow states, and where the sample issues land. WIP caps show a badge.
Build budget
Cut the monorepo typecheck from 6m to under 2m
Budget: 2m. Long pole is the project-references graph.
Cache the Docker base layers in CI
Parallelise the e2e shards across 4 runners
These rules aren't created when you apply the template — they're recipes you can wire up in Settings → Automations once your board exists.
