+## Templates
+
+I've found myself copying a lot of nix files from one project to the next. I'd like to reduce the
+amount of time I spend doing this, so I'm just going to be making reusable nix flake templates. 
+These are defined in the `templates` directory and exposed in `modules/templates.nix`. They're
+separated like that for both cleanliness and to avoid funkiness with `import-tree`.
+
+You can use my templates like so (using my generic flake for example):
+
+```sh
+nix flake init -t github:jackjohn7/nixconf#generic
+```
+
+### Generic
+
+My _generic_ template is just a basic flake following the
+[dendritic pattern](https://dendrix.oeiuwq.com/Dendritic.html) based on this repository itself.
+I have also included the `boilerplate` package so that boilerplate for basic pieces can just be
+generated instead of copied, pasted, and cleaned up.
+
+If you find any bugs or want to enhance it, feel free to open a PR. I can't promise I'll accept
+your change since I use it myself but you'll still have your own fork at the end of the day for
+your own consumption.
