## Overview

This repository is a Copier template, not a Robot Framework runtime library. Its main workflow is that a user runs Copier, answers the project-selection dialog, and gets a configured Robot Framework project with example tests and an installed environment. The template includes shared keyword resources and optional web, API, and extended testing capabilities. Relationships are based on the README; source excerpts do not expose the template’s rendering or resource wiring.

Main entry points: [`template`](https://github.com/flojoch/robotframework-copiertemplates/tree/master/template) (Generated project), [`copier.yml`](https://github.com/flojoch/robotframework-copiertemplates/blob/master/copier.yml) (Project options), [`template/pyproject.toml.jinja`](https://github.com/flojoch/robotframework-copiertemplates/blob/master/template/pyproject.toml.jinja) (Project metadata), [`template/README.md.jinja`](https://github.com/flojoch/robotframework-copiertemplates/blob/master/template/README.md.jinja) (Generated README)
