elementor/find-template-for-pattern ranks saved templates by keyword match against their title, their template type, and the widget types present in their content.

How it works
Template titles are unreliable. “Section 3 copy final” describes nothing, and an established library is full of them.
What is reliable is the content: a testimonial section contains testimonial widgets, a pricing table contains a pricing widget. Ranking by the widget types present finds the right template even when its title is meaningless.
That makes this the call before building something new. A site that has been designed by humans usually already contains the pattern being asked for, and reusing it produces a page consistent with the rest of the site rather than a new interpretation of the same idea.
Ranked rather than filtered, because keyword matching over unreliable titles produces approximate results and pretending otherwise would hide the good ones below a threshold.
Read-only and cheap.

Example
Ask your assistant:
Do we already have a testimonials section template?
It resolves to one call:
{
"ability": "elementor/find-template-for-pattern",
"parameters": {
"keywords": "testimonials"
}
}Worth knowing
- Matches on widget types as well as titles, which is what makes it work.
- The call to make before authoring something new.
- Ranked, not filtered — the results are approximate by design.
- Read-only.
