STK template creation process is same as any other template and it is described in the guide and on documentation website. Just read it through. Once you read the complete technical guide you should understand Magnolia pretty well and be able to create any kind of template. There is no other way of learning how to write templates then by actually trying to write it. The tutorial on the documentation website and description of various STK functionality in the guide is usually sufficient for anybody to start writing their own template. If you have already tried and failed, please come up with concrete questions about what part of writing template have you failed.
