I think this is what TF's Estimators are about. The idea is that they're going to reduce boilerplate on the assumption that most users of Tensorflow actually only use the same handful of models (ResNet, VGG, Inception, etc). I've been learning Tensorflow recently for a side project, and the style transfer work I'm doing means I need to build my own Tensorflow graphs, so I haven't had much use for this kind of thing. But it sounds like it was made for you, not me.
