App templates

What you get

• Starters in TypeScript, Python and Go
• Sign-in, roles and public pages wired up
• A database table with migrations
• A scheduled job, a workflow and an approval step
• A webhook handler that ignores repeats
• Error tracking and structured logs

How it works

whisk init --template ts, py or go writes a complete, working app into the folder. TypeScript uses Hono and Drizzle, Python uses FastAPI, SQLAlchemy and Alembic, and Go uses chi, pgx and goose. Each is under 300 lines and passes whisk doctor with no warnings.

Each template stores data in PostgreSQL and runs its jobs and workflows with the Inngest SDK. The three have the same routes and functions, and Whisk runs them every night as a check on the platform itself.

The templates are open source under the MIT licence, with the CLI and the agent skill. They run on a laptop with local development.

Example

A surveying firm wants a tool for booking out field equipment. The coding agent starts from the Python template, so sign-in, the database and a nightly job are already in place. It adds the booking screens and an overdue reminder.

For your coding agent

whisk init --template py
whisk dev --as <email>
whisk deploy

The conventions each template follows are in the agent instructions.
