Templates

Templates are ready-made project starters available in the Kodik Marketplace that you can install directly from the chat.

Use the /install-template command in the chat. Kodik walks you through a guided flow:

  1. Choose a location. If you have not specified an install path, Kodik asks a concise question and suggests a sensible default. Templates are installed in a new subdirectory by default rather than directly in the workspace root.
  2. Setup. Kodik creates the template files, runs safe setup commands, and explains any remaining manual steps.
  3. Summary. After finishing, Kodik briefly describes what was created and any steps you still need to complete manually.

Example usage:

/install-template Create a React + TypeScript + Vite app in a folder called my-app

You can also start the same flow from Marketplace. Open a template and click Use this template or Install with Kodik; Kodik preloads /install-template with the template’s scaffold payload. Use Download when you only want the manual setup package (marketplace-item.json plus a README) written to your workspace for inspection.

Templates and other extensions (plugins, skills, MCP servers) can be browsed in the Kodik Marketplace from inside the IDE. See Plugins & Marketplace for details.
