⚡️ Instant Boilerplate for Python Projects ⚡️

Fast, easy and reliable project generator for your Python projects.

Getting Started  •  Usage  •  How to: Custom Projects  •  AI Agent Harness

Instant Python replaces extensive manual setup with a simple command to get started quickly. Its motivation is to emulate commands like `ng new` or `create-react-app`, but for Python projects.

Why use Instant Python? Generating your Python project with Instant Python lets you:

  • ⏱️ Slash folder & config setup time to seconds
  • 🐍 Instantly install & switch between any Python version
  • 🔧 Effortlessly configure your favorite project manager
  • 📁 Kickstart with ready-made or fully custom project structures
  • 🔄 Initialize a Git repo in just a few clicks
  • 📦 Auto-install all your go-to dependencies
  • 🚀 Ship with production-ready boilerplates out of the box
  • 🤖 Include a complete AI agent setup for assisted development

✨ NEW ✨ Create Fully Customized Projects

Take full control of your project generation! With custom templates, you can:

  • 🎨 Design your own project structure that matches your architectural patterns (like Hexagonal Architecture)
  • 📝 Create reusable file templates with your standardized code and best practices
  • 🔄 Enforce consistency across all your Python projects
  • ⚡ Eliminate repetitive boilerplate and setup tasks

Whether you have a standardized project structure you always use or specific architectural patterns you want to enforce, custom templates let you generate projects exactly the way you want them. Learn how to create your first custom template and level up your project generation workflow!

🤖 AI Agents Setup

Generate projects with a pre-configured AI agent environment to assist your development workflow. When you include the ai_agents built-in feature, your project comes with:

  • AGENTS.md — Project rules and guidelines that configure AI agents to follow your coding standards
  • Skills — Reusable instruction sets for common tasks: code review, refactoring, story splitting, test analysis, and more
  • Commands — On-demand workflows for recurring operations: committing changes, running security reviews, analyzing technical debt
  • Architecture Decision Records (ADR) — Templates to document and track technical decisions
  • Design Docs — Templates to capture feature requirements and implementation plans

All generated under docs/ and .agents/ directories, ready to use with any AI coding assistant that supports agent configuration. See all available skills and commands.
