Template System

What is a Template?

A template defines the type, default structure, and available modules for a Node. Every workspace node is created from a template.

System Templates

Verstak ships with these built-in (system) templates:

ID	Type	Default Modules	Default Files	Default Folders
folder.default	folder	overview, children, activity	—	—
project.default	project	overview, notes, files, activity, actions, worklog	Overview.md	Documents, Notes, Files
client.default	client	overview, notes, files, activity, actions	Overview.md	Notes, Files
document.default	document	overview, files, activity	—	—
recipe.default	recipe	overview, notes, files, activity	Overview.md	—

Template Structure

{
  "id": "project.default",
  "title": "Проект",
  "type": "project",
  "enabled": true,
  "system": true,
  "icon": "project",
  "default_modules": ["overview", "notes", "files", "activity", "actions", "worklog"],
  "default_files": [
    {"path": "Overview.md", "content_template": "project_overview"}
  ],
  "default_folders": ["Documents", "Notes", "Files"],
  "allowed_parent_types": ["folder", "root"],
  "allowed_child_templates": ["*"]
}

How Templates Drive the UI

1. The creation menu is built from enabled templates.
2. When you right-click a node, you see "Create inside" → [list of enabled templates].
3. Selecting a template creates a Node with that template's type and defaults.
4. Disabling a template removes it from the creation menu.
