Wick

Build internal tools and AI agents in Go — or just download and run Claude / Codex / Gemini as a Slack + Telegram + web agent host. No copy-pasting. You own the code.

Two ways to use wick:

---

1. Run AI Agents — no Go, no framework

Want Claude / Codex / Gemini as a Slack bot, Telegram bot, or web assistant? Just download the binary.

# Linux / macOS
curl -L https://github.com/yogasw/wick/releases/latest/download/wick-linux-amd64 -o wick
chmod +x wick
./wick setup    # first-boot: generates credentials + SQLite DB
./wick server   # web UI at http://localhost:9425

# Docker — single-container: HTTP + cron in one process
docker run -d \
  -p 9425:9425 \
  -v wick-data:/root/.wick \
  ghcr.io/yogasw/wick:latest all

The binary supports two modes — pick one:

Mode	Command	Best for
System tray	./wick (no args)	Desktop — right-click menu, icon shows state, auto-start on login
Headless	./wick server	Remote server / Docker — no GUI, logs to stdout

Then in the web UI (/tools/agents):

1. Providers — point wick at your Claude / Codex / Gemini binary and your PAT
2. Channels — connect Slack (Socket Mode), Telegram bot, or just use the built-in Web UI
3. Workspaces — pick a folder for the agent to work in (a default is created automatically)
4. Send a message → wick spawns the agent and routes the conversation

Every Bash command the agent runs goes through the Command Gate — whitelist globs or escalate to interactive 4-mode approval (Approve once / This session / Always / Block), audited to JSONL.

2. Build Internal Tools & Jobs — AI writes real Go files

go install github.com/yogasw/wick@latest
wick init my-app
cd my-app
wick dev   # http://localhost:9425

Open my-app/ in Claude Code and prompt what you need:

add a tool called "base64" that encodes and decodes text

add a background job that syncs data from our API every 30 minutes

add a connector for GitHub with list_repos and create_issue operations

Claude writes real Go files in your repo — you own everything. git diff to review, git revert to undo.

What the framework handles

You write business logic. Wick handles everything else:

You write	Wick provides
func Register(r tool.Router)	Admin UI, tag-based access, runtime config editing
func Run(ctx) (string, error)	Cron scheduler, job history, run/retry UI
func Operations() []connector.Op	MCP endpoint, per-call audit log, OAuth + PAT auth

Module types

Type	Audience	Entry point	URL
Tool	Humans (web UI)	Register(r tool.Router)	/tools/{key}
Job	Scheduler	Run(ctx) (string, error)	/jobs/{key}
Connector	LLMs via MCP	Operations()	/mcp
Agents	Slack / Telegram / Web	built-in	/tools/agents

Common commands

Command	What it does
wick dev	Generate templ + CSS, start server
wick server	Start HTTP server only
wick worker	Start background job worker
wick all	HTTP + cron in one process (single-node deploys)
wick build	Compile binary with version metadata
wick test	Run go test ./... with coverage
wick skill sync	Refresh bundled AI skills after upgrade
