Claude Code Templates

Claude Code Templates

Claude Code Templates is an open-source collection of prebuilt configurations, components and developer tools designed specifically for use with Anthropic's Claude Code runtime. The repository provides a large catalog of ready-to-install agents, custom commands, runtime settings, hooks, MCP (external service) integrations and project scaffolds so teams and individual developers can quickly assemble a working AI-driven development environment.

Key features

• Agents: Role-specialized AI agents (e.g., security auditor, React performance optimizer, database architect) that encapsulate prompt patterns and workflows for common engineering tasks.
• Commands: Custom slash-style commands such as /generate-tests, /optimize-bundle, and /check-security to automate repeatable developer actions.
• MCPs (Managed Connector Plugins): Integrations for external services like GitHub, PostgreSQL, Stripe, AWS and others to enable end-to-end automation and data access from Claude Code.
• Settings & Hooks: Predefined Claude Code settings (timeouts, memory, output styles) and automated hooks (pre-commit validations, post-completion actions) to standardize and enforce workflows.
• Tools: Built-in utilities including Claude Code Analytics (real-time session monitoring), Conversation Monitor (mobile-optimized live view), Health Check diagnostics, and a Plugin Dashboard for managing installed plugins and permissions.

Installation & usage

The project is distributed as an npm package and can be installed or executed via npx. Example quick installs:

# Install a complete development stack
npx claude-code-templates@latest --agent development-team/frontend-developer --command testing/generate-tests --mcp development/github-integration --yes

# Browse and install interactively
npx claude-code-templates@latest

Users can install single components (agents, commands, hooks, MCPs) or full stacks using CLI flags. The project also exposes analytics and health-check commands for operational monitoring.

Ecosystem & attribution

Claude Code Templates aggregates and credits many upstream resources and community contributions (Anthropic official skills, community skill libraries, and third‑party repositories). Each incorporated component retains its original license and attribution. The repo is sponsored by Z.AI and advertises optional integrations such as the GLM Coding Plan for enhanced coding performance.

Documentation & community

Complete documentation and examples are hosted on docs.aitmpl.com, and the project maintains a GitHub Discussions area and Issues for community support and contributions.

Who it's for

• Developers and teams using Anthropic Claude Code who want quick, repeatable, and configurable agent workflows.
• Organizations building AI-assisted developer tooling that require managed integrations to external services (MCPs).
• Open-source contributors who want to share or extend agents, commands and integrations.
