What it is
Claude Code Templates is a command-line tool that adds prepared configurations to Anthropic's Claude Code, the AI coding assistant. These include AI agents, custom slash commands, settings, hooks, external service integrations (MCPs) and project templates, which you can browse on the project's website or install with npx. It also offers extras such as an analytics view of your sessions, a health check for your installation, and a plugin dashboard.
- Install a code reviewer agent with npx claude-code-templates@latest --agent development-tools/code-reviewer --yes
- Add a test generation slash command with --command testing/generate-tests
- Set up a pre-commit validation hook with --hook git/pre-commit-validation
- Run --analytics to monitor Claude Code sessions in real time
- Run --health-check to diagnose your Claude Code installation
Great for
- Developers who already use Claude Code and want ready-made agents or commands without writing them from scratch
- Teams wanting a shared starting setup for Claude Code hooks, settings or MCP integrations
- People who want to check their Claude Code installation with the built-in health check
- Users who want to monitor Claude Code sessions through the analytics or conversation monitor
Not ideal for
- People who do not use Claude Code, since the tool only configures that product
- Users who want to audit every component before installing, since the catalog pulls from many third-party sources with varying licenses
- Those needing a stable, slowly changing setup, given the frequent release cadence and large catalog
How to get it
- 1
Install with a package manager
You'll need: Node.js (npx is used; version not stated in README) · Claude Code

Get the most out of it
- Use --yes with specific component paths to script repeatable installs
- Combine several --agent, --command, --mcp flags in one command to build a stack at once
- Use --chats --tunnel only if you need remote access to the conversation monitor, understanding it uses a Cloudflare Tunnel
- Read the documentation at docs.aitmpl.com for full component guides
Downloads
Strengths
- Large catalog of components covering many domains, per the README (100+ agents, commands, settings, hooks and MCPs)
- Installs through a single npx command, with an interactive mode for browsing
- Lists its sources and their licenses in an attribution section
Trade-offs
- Components come from many external authors, so each should be reviewed before use
- The README is primarily a catalog guide and says little about internal security or how components behave
- Some features (conversation monitor remote access via Cloudflare Tunnel) add network exposure that needs care
