Claude Code Templates is a CLI tool and web catalog that helps you configure, monitor, and extend Claude Code with pre-built components. Instead of manually creating agent prompts, custom commands, and MCP configurations from scratch, you browse the template catalog, pick what you need, and install it with a single command.
The catalog includes 200+ components across five categories: agents (specialized AI assistants), commands (custom slash commands), MCPs (external tool integrations), hooks (lifecycle event handlers), and settings (pre-configured preferences). Each component is community-reviewed and versioned, so you get battle-tested configurations rather than experimental prompts.
The CLI runs as an npm package. Install it globally, then use commands like `claude-code-templates install agent code-reviewer` to add a specific agent to your project. The tool handles dependency resolution — if an agent requires specific MCP servers or hooks, those get installed automatically. A search command lets you find components by keyword, category, or compatibility.
Beyond the template catalog, Claude Code Templates includes analytics tools. Track your Claude Code usage patterns, monitor token consumption across sessions, and identify which components give you the most value. The analytics dashboard runs locally and respects your privacy — no data leaves your machine.
The project also maintains a website where you can browse components visually, read documentation, and preview agent behaviors before installing. With 26,000+ GitHub stars and 1,100+ commits, it's one of the most active projects in the Claude Code ecosystem. The tool is free and open-source under the MIT license.
