Claude Code Templates by Daniel Avila is a catalog plus CLI for setting up Claude Code quickly. The website aitmpl.com lets you browse hundreds of components, and one npx command installs them: agents, slash commands, settings, hooks, MCP server configs, skills and full project templates.
Who it is for
Developers who want a configured Claude Code setup in minutes, and teams looking for examples of hooks and settings to adapt.
Install
Browse interactively:
npx claude-code-templates@latestInstall a stack in one line, as in the README:
npx claude-code-templates@latest --agent development-team/frontend-developer --command testing/generate-tests --mcp development/github-integration --yesSingle components work the same way, for example --hook git/pre-commit-validation or --setting performance/mcp-timeouts.
Extra tools
--analytics: live dashboard of your Claude Code sessions.--chats: mobile-friendly conversation monitor, optionally via a Cloudflare Tunnel with--tunnel.--health-check: diagnostics for your Claude Code installation.--plugins: view marketplaces, installed plugins and permissions.
Use cases
- Bootstrap a new repo with a reviewer agent, a test-generation command and a GitHub MCP.
- Copy a proven pre-commit hook instead of writing one from scratch.
- Audit an existing setup with the health check.
Pros
- Huge, searchable catalog with a web UI.
- Composable installs, one component at a time.
- MIT licensed and updated almost daily.
Cons and caveats
- Components are aggregated from many authors; quality and maintenance vary.
- Hooks and MCP configs run code or connect services, so read them before installing.
- Remote chat access through a tunnel exposes session content; use it carefully.
