About
Claude Code is configured through small files: skills, subagents, slash commands, hooks, MCP servers and settings. Claude Code Templates collects more than 1,980 of them in one catalog at aitmpl.com, where you can search, preview every file a component writes, and combine several components into a single install command. The CLI writes each file to the right place and merges existing configuration instead of overwriting it.
Every pull request is checked by Claude Code's plugin validator and scanned by NVIDIA SkillSpector.
Quickstart
Runs with npx, no global install needed.
# Browse the catalog and install interactively
npx claude-code-templates@latest
# Install one component
npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill creative-design/frontend-design
# Install a stack in one command
npx claude-code-templates@latest \
--agent development-team/frontend-developer \
--command testing/generate-tests \
--mcp integration/github-integration
Add --yes to skip the confirmation prompt. Every component page on aitmpl.com shows its exact install command. To find one from the terminal: npx claude-code-templates@latest --search "code review".
npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill creative-design/frontend-design

Local tools
The CLI also ships three local tools. The two dashboards listen on 127.0.0.1 only, because they serve your conversation history.
| Command | What it does |
|---|
npx claude-code-templates@latest --analytics | Real-time session monitoring and usage metrics at localhost:3333 |
npx claude-code-templates@latest --chats | Read and search your conversations in a mobile-friendly UI at localhost:9876 |
npx claude-code-templates@latest --health-check | Diagnose your Claude Code installation and project setup |
To open the conversation browser from another device, forward the port over SSH: ssh -L 9876:localhost:9876 <host>.
--plugins, --skills-manager, --command-stats, --hook-stats, --mcp-stats, --agents, --chats-mobile, --teams, --2025, --studio, --sandbox, --tunnel, --create-agent, --list-agents, --update-agent, --remove-agent and --clone-session were removed. Running one prints what replaced it. To see what is installed in each scope, use the stack viewer mod (--mod ui/stack-viewer, then /stack in Claude Code). Details in the CHANGELOG.
