## Project history and usage

Claude Code Templates is a catalog and CLI for installing reusable Claude Code agents, commands, MCP integrations, settings, hooks, skills, and project templates. The official README presents it as both an npm CLI and the backend/catalog for the aitmpl.com browsing experience.

### Project history

The npm package was first published in July 2025 and grew quickly by version count, with the npm registry recording 155 versions by the 1.29.2 release. The project emerged after Claude Code made `.claude` directories, slash commands, MCP servers, hooks, and agent definitions valuable reusable artifacts.

The README frames the project as a comprehensive collection rather than a single template. It includes install commands for individual agents, commands, MCPs, settings, hooks, and broader development stacks, plus additional tools for analytics, conversation monitoring, health checks, and plugin dashboards.

### Adoption history

The package is distributed as `claude-code-templates` on npm and as a Homebrew formula that packages the npm tarball. Its official README also points users to docs.aitmpl.com and aitmpl.com for browsing and installation.

The README documents third-party and official upstream sources used in the collection, including Anthropic's official skills and Claude Code examples, scientific skills, community agent repositories, and command collections. That source attribution is a stronger adoption signal than download claims because it shows the catalog curating across multiple Claude ecosystem projects.

### How it is used

Users can run `npx claude-code-templates@latest` interactively or pass flags such as `--agent`, `--command`, `--mcp`, `--setting`, `--hook`, and `--yes` to install selected components into Claude Code configuration locations.

The project is also used as a discovery layer: the README directs users to aitmpl.com to browse more than 100 agents, commands, settings, hooks, and MCPs, then install selected components through the CLI.

### Why package nerds care

For package nerds, Claude Code Templates is a clear example of the package-manager instinct moving from binaries and libraries into AI-agent configuration. Prompts, hooks, agent roles, MCP endpoints, and settings become catalog entries that can be searched, attributed, installed, and updated.

The project is also notable because its package wraps a living catalog. The Homebrew formula points to an npm tarball, while the docs and website provide a higher-level registry experience for components that are not traditional executable packages.

### Timeline

- 2025-07: npm registry records the first `claude-code-templates` publication.

- 2026: Homebrew formula `claude-code-templates` packages version 1.29.2 from the npm registry.

### Related projects
