What it does

Claude Code Templates is an agent skill from happycapy-ai/Happycapy-skills. CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code with a comprehensive collection of 600+ AI agents, 200+ custom commands, 55+ external service integrations (MCPs), 60+ settings, 39+ hooks, and 14+ project templates. Use when users need to install or manage Claude Code components, browse available templates, run analytics/health checks, or set up development workflows. Integrates with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and 10+ other AI coding platforms.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers, Project scaffolding and Frontend development. The repository describes itself as: A curated collection of high-quality Claude Code skills to enhance your development workflow. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Users need to install
  • Manage Claude Code components
  • Browse available templates
  • Run analytics/health checks

Example prompts

  • “/claude-code-templates”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in GOOGLE_API_KEY

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Agents (600+) - AI specialists for specific domains
  2. Commands (200+) - Custom slash commands
  3. MCPs (55+) - External service integrations
  4. Settings (60+) - Claude Code configurations
  5. Hooks (39+) - Automation triggers
  6. Templates (14+) - Project scaffolding

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9ff72fe. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com
    • aitmpl.com
    • docs.aitmpl.com
    • npmjs.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GOOGLE_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Claude Code Templates loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 520 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~119
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:140
    2. **Use .env files** - Add to .gitignore

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Security Best Practices

When working with this tool:

  1. Never hardcode API keys or tokens - Use environment variables
  2. Use .env files - Add to .gitignore
  3. Validate inputs - All user inputs are sanitized
  4. Review permissions - Check MCP permissions before installation

Example secure configuration:

javascript
// ✅ Good - Using environment variables
const apiKey = process.env.GOOGLE_API_KEY;

// ❌ Bad - Hardcoded secrets
const apiKey = "your-api-key-here";
