Customizing your template
Extend your template workspace with custom instructions, hooks, reference files, and MCP configurations that carry into every new project.
Prerequisites
- Set up your template workspace. Refer to Setting up the template workspace for Claude Code and Claude Cowork
Once initialized, the template workspace is all yours to extend. Anything you add here is replicated into every new project:
- Custom instructions and
CLAUDE.mdmodifications, such as instructing Claude to use branch-merge for the development lifecycle - Hooks and subagent configurations
- Reference files for architecture, naming conventions, or preferred practices
- MCP server configurations and reference files
Important
Re-running /bc-integration:configure-template-workspace in the same directory pulls in any new plugin updates while preserving your custom additions. If you have invested significant effort in your template, back it up first.
