1. Click**"Templates"** →**"New Template"**

2.**Choose a starter template:**

1.**Choose a starter template:**

| Starter| Best For| Includes|

|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|

|**Docker Containers** (Recommended)| Getting started quickly, local development, prototyping| Ubuntu container with common dev tools, Docker runtime|

|**Kubernetes (Deployment)**| Cloud-native teams, scalable workspaces| Pod-based workspaces, Kubernetes orchestration|

|**AWS EC2 (Linux)**| Teams needing full VMs, AWS-native infrastructure| Full EC2 instances with AWS integration|

3. Click**"Use template"** on**Docker Containers**. Note: running this template requires Docker to be running in the background, so make sure Docker is running!

1. Click**"Use template"** on**Docker Containers**. Note: running this template requires Docker to be running in the background, so make sure Docker is running!

4.**Name your template:**

1.**Name your template:**

- Name:`quickstart`

- Display name:`quickstart doc template`

- Description:`Provision Docker containers as Coder workspaces`


1. Click**"Save"**


**What just happened?** You defined a template — a reusable blueprint for dev

environments — in your Coder deployment. It's now stored in your organization's

template list, where you and any teammates in the same org can create workspaces

1. Head to the[Tasks on Docker](https://registry.coder.com/templates/coder-labs/tasks-docker?_gl=1*19yewmn*_gcl_au*MTc0MzUwMTQ2NC4xNzU2MzA3MDkxLjk3NTM3MjgyNy4xNzU3Njg2NDY2LjE3NTc2ODc0Mzc.*_ga*NzUxMDI1NjIxLjE3NTYzMDcwOTE.*_ga_FTQQJCDWDM*czE3NTc3MDg4MDkkbzQ1JGcxJHQxNzU3NzA4ODE4JGo1MSRsMCRoMA..) template

1. Clone the Coder Registry repo to your local machine

1. Switch to the template directory

1. Push the template to your Coder deployment. Note: this command differs from the registry since we're defining the Anthropic API Key as an environment variable

1.**Create the new Workspace**

1. In your Coder Deployment, click**Workspaces** in the upper left hand corner

1. Click**New workspace** and choose**tasks-docker**

1. Fill in the Workspace name. Add in an AI Prompt for Claude Code like "Make the background yellow". Click**Create workspace**

1.**See Tasks in action**

1. Once your workspace is running, click**View tasks** with your workspace. This will bring you to the Tasks view where you can see Claude Code (left panel), preview the sample application, and interact with the code in code-server. You might need to wait for Claude Code to finish changing the background color of the application.


1. Navigate to the**Tasks** tab in the upper left hand corner

1. Try typing in a new request to Claude Code: "make the background red"

1. Let's exit out of this specific Task view, so we can see all the running tasks

1. You can start a new task by prompting in the "Prompt your AI agent to start a task" box. You can select which template to run this from, so tasks-docker here, and that will spin up a new Workspace


Congratulation! You now have a Coder Task running. This demo has shown you how to spin up a task, and prompt Claude Code to change parts of your application. Learn more specifics about Coder Tasks[here](https://coder.com/docs/ai-coder/tasks).
