 4. **Name your template:**
 1. **Name your template:**
   - Name: `quickstart`
   - Display name: `quickstart doc template`
   - Description: `Provision Docker containers as Coder workspaces`

 **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

 ```hcl
 git clone https://github.com/coder/registry.git
 ```
 ```hcl
 git clone https://github.com/coder/registry.git
 ```

 1. Switch to the template directory

 ```hcl
 cd registry/registry/coder-labs/templates/tasks-docker
 ```
 ```hcl
 cd registry/registry/coder-labs/templates/tasks-docker
 ```

 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

 ```hcl
 coder template push tasks-docker -d . --variable anthropic_api_key="your-api-key"
 ```
 ```hcl
 coder template push tasks-docker -d . --variable anthropic_api_key="your-api-key"
 ```

 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.
   ![Tasks changing background color of demo application](../images/screenshots/quickstart-tasks-background-change.png)
   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

   ![Tasks changing background color of demo application](../images/screenshots/quickstart-tasks-background-change.png)

 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).
