 ### Token Caching and Blacklisting
 
 The middleware automatically caches validated tokens to improve performance and maintains a blacklist of revoked tokens.
+### Templated Headers
+
+The middleware supports setting custom HTTP headers with values templated from OIDC claims and tokens. This allows you to pass authentication information to downstream services in a flexible, customized format.
+
+Templates can access the following variables:
+- `{{.Claims.field}}` - Access individual claims from the ID token (e.g., `{{.Claims.email}}`, `{{.Claims.sub}}`)
+- `{{.AccessToken}}` - The raw access token string
+- `{{.IdToken}}` - The raw ID token string (same as AccessToken in most configurations)
+- `{{.RefreshToken}}` - The raw refresh token string
+
+**Example configuration:**
+```yaml
+headers:
+  - name: "X-User-Email"
+    value: "{{.Claims.email}}"
+  - name: "X-User-ID"
+    value: "{{.Claims.sub}}"
+  - name: "Authorization"
+    value: "Bearer {{.AccessToken}}"
+  - name: "X-User-Name"
+    value: "{{.Claims.given_name}} {{.Claims.family_name}}"
+```
+
+**Advanced template examples:**
+
+Conditional logic:
+```yaml
+headers:
+  - name: "X-Is-Admin"
+    value: "{{if eq .Claims.role \"admin\"}}true{{else}}false{{end}}"
+```
+
+Array handling:
+```yaml
+headers:
+  - name: "X-User-Roles"
+    value: "{{range $i, $e := .Claims.roles}}{{if $i}},{{end}}{{$e}}{{end}}"
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+- Variable names are case-sensitive (use `.Claims`, not `.claims`)
+- Missing claims will result in `<no value>` in the header value
+- The middleware validates templates during startup and logs errors for invalid templates
