The CKS - Development Tools Edition is a collection of Visual Studio templates, Server Explorer extensions, and tools providing accelerated SharePoint 2010 and 2013 development. But, unfortunately, it's available only for Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 and not for Visual Studio 2015.
There is a workaround through which you can use CKS - Dev in Visual Studio 2015 as well.
The CKSDev should already be installed on the system in any Visual Studio version; otherwise, you will not get the folder required.
Follow the steps and enjoy the power of CKS - Dev.
1. Open the window explorer and go to - \Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\Extensions.
2. Find the folder containing CKSDev - on my machine it was called yqxmnzzs.3tk.
3. Copy the folder.
4. Open the window explorer and go to - \Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\Extensions.
5. Paste the copied folder here.
6. Start Visual Studio 2015 (with Office Developer Tools).
7. Click Tools > Extensions and Updates.
8. Find CKSDev and click "Enable". It is disabled by default..
9. Restart Visual Studio 2015.
I hope this will help; do write your comments and suggestions.
