Claude Cookbooks
Anthropic's official collection of Claude examples and guides for tool use, the Agent SDK, extended thinking, multimodal work, evaluation, and prompting patterns.
Project overview
Claude Cookbooks is a prompt resource built around anthropic's official collection of Claude examples and guides for tool use, the Agent SDK, extended thinking, multimodal work, evaluation, and prompting patterns. Its value is practical: learn the claude api and implement tool use are available from one documented project, while the repository remains inspectable before it is added to an agent workflow.
Core capabilities
Learn the Claude API
Learn the Claude API is documented in the repository README or its component instructions. Review the linked source for current behavior and requirements.
Implement tool use
Implement tool use is documented in the repository README or its component instructions. Review the linked source for current behavior and requirements.
Build agent workflows
Build agent workflows is documented in the repository README or its component instructions. Review the linked source for current behavior and requirements.
Design evaluations and prompt patterns
Design evaluations and prompt patterns is documented in the repository README or its component instructions. Review the linked source for current behavior and requirements.
Access and usage
Set up Claude Cookbooks from its public GitHub instructions, keep the initial permission scope small, and verify it with a low-risk task before regular use.

Read the repository README and license first. Confirm the current host, prerequisites, destination paths, and permissions. Follow the repository's documented method, keep credentials out of files and logs, and start with the least-privilege or read-only option where available. Afterward, run a small verification and report the exact changes, commands, configuration path, and result. Ask before overwriting files or requesting broader access.- An Anthropic API key
- Python
- Install dependencies for the selected notebook
git clone https://github.com/anthropics/claude-cookbooks.git- 1Review prerequisites and scope
Read the README, confirm the target host, and prepare these prerequisites: An Anthropic API key; Python; Install dependencies for the selected notebook. Check destination paths and permissions before making changes.
- 2Choose a relevant item
Run the documented command: git clone https://github.com/anthropics/claude-cookbooks.git
- 3Verify with a small task
Open one recommended item from the repository, trace it back to its original source, and confirm that the instructions and license match the intended use.
Open one recommended item from the repository, trace it back to its original source, and confirm that the instructions and license match the intended use.
- Examples evolve with APIs and models
- Running the code requires credentials and can incur charges
Use cases
Learn Claude tool use
Learn Claude tool use is a practical fit when the repository's documented prerequisites and permission model match the current environment.
Prototype a Claude agent
Prototype a Claude agent is a practical fit when the repository's documented prerequisites and permission model match the current environment.
Study prompting patterns and evaluation
Study prompting patterns and evaluation is a practical fit when the repository's documented prerequisites and permission model match the current environment.
Assessment
This assessment is based on the repository README, component documentation, license, and maintenance metadata. Topic directories make it easy to enter examples by capability; Examples come from Anthropic's official repository. The main trade-offs are also clear: Examples evolve with APIs and models; Running the code requires credentials and can incur charges. No local installation or functional test was claimed during cataloging.
Why it may be useful
- Topic directories make it easy to enter examples by capability
- Examples come from Anthropic's official repository
What to know first
- Examples evolve with APIs and models
- Running the code requires credentials and can incur charges
