Claude Cookbooks is a collection of code examples and guides that show developers how to build applications with the Claude API. Users consult its notebooks and recipes to learn techniques such as classification and retrieval-augmented generation. The catalogue add-ons provide commands, skills, agents, hooks, settings, and instructions related to using these examples.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00019 | $0.00188 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00094 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00038 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00019 |
Grade A, and why
strategic-brief scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

- At least 2 alternative approaches
- Pros/cons of each
Format for board-level presentation with clear sections and data-driven insights.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

strategic-brief is a command published in the GitHub repository anthropics/claude-cookbooks (52,594 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 188 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
