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.

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 | $0.00016 | $0.00121 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00060 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00024 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00012 |
Grade A, and why
talent-scan 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 11d 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.

What it actually says
Use the recruiter subagent to perform a talent market scan for: $ARGUMENTS
Analyze and report on:
- Talent availability in target markets
- Competitive salary ranges
- Required skills and experience levels
- Estimated time to hire
- Recommended sourcing channels
- Top candidate profiles (if using GitHub)
Provide specific recommendations on:
- Senior vs. junior hiring mix
- Remote vs. in-office strategy
- Compensation packages
- Interview process optimizations
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.

talent-scan is a command published in the GitHub repository anthropics/claude-cookbooks (52,594 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 121 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.

checklist
Generate a custom checklist for the current feature based on user requirements.
clarify
Identify underspecified areas in the current feature spec by asking up to 5 highly targeted clarification questions and encoding answers back into the spec.
specify
Create or update the feature specification from a natural language feature description.
analyze
Perform a non-destructive cross-artifact consistency and quality analysis across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md after task generation.
converge
Assess the current codebase against the feature's spec, plan, and tasks, then append any remaining unbuilt work as new tasks to tasks.md so implement can complete it.
implement
Execute the implementation plan by processing and executing all tasks defined in tasks.md.
