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.

- NVIDIA SkillSpector warn
SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 161 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00032 | $0.00992 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00397 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00198 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00099 |
Grade A, and why
creating-financial-models 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 1mo 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.

Financial Modeling Suite
A comprehensive financial modeling toolkit for investment analysis, valuation, and risk assessment using industry-standard methodologies.
Core Capabilities
1. Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis
- Build complete DCF models with multiple growth scenarios
- Calculate terminal values using perpetuity growth and exit multiple methods
- Determine weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
- Generate enterprise and equity valuations
2. Sensitivity Analysis
- Test key assumptions impact on valuation
- Create data tables for multiple variables
- Generate tornado charts for sensitivity ranking
- Identify critical value drivers
3. Monte Carlo Simulation
- Run thousands of scenarios with probability distributions
- Model uncertainty in key inputs
- Generate confidence intervals for valuations
- Calculate probability of achieving targets
4. Scenario Planning
- Build best/base/worst case scenarios
- Model different economic environments
- Test strategic alternatives
- Compare outcome probabilities
Input Requirements
For DCF Analysis
- Historical financial statements (3-5 years)
- Revenue growth assumptions
- Operating margin projections
- Capital expenditure forecasts
- Working capital requirements
- Terminal growth rate or exit multiple
- Discount rate components (risk-free rate, beta, market premium)
For Sensitivity Analysis
- Base case model
- Variable ranges to test
- Key metrics to track
For Monte Carlo Simulation
- Probability distributions for uncertain variables
- Correlation assumptions between variables
- Number of iterations (typically 1,000-10,000)
For Scenario Planning
- Scenario definitions and assumptions
- Probability weights for scenarios
- Key performance indicators to track
Output Formats
DCF Model Output
- Complete financial projections
- Free cash flow calculations
- Terminal value computation
- Enterprise and equity value summary
- Valuation multiples implied
- Excel workbook with full model
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

creating-financial-models is a skill published in the GitHub repository anthropics/claude-cookbooks (53,770 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 992 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
