<quick_start>

Identify what you're looking for (tool use, agents, skills, etc.)
Fetch the repository index to find relevant notebooks/examples
Fetch specific example files for detailed implementation
Adapt the patterns to your use case

Action: Fetch https://github.com/anthropics/claude-cookbooks/tree/main/tool_use to see available tool use examples, then fetch specific notebooks

</example>

<example title="Find skill examples">

User: Show me how to build a Claude Code skill

Action: Fetch https://github.com/anthropics/claude-cookbooks/tree/main/skills to find skill implementation patterns

</example>

<usage_patterns>
<pattern name="browse_category">
**When user wants to see what examples exist:**
1. Use WebFetch on the category URL
2. List available notebooks/files
3. Ask which specific example to explore
</pattern>

<pattern name="fetch_example">
**When user needs a specific example:**
1. Use WebFetch on the raw GitHub URL for the file
2. Extract relevant code patterns
3. Explain how to adapt for user's context
</pattern>

<pattern name="search_pattern">
**When user describes a problem:**
1. Identify likely category (tool_use, agents, skills, etc.)
2. Fetch category listing
3. Find most relevant example
4. Fetch and explain the implementation

<workflow_for_lookup>
<step n="1">
**Identify the domain**: What type of example does the user need?
- Tool calling → tool_use/
- Skills/commands → skills/
- Agent patterns → agents/
- Vision/docs → multimodal/
- Cloud providers → third_party/
- Prompting → prompt_engineering/
</step>

<step n="2">
**Fetch the category index**:

WebFetch: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-cookbooks/tree/main/{category} Prompt: List all available examples and notebooks in this directory

</step>

<step n="3">
**Fetch specific example**:

WebFetch: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/claude-cookbooks/main/{category}/{filename} Prompt: Extract the key implementation patterns and code examples

</step>

<step n="4">
**Apply to context**: Adapt the example patterns to the user's specific use case
