anthropics/claude-quickstarts

A collection of projects designed to help developers quickly get started with building deployable applications using the Claude API

What it solves

It provides a set of reference implementations and starter templates for developers to build AI applications using the Claude API, reducing the friction of starting a new project from scratch.

How it works

The repository contains a collection of standalone "quickstart" projects. Each project demonstrates a specific capability of the Claude API, such as computer use, browser automation, or managed agents. Developers clone the repository, navigate to a specific project folder, install dependencies, and provide an API key to run the application.

Who it’s for

Developers who want to implement specific AI patterns (like autonomous coding or customer support) using Claude and need concrete code examples to build upon.

Highlights

  • Computer Use: Demos for controlling a desktop computer and a native-macOS reference implementation for building reliable agents.
  • Browser Automation: A Playwright-backed implementation for navigating websites and interacting with DOM elements.
  • Managed Agents: A wide variety of agentic patterns including scheduled tasks (Sentry triage, Daily Brief), platform integrations (Slack, Linear), and knowledge wikis.
  • Autonomous Coding: A two-agent pattern (initializer and coding agent) that persists progress via git.
  • Specialized Analysts: Templates for customer support and financial data analysis with interactive visualization.
