Function Hooks: Core Architecture (Anthropic)

A technical design paper by Alice Poteat (Anthropic, August 2026) setting out how function hooks let plugins extend Claude Code — the event model, composition order, rendering and enterprise controls.

Why I recommend it: Advanced and unapologetically technical. Read it as an example of a clear design document as much as for the AI tooling itself.

Claude Mods: Function Hooks Proposal (GitHub)

The public GitHub discussion where Anthropic and the community designed function hooks — a way for plugins to extend Claude Code — including the shipped design decisions and community feedback.

Why I recommend it: A rare look at how an AI product feature gets designed in public. Useful if you want to see how technical feedback is actually written.

Anthropic AI Fluency: Framework Foundations

Anthropic's free course teaching a practical framework for working with AI: delegation, description, discernment, and diligence. Good grounding before you use AI in job search, school, or client work.

In plain terms: This free online course teaches a practical framework for using artificial intelligence tools effectively and responsibly. You can practice prompting techniques, learn how to evaluate AI results, and earn a certificate of completion.

From the site: A free course from Anthropic on the 4D framework for working effectively and responsibly with AI: Delegation, Description, Discernment, and Diligence.

Why I recommend it: This is the fastest way to sound credible about AI in an interview. Take the course, then describe one task you redesigned with AI and what you checked before trusting the output.

LibreChat

An open-source chat app you host yourself that talks to many model providers at once, with user accounts, presets and file uploads. MIT licensed.

From the site: Enhanced ChatGPT Clone: Features Agents, MCP, Skills, DeepSeek, Anthropic, AWS, OpenAI, Responses API, Azure, Groq, o1, GPT-5, Mistral, OpenRouter, Vertex AI, Gemini, Artifacts, AI model switching,...

Why I recommend it: Good for a small team who want one chat tool across several providers without paying per seat.

Claude Certified — Study Guide

A free community-built study guide for Anthropic's Claude certification: what the exam covers, practice questions and the order to learn it in.

From the site: A collaborative AI workspace, built on your company context. Build and orchestrate agents right alongside your team

Why I recommend it: Community notes, not Anthropic's official material — check anything it claims about the exam against Anthropic's own page.

Security News This Week: The Cybersecurity Apocalypse Is Coming in Months, AI Giants Warn

Wired's weekly security roundup covers OpenAI, Anthropic, and 100+ companies cosigning a letter warning that organizations have mere months to prepare for AI-enabled cyberattacks. The piece also tracks rogue AI agent hacking incidents, attacks on over 100 U.S. water systems, license-plate-reader surveillance abuse, Meta's $16.7B child-safety settlement, and ICE buying robot dogs — a snapshot of where AI, surveillance, and critical-infrastructure security collide.

From the site: OpenAI, Anthropic, and more than 100 companies have cosigned a letter saying that everyone else has mere months to prepare for AI-enabled cyberattacks.

Why I recommend it: A stark signal that AI-enabled cyberattacks are no longer hypothetical. The cosigned letter from OpenAI and Anthropic calling for a 'collective response' is exactly the kind of industry accountability move worth watching — pair it with the Hugging Face incident reporting and the water-system attacks to see how AI agents are already being used offensively. Useful for anyone tracking the gap between AI capability and AI governance.
