Anthropic open-sources Commerce Agents: shopping and merchant agents, batteries included

xiaohu · x · 2026-09-03

Anthropic open-sourced the commerce-agents repo: two agents (a customer-facing Shopping Agent and a staff-facing Merchant Agent), each defined once via prompt, skills, tool contracts, and gates, runnable on the Messages API, Claude Agent SDK, and Managed Agents. Four runnable verticals (retail, travel, telecom, ticketing) share the same libraries, and the repo demonstrates business tools, presentation components, memory, safety approvals, and evals. Includes Python packages, web apps, tests, deploy scripts, and a Claude Code plugin; checkout only renders carts with no real orders, all demo data fictional.
