What it does This repo is an unofficial study companion for the Claude Certified Architect — Foundations certification. It bundles markdown guides, auto-generated PDFs, and practical exercises covering tool design, MCP integration, structured output, and context management. Nine language versions are included, from English and Spanish to Urdu and Hebrew.

The interesting bit The certification itself is currently locked behind Anthropic’s Partner Network and will cost $99 at general availability. The repo essentially front-runs the paywall by crowdsourcing the curriculum. Contributors can add new translations via PR; PDFs regenerate automatically on merge.

Key highlights

• Study guides in 9 languages (MD + PDF)
• Practical exercises for MCP, tool use, and reliability patterns
• Links to 13 free Anthropic Academy courses for broader context
• Auto-generated PDFs from markdown on PR merge
• Curated links to Claude Code cheatsheets and skill guides

Caveats

• The actual exam portal and certification require verified partner access; this repo is prep material only
• No sample questions or exam dumps are visible in the README—just study guides and exercises
• Translation quality and guide depth are unclear without opening the files

Verdict Worth bookmarking if you’re in Anthropic’s partner orbit or planning to take the exam once it opens. Everyone else should treat it as a structured reading list on Claude architecture rather than a shortcut to the credential.
