Downloads for CRAFT for Claude Cowork

What you’re downloading

The full CRAFT for Claude Cowork framework lives in one repository — recipes, cookbooks, specifications, templates, and the project scaffolding system that ties them together. Together they form the methodology layer for Claude Cowork: a structured way to apply production-systems discipline to AI work, share knowledge across sessions, and build durable context over time.

There’s nothing else to install. The framework files live alongside your project — Claude Cowork loads them every session.

How to get it

Get started in one command

git clone https://github.com/CRAFTFramework/craft-framework.git
View on GitHub →

That’s the whole install

Clone the repository to a folder on your machine, point Claude Cowork at it, and you’re running CRAFT. No login, no paywall, no email gate — just git clone.

The framework is open source and free during Beta. Full setup notes live in the repository README.

Become a Founding Chef

CRAFT for Cowork is in open beta. Until September 1, 2026, anyone joining gets Founding Chef recognition — and a seat at the table while the framework is still being shaped.

After September 1, the framework continues. The product doesn’t go away. What closes is the window where your feedback can directly steer the roadmap. That window is sized to one solo developer’s bandwidth, which is why it has to close.

Clone once. Always current.

Pull updates whenever the framework grows. The repository is the authoritative version of the framework — when new recipes ship, git pull brings them in.

If your project doesn’t have internet access

The git clone and git pull workflow needs an internet connection. If your CRAFT for Cowork project runs without one, you have two options:

  1. Replace files manually. Visit the repository in a browser, download the latest framework files, and replace the existing files in your project folder.
  2. Create a fresh project and transfer your work. Use the cross-project knowledge transfer recipe pair (CWK-026 Cross-Project Knowledge Packager → CWK-027 Cross-Project Knowledge Receiver), with CWK-029 Cowork Project Creator to scaffold the new project. The packager bundles your existing project’s lessons, decisions, and state; the receiver imports them into the fresh scaffold.

Both paths land you on the current framework with your project intact.
