Anthropic published Commerce Agents, an Apache-2.0 reference blueprint for building shopping and merchant agents with Claude, with worked examples across retail, commerce, telecom and entertainment. The repo states plainly: "This is a reference implementation; it is not maintained and does not accept contributions" — a starting pattern to fork, not a dependency.

## Notes

- Apache-2.0 and the not-maintained disclaimer independently verified on the repo (2.4k★) 2026-09-08. Published as news, not a tool entry, because the maker explicitly disclaims maintenance.
- Curated from the GTM Stacker signal registry (registry_update pass, briefs 2026-09-01→08).
