Trust analysis is a screening signal, not a security warranty. Read the ranking and trust methodology.
In practice
Written by AI from this repository’s README · medium confidencePatterns like tool use, RAG, evals, and prompt caching are easy to get wrong without a working reference.
Use it when
When you need a known good example for a Claude API technique before writing your own implementation.
Not the right pick when
These are recipes rather than a maintained library, so nothing here is a dependency you can install and call.
Capabilities
- recipes for classification, RAG and summarization
- tool use examples including a customer service agent and SQL queries
- multimodal vision guides for images, charts and forms
- sub-agent patterns and automated evaluations
- JSON mode and moderation filter recipes
- prompt caching techniques
Requirements
- a Claude API key
Cost: Cost not stated

Claude Cookbooks
The Claude Cookbooks provide code and guides designed to help developers build with Claude, offering copy-able code snippets that you can easily integrate into your own projects.
Prerequisites
To make the most of the examples in this cookbook, you'll need a Claude API key (sign up for free here).
While the code examples are primarily written in Python, the concepts can be adapted to any programming language that supports interaction with the Claude API.
If you're new to working with the Claude API, we recommend starting with our Claude API Fundamentals course to get a solid foundation.
