Intro

Claude Cookbooks is a repo of copyable notebooks for Claude API patterns (tool use, RAG, vision, evals) so you can prototype faster (42.9k★).

Best for: Developers who want vetted Claude API patterns they can copy into apps (tool use, RAG, multimodal, evaluations)

Works with: Python + Jupyter (for notebooks) and any language that can call the Claude API; start from the recipe folders and adapt

Setup time: 5-15 minutes

Main

  • Recipe-first structure: the README links to focused folders (classification, RAG, summarization, tool use) so you can start from a minimal working example.
  • Tool use examples: includes practical notebooks for function/tool integration (e.g., calculator, customer service patterns).
  • Multimodal coverage: contains vision and PDF-related recipes so you can wire image/PDF inputs into your app workflows.
  • Evaluation recipes: ships notebooks for building eval loops—useful when you need a repeatable quality gate for prompts or tools.

FAQ

  • Do I need to use notebooks?: No. Use notebooks as a reference and copy the minimal code into your own runtime.
  • Where should I start?: Start from one capability folder (tool use or RAG) and run a single recipe end to end before mixing patterns.
  • Is it Python-only?: Most examples are in Python notebooks, but the patterns (prompting, tool use, evals) translate to any language.
