claude-cookbooks

Claude Cookbooks is an open-source repository maintained by Anthropic, providing copy-able code snippets and guides to help developers integrate Claude into their projects. The examples are primarily written in Python, but the concepts are adaptable to any language that supports the Claude API. An API key is required. The cookbook is organized into several areas: Capabilities: Includes recipes for text and data classification, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), and text summarization. Tool Use and Integration: Demonstrates how to extend Claude's capabilities by integrating with external tools and functions, with examples such as a customer service agent, calculator integration, and SQL queries. Third-Party Integrations: Shows how to supplement Claude's knowledge with external data sources, including vector databases (Pinecone), Wikipedia, web pages, and embeddings with Voyage AI. Multimodal Capabilities: Covers vision tasks with Claude, including getting started with images, best practices, interpreting charts and graphs, extracting content from forms, and generating images using Stable Diffusion. Advanced Techniques: Features sub-agents using Haiku with Opus, PDF upload and parsing, automated prompt evaluations, JSON mode, content moderation filters, prompt caching, and cost optimization with Pareto-optimal configuration analysis. The repository also links to additional resources, including Anthropic on AWS and AWS code samples. Community contributions are welcomed via issues and pull requests.
