Claude Cookbooks

Claude Cookbooks is an open-source collection of Jupyter notebooks and code guides maintained by Anthropic, designed to help developers quickly get started building with the Claude API. It provides copy-paste-ready code snippets covering a wide range of capabilities, from text classification and summarization to multimodal vision and sub-agent orchestration. Written primarily in Python, the examples are adaptable to any language that supports the Claude API. The repository is community-driven and welcomes contributions from developers worldwide.

• Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG): Learn how to enhance Claude's responses with external knowledge sources, including vector database integrations like Pinecone and Wikipedia search.
• Tool Use & Integration: Explore how to extend Claude's capabilities by integrating external tools and functions, with examples like a customer service agent, calculator, and SQL query generation.
• Multimodal Vision: Get started with image inputs, best practices for vision tasks, chart interpretation, and form content extraction using Claude's vision capabilities.
• Third-Party Integrations: Connect Claude with external services including Pinecone for vector search, Voyage AI for embeddings, and web page reading.
• Advanced Techniques: Dive into sub-agent patterns, PDF upload and summarization, automated prompt evaluations, JSON mode, content moderation filters, and prompt caching.
• Image Generation: Use Claude alongside Stable Diffusion to generate illustrated responses.
• Classification & Summarization: Apply Claude to text and data classification tasks and discover techniques for effective summarization.
• Community Contributions: Submit ideas, fix typos, or add new guides via GitHub Issues and Pull Requests to help grow the resource for all developers.
