## What it is
A collection of Jupyter notebook recipes and guides from Anthropic demonstrating effective ways to use the Claude API. It covers capabilities like classification, summarization, RAG, and tool use with copy-pasteable Python code.

## Use cases
- learn how to use the claude api
- build retrieval augmented generation with claude
- examples of claude tool use and function calling
- summarize documents with an llm
- classify text with claude
- build a customer service agent with claude
- query sql databases using natural language

## When to choose
- you are a developer getting started with the Claude API
- you want practical, copyable Python examples for LLM tasks like RAG, classification, or tool use
- you need reference recipes for building agents or integrations with Claude

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready library or framework rather than example notebooks
- you use a different LLM provider and want provider-neutral guidance
- you need non-Python code samples

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: prompt-engineering, rag, agent-framework, nlp, sdk
- domain: large-language-models, artificial-intelligence, tutorials, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: cookbook, jupyter-notebooks, claude-api, anthropic, llm-examples, guides, retrieval-augmented-generation
