Prompt example extracted from Anthropic Cookbook.
What Cookbooks Are NOT Cookbooks are not pure tutorials: We assume users have basic technical skills and API familiarity. We clearly state prerequisites in our cookbooks, and direct users to the Academy to learn more on topics. They are not comprehensive explanations: We don't teach transformer architecture or probability theory. We need to understand that our users are following our cookbooks to solve problems they are facing today. They are busy, in the midst of learning or building, and want to be able to use what they learn to solve their immediate needs. Cookbooks are not reference docs: We don't exhaustively document every parameter, we link to appropriate resources in our documentation as needed. Cookbooks are not simple tips and tricks: We don't teach "hacks" that only work for the current model generation. We don't over-promise and under-deliver. Cookbooks are not production-ready code: They showcase use cases and capabilities, not production patterns. Excessive error handling is not required.
