# Build agents that finish real work

Start with the SDK you already use. Every recipe turns an official framework pattern into a complete, source-backed workflow and saves a Markdown artifact you can inspect, edit, or share.

The cookbook uses compact Markdown responses from each SerpApi tool. The agents pass search results directly to models and do not parse JSON fields.

# Configure once

Clone the repository, then copy the cookbook environment template to the repository root:

``` bash
cp cookbook/sample.env .env
```

Every recipe needs `SERPAPI_API_KEY` (or `SERPAPI_KEY`) and the model-provider key listed on its page. Each page includes the exact `uv run` command.

Set `COOKBOOK_PROMPT` to replace the default brief. Reports are written to `cookbook-output/` unless `COOKBOOK_OUTPUT_DIR` is set.

The commands use `--isolated --no-project` so the local recipe runs against the published package and its SDK extra instead of importing this checkout.
