Cookbook Audit

This audits Anthropic Cookbook notebooks against their internal style guide and rubric, giving you a scored report with specific improvement suggestions. It runs automated checks for hardcoded secrets and technical issues, converts the notebook to markdown for easier review, then evaluates narrative quality, code quality, technical accuracy, and actionability. The checklist is thorough, covering everything from problem-focused introductions with learning objectives to proper model constant definitions and output suppression patterns. If you're maintaining cookbook content or reviewing contributions, this systematizes what would otherwise be a subjective manual process. The rubric emphasizes action over theory and actually explains the philosophy behind good cookbook design, which helps you understand why certain patterns matter.
