claude-quickstarts
Independent Claude API starter projects in one repo, not one app: a customer support agent with a knowledge base, a financial data analyst with charts, computer-use and Playwright browser-use demos, a two-agent coding loop on the Agent SDK, and Managed Agents examples for Slack, Linear, Sentry, MCP and CopilotKit AG-UI. Mixed Next.js and Python, each folder with its own setup. For developers copying out one pattern.
Who it is for: Developers copying one Claude pattern into their own app
Strengths
- Covers computer use, browser use, Agent SDK and Managed Agents in one checkout
- Each quickstart is self-contained with its own README and setup
- Tracks current toolset shapes (computer_toolset_20260801, browser_toolset_20260801)
- Ships a CLAUDE.md for agent-driven edits
Weaknesses
- Not a single forkable app; you extract one subfolder
- No auth, billing or database at the root; only what each sample needs
- Anthropic-only; no provider abstraction
- No root .env.example or Docker files
- TypeScript, anthropic
- Needs anthropic-api-key
twitterbio
A one-page Next.js app: a form builds a prompt, sends it to Together AI and streams the reply back, with two open models wired (Qwen 3.5 9B with thinking off, GPT OSS 20B with a reasoning indicator). Nothing else is included: no auth, no database, no tests. For developers who want the smallest prompt-to-text starter to grow from.
Who it is for: Developers wanting a minimal prompt-to-text page
Strengths

- Shows streaming for both a direct model and a reasoning model
- Deployed live example at twitterbio.io
Weaknesses
- No auth, database, rate limiting or tests
- Tied to Together AI; no provider layer
- Single feature; most of a product is still to build
- TypeScript, together
- Needs together-api-key
- env example file
