Case Study

How This Works: A Case Study in Using the Anthropic SDK

This page is powered by a three-phase TypeScript pipeline that runs every morning via GitHub Actions. Deterministic code handles data sourcing and validation. A single constrained Haiku 4.5 turn — zero tools, one API call — handles the judgment: scoring categories and selecting headlines from a pre-verified article pool. The result: ~$0.03/run, ~26 seconds end-to-end, zero human intervention.
