3  Engine recipes & quickstart

This book is the long-form, measured companion to the engine’s short, copy-paste task references. Those live — readable and compile-tested, in both Rust and Python — in the engine Guide: the Getting Started quickstart and the How-To Guides. Their runnable scripts ship in the jammi-ai repo under cookbook/recipes/ and cookbook/quickstart/, exercised by the engine’s cookbook.yml workflow and the it/cookbook.rs integration test.

Where the Guide’s How-To Guides are the minimal “how do I call this verb” reference, this book explains each primitive end-to-end — one recipe = one equation = one line of the GNN canon, executed against a committed golden.

The links below point at the in-repo runnable sources on GitHub: Quarto does not follow file links above the book’s project root, and the recipes deliberately stay outside it (engine-owned, not part of the rendered book).
