Cookbook Overview

The Panacea Cookbook is a set of implementation guides showing how Panacea's platform features work under the hood — document ingestion and RAG, multi-agent orchestration, billing, the MCP tool server, and more. Each guide points at the real backend files involved and explains how to run that part of the system locally.
