Recipes

Recipes are complete, annotated Coastfile examples for common project shapes. Each recipe includes a full Coastfile you can copy and adapt, followed by a section-by-section walkthrough explaining why each decision was made.

If you are new to Coastfiles, start with the Coastfiles reference first. Recipes assume familiarity with the core concepts.
