# Recipes
> Copy-paste patterns for common voice agent workflows — tested, annotated, and ready to adapt.

Recipes are focused, working examples for the patterns you'll build most often. Each recipe shows the complete code, explains the key decisions, and flags common mistakes.
Recipes assume you're comfortable with [functions](/learn/guides/advanced/using-tools) and basic [return values](/learn/guides/advanced/tool-return-values). Most Level 2+ learners can use them directly; Level 1 learners should finish the core lessons first.
## Available recipes
Send an SMS after collecting consent. Handles the full consent → send → confirm loop.
Deterministic retry counter that escalates to a live agent after N failures.
Collect and verify a caller's identity before proceeding to sensitive information.
Route calls to different destinations based on what the caller says they need.
## How to use recipes
Each recipe is a starting point, not a final implementation. Adapt the function names, prompts, and logic to match your agent's context. The comments in each snippet explain *why* each decision was made — read them before editing.
If you find yourself writing the same pattern more than once, it's a good candidate for a recipe. The [ADK](/extend/adk) makes it easy to pull patterns into reusable utility files.
