What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you implement production-ready Claude (Anthropic) API and SDK workflows while avoiding common integration pitfalls that cause runtime errors, incorrect tool use, or non-Claude code paths.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Claude SDK-first integration: Ensures you call the official Anthropic SDK by language (or raw HTTP only when explicitly requested), with guardrails against accidentally generating OpenAI-provider-compatible code.
- Practical defaults for real apps: Sets consistent model behavior expectations (including Opus 4.7 as the default) and recommends adaptive thinking and streaming for long outputs.
- Tool use and agentic workflows: Supports tool calling patterns, manual and automated loops, structured outputs, prompt caching, and context compaction for long-running sessions.
- Reading guide by task type: Directs you to the right sections for single-call tasks, streaming UIs, prompt caching, migration, and managed agents concepts.
Quick Start
Ask for a Claude SDK integration for your current language and tell the assistant what you’re building (e.g., single request, streaming UI, tool use loop, or migration to a newer model).
