SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Developers integrating Anthropic's Claude models into applications often struggle with inconsistent SDK usage, unoptimized API calls, and missing best practices for advanced features like tool use and prompt caching, leading to higher costs and poor performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Language SDK Patterns: Pre-built, production-ready examples for Python and TypeScript Anthropic SDKs.
  • Advanced Feature Implementation: Step-by-step guidance for tool use, vision input, streaming, extended thinking, prompt caching, batch processing, and Claude Agent SDK workflows.
  • Use Case: A developer building a code review agent can use this skill to implement tool use for searching codebases, stream responses for real-time feedback, and apply prompt caching to reduce API costs for repeated system prompts.

Quick Start

Use the claude-api skill to build a Python tool that streams real-time Claude responses for user feedback.
