SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you build LLM-powered applications with Claude by routing you to the correct API surface (Claude API vs Agent SDK vs tool use) and the right language-specific implementation details.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic routing to the correct interface: Choose Claude API for single calls or code-controlled workflows, and Agent SDK when you need built-in file/web/terminal access.
  • Language detection and tailored guidance: Detect your stack (Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, Ruby, C#, PHP) and point you to the matching docs.
  • Production-ready Claude configuration: Defaults for model selection, adaptive thinking, and streaming; guidance for structured outputs, tool use, batching, files, and error handling.

Quick Start

Tell an AI coding assistant: “I’m building a Python app that should call Claude to extract structured fields from uploaded documents and handle tool use—show me the correct setup and example code.”

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between the Claude API and the Agent SDK for my application?

Use the Claude API for single calls or code-controlled workflows, and select the Agent SDK when you need built-in file, web, or terminal access for agentic coding assistants.

How do I configure structured outputs and tool use with the Anthropic SDK?

Configure the Anthropic SDK by applying Claude model defaults and utilizing guided patterns for structured outputs, multi-step tool use pipelines, and specific error handling to extract data reliably.

Does the Claude API support streaming and batch file processing?

Yes, the Claude API supports optional batch, file, and streaming capabilities across supported languages to facilitate production-ready LLM-powered applications and real-time workflows.

What languages are supported for building apps with the Claude API?

The Claude API and Anthropic SDKs support language-specific setup and implementation details for Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, Ruby, C#, and PHP stacks.

What is the best way to handle errors in multi-step Claude pipelines?

Handle errors in multi-step Claude pipelines by enforcing Claude model defaults, applying adaptive thinking settings, and following language-specific error handling guidance provided for your stack.

How do I set up a Python app to call Claude for document extraction?

Set up a Python app by detecting the Anthropic SDK, enforcing Claude model defaults, and using structured outputs with tool use patterns to extract structured fields from uploaded documents.
