SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Developers integrating Anthropic's Claude API into applications often struggle with correct SDK usage, request formatting, advanced feature implementation (like tool use or streaming), and production best practices for cost and reliability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-Language SDK Support: Provides ready-to-use patterns for both Python and TypeScript Anthropic SDKs, covering installation, basic requests, and advanced feature implementation.
  • Advanced API Feature Guides: Includes implementation instructions for streaming, tool use, vision input, extended thinking, batch processing, prompt caching, and the Claude Agent SDK for building agentic workflows.
  • Production Best Practices: Offers cost optimization strategies, error handling patterns, and environment setup guidance to build reliable, efficient Claude-powered applications.
  • Use Case: A developer building an AI code review tool can use this skill to quickly implement tool use for searching a codebase and streaming responses for real-time feedback to users.

Quick Start

Use the claude-api skill to build a Python script that sends a user's question to the Claude API and returns the response with streaming enabled.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement streaming with the Claude API in Python or TypeScript?

Streaming with the Claude API is implemented using the official Python and TypeScript SDKs to send messages and receive real-time response chunks. This skill provides production-ready patterns for enabling streaming in your application.

What is prompt caching and how does it optimize Claude API costs?

Prompt caching optimizes Claude API costs by reusing cached context across multiple requests, reducing latency and token usage. This skill offers implementation instructions and cost optimization strategies for efficient API interactions.

How do I use tool use with the Anthropic Claude API?

Tool use with the Claude API allows models to interact with external functions and search codebases using the Python and TypeScript SDKs. This skill provides ready-to-use patterns for implementing tool use in agentic workflows.

Can I build an agent workflow using the Claude API SDK?

You can build agentic workflows using the Claude Agent SDK included in the Anthropic Python and TypeScript SDKs. This skill covers implementation instructions for creating agents that handle complex tasks autonomously.

How do I handle errors and configure the environment for Claude API requests?

Handling errors and configuring the environment for Claude API requests involves implementing production-ready error handling patterns and proper environment setup. This skill offers guidance to ensure reliable and efficient API interactions.

Does the Claude API support batch processing and vision input?

The Claude API supports batch processing and vision input using the official Python and TypeScript SDKs. This skill includes advanced API feature guides for implementing these functionalities in your applications.
