Scaffolding a Claude Agent SDK project involves an interactive setup that guides language selection, installs the latest SDK dependencies, generates the project structure, and verifies functionality by running language-specific agents.

Setting up environment variables for a Claude agent application is handled through automated project scaffolding, which configures the necessary environment settings and adds starter code for TypeScript or Python agents.

Verifying a Claude Agent SDK app runs without errors is achieved through a built-in verification step that executes language-specific verifier agents to confirm the setup works before the process finishes.

The Claude Agent SDK setup process supports both TypeScript and Python, allowing users to select their preferred language during an interactive questionnaire that configures the project and installs dependencies.

Creating a Claude Agent SDK project without an interactive setup requires trial and error because choosing a language, managing dependencies, and configuring environment variables manually involves many disconnected steps.

The new-sdk-app skill provides guided setup for Claude Agent SDK apps, applying interactive prompts to handle language selection, dependency installation, project scaffolding, and execution of verification agents to ensure the code runs.
