Capturas del proyectoAcerca de este Skill
Anthropic’s Claude API Skill supplies language-specific references for building applications with the Claude API and official SDKs. It directs the agent to check the project language and relevant documentation before implementing features such as streaming, tool use or agent integrations. Live API calls require the user’s own credentials and may incur usage charges.
Por qué lo elegimos
A reference-driven route to Claude application code. It selects the relevant official SDK documentation for the project's language; examples still require an API key, a configured model and usage budget.
Para qué sirve
- Add streaming to a Claude app.
- Implement a tool-use loop.
- Update an Anthropic SDK integration.
How this skill works
1. Choose the relevant SDK or API surface
Identify the project language and confirm the application uses Claude before choosing a supported SDK surface.
2. Implement streaming and tool-use interactions
Read the relevant reference for streaming, tool use or other requested capabilities instead of guessing API parameters.
3. Consult current documentation for model IDs and API changes
Implement the call and handle response blocks, errors and tool results explicitly.
An example task
Try this brief: “Show a TypeScript pattern for streaming a response and handling a tool result.”

Second example

Claude API vs Claude Code: choose the task
Use this Skill when implementing an application that calls Claude or needs Anthropic SDK guidance. It is not a general-purpose provider-neutral SDK guide: preserve the project’s existing provider choices and consult the current official API documentation for model names, pricing and behavior.
Installing a Skill in a coding agent supplies instructions and references; it does not supply an API account or credentials. Keep keys outside the prompt and source files.
