Claude API TypeScript illustration showing streaming code and tool-result structure; events are a simulated replay.
Project screenshotsAbout this Skill
Use language-specific Claude API and SDK references for streaming, tools and agent integrations. An Anthropic account and credentials for live calls; SDK dependencies and API charges depend on the task.
Why we picked it
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.
What it helps with
- 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.”
The preview is an original SkillHey illustration of this task. Its content is fictional and is not an official Anthropic screenshot or an agent benchmark.
Second example
Try this brief: “Show how a tool result is returned to Claude after the assistant requests a tool.”
