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.
