Claude Reference Architectures
Implements production-ready architecture patterns for Claude API integrations including synchronous, asynchronous, and multi-model routing systems.
This skill provides a comprehensive blueprint for developers building robust LLM-powered applications using Anthropic's Claude models. It offers three validated architectural patterns: simple synchronous gateways for interactive tools, scalable queue-based processing for high-volume background tasks, and cost-efficient multi-model routing that leverages Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus based on task complexity. By incorporating standardized project layouts, error handling strategies, and circuit breaker patterns, it ensures that Claude integrations are performant, reliable, and cost-effective in production environments.
