Anthropic SDK Upgrade & Migration
Automates the process of upgrading Anthropic SDKs and migrating legacy code to the modern Claude Messages API.
This skill streamlines the transition between Anthropic API versions and SDK releases for both Python and TypeScript environments. It identifies current versions, manages branch creation for safe upgrades, handles the migration from the deprecated Text Completions API to the Messages API, and verifies implementation with live test calls. It is particularly useful for developers looking to adopt new features like tool use, prompt caching, or batches while ensuring backward compatibility and following Anthropic's architectural best practices.
