Does it provide language-specific code examples?

Yes, it detects your project structure to provide implementation examples for Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java/Kotlin/Scala, Go, Ruby, C#, and PHP.

What is Adaptive Thinking in this context?

Adaptive Thinking is a feature for Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 where the model dynamically decides how much reasoning effort is required for a task, replacing the deprecated fixed budget_tokens system.

When should I use the Agent SDK vs the Claude API?

Use the Agent SDK when you need built-in file/web/terminal access and MCP support. Use the Claude API for standard workflows, classification, or when you want to orchestrate your own custom tool loops.

Which models does this skill support?

This skill primarily targets Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Claude Haiku 4.5, ensuring you use the correct model IDs and latest reasoning features like adaptive thinking.

API Development

Builds and optimizes LLM-powered applications using the Claude API, Anthropic SDK, and Agent SDK across multiple programming languages.

The Claude API skill is a specialized resource for developers integrating Anthropic's models into their software. It provides domain-specific guidance on choosing the right architecture—from simple message completion to complex agentic workflows—and automatically detects project languages like Python, TypeScript, Java, and Go to offer relevant implementation patterns. By defaulting to Claude Opus 4.6 with adaptive thinking and optimized effort parameters, it ensures that your AI integrations leverage the highest reasoning capabilities while managing streaming, tool-use loops, and context compaction for long-running conversations.
