Does this skill support both Python and TypeScript?

Yes, it provides full implementation examples and best practices for both the Python 'anthropic' library and the '@anthropic-ai/sdk' for TypeScript.

What is the 'Extended Thinking' feature included in this skill?

It covers the implementation of Claude's thinking block, which allows the model to perform deeper reasoning with a dedicated token budget before providing a final answer.

Does it cover Claude's vision capabilities?

Yes, it provides code snippets for base64 encoding and sending images to Claude for visual analysis and diagram interpretation.

How can I reduce API latency and costs?

This skill includes specific patterns for Prompt Caching to reduce input costs by up to 90% and Batch API usage for 50% cost reduction on non-time-sensitive tasks.
