Claude Performance Tuning
Optimizes Anthropic API response times through advanced latency reduction strategies like streaming and prompt caching.
This skill provides comprehensive guidance and implementation patterns for maximizing the speed and efficiency of Claude-powered applications. It covers essential techniques for reducing Time to First Token (TTFT) and increasing Tokens Per Second (TPS), including model routing to Haiku for speed-critical tasks, implementing ephemeral prompt caching for large system prompts, and optimizing connection management to minimize overhead. Ideal for developers building real-time AI features where latency directly impacts the end-user experience and operational costs.
