How does this skill save on API costs?

By reducing context token usage by 65% and API round-trips by 60%, it minimizes the overhead associated with complex, multi-step AI tasks.

What is Programmatic Tool Calling (PTC)?

PTC allows Claude to write and execute Python code that calls multiple tools internally, rather than making separate API round-trips for every single tool interaction.

What are the technical requirements?

It requires the ptc-wrapper to be installed in your local Claude tools directory and utilizes the advanced-tool-use-2025-11-20 beta header.

Can I use this with any MCP server?

Yes, while it is optimized for tools like flaresolverr and browsermcp, the PTC wrapper is designed to integrate with various MCP servers via stdio.

Is there a CLI for this skill?

Yes, the skill includes a dedicated CLI wrapper (ptc_wrapper.cli) for scraping, browser automation, and running custom PTC prompts.

Browser Automation

Optimizes complex multi-tool workflows and browser automation through Programmatic Tool Calling to significantly reduce API latency and context usage.

About

PTC Orchestration is a high-performance skill designed for Claude Code that leverages Programmatic Tool Calling (PTC) to chain multiple tool operations into a single execution loop. By allowing Claude to write Python code that orchestrates tools like flaresolverr and browsermcp, it achieves a 60% reduction in API round-trips and a 65% reduction in token consumption. This skill is ideal for developers needing to perform high-speed multi-URL scraping, complex browser navigation sequences, or any workflow involving three or more sequential tool calls.
