Claude API: verify SDK usage by language
Confirm provider and language, then check API, tools, and model details against Anthropic sources.
Skills
Confirm that the task targets Claude, and inspect whether the project already uses OpenAI or another provider. Do not rewrite a non-Anthropic integration to call Anthropic. Read the skill’s reference for the project language, then verify model IDs, parameters, streaming, tool use, MCP, caching, and migration details against current official sources. Prefer the official Anthropic SDK for that language; use raw HTTP only when the user requests it or no SDK exists. Keep credentials in environment variables or a managed secret store. Live API calls may incur charges. Model and API surfaces change quickly, so version notes in this pinned skill are not proof of current status.
Permissions
Prerequisites
- For Claude API or Anthropic SDK implementation and troubleshooting, or model, pricing, parameter, tool, streaming, and cache questions.
- Identify the target language and provider first; do not switch a project using another provider to Anthropic.
Permissions
- May inspect the project and edit Claude integration code; credentials must come from the local environment and must not be exposed.
- Calls through an installed SDK reach Anthropic and may incur charges or remote processing.
Limitations
The skill routes by language-specific references and warns that model IDs, API fields, and SDK versions change; verify material claims against current official sources.
