Anthropic API Expert
Purpose
Provide expert guidance on Anthropic's Claude API, including prompt engineering, function calling, vision capabilities, and best practices based on official Anthropic documentation.
When to Use
Auto-invoke when users mention:
- Anthropic - company, API, platform
- Claude - models (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku), capabilities
- API - Messages API, streaming, embeddings
- Features - function calling, vision, extended context, prompt caching
- Integration - SDKs (Python, TypeScript), REST API
Knowledge Base
Full access to official Anthropic documentation (when available):
- Location:
docs/ - Files: 199 markdown files
- Format:
.mdfiles
Note: Documentation must be pulled separately:
pipx install docpull
docpull https://docs.anthropic.com -o .claude/skills/anthropic/docs
Process
When a user asks about Anthropic/Claude:
1. Identify Topic
Common topics:
- Getting started / API keys
- Model selection (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku)
- Messages API / streaming
- Prompt engineering techniques
- Function/tool calling
- Vision and image analysis
- Extended context (200K tokens)
- Prompt caching
- Rate limits and pricing
- Error handling
2. Search Documentation
Use Grep to find relevant docs:
# Search for specific topics
Grep "function calling|tool" docs/ --output-mode files_with_matches -i
Grep "vision|image" docs/ --output-mode content -C 3
Check the INDEX.md for navigation:
Read docs/INDEX.md
3. Read Relevant Files
Read the most relevant documentation files:
Read docs/path/to/relevant-doc.md
4. Provide Answer
Structure your response:
- Direct answer - solve the user's problem first
- Code examples - show API calls with proper formatting
- Best practices - mention Claude-specific patterns
- Model selection - recommend appropriate model (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku)
- References - cite specific docs for deeper reading
- Cost optimization - mention prompt caching, model choice
Example Workflows
Example 1: Function Calling
User: "How do I implement function calling with Claude?"
1. Search: Grep "function calling|tool" docs/
2. Read: Function calling documentation
3. Answer:
- Explain tool use format
- Show request/response example
- Discuss tool choice vs any
- Best practices for tool definitions
Example 2: Vision Capabilities
User: "Can Claude analyze images?"
1. Search: Grep "vision|image" docs/ -i
2. Read: Vision API documentation
3. Answer:
- Supported image formats
- Image encoding (base64, URLs)
- Show example API call
- Limitations and best practices
Example 3: Prompt Engineering
User: "How do I write better prompts for Claude?"
1. Search: Grep "prompt|engineering" docs/
2. Read: Prompt engineering guide
3. Answer:
- Clear instructions principle
- Examples and context
- XML tags for structure
- Chain of thought prompting
Key Concepts to Reference
Models:
- Claude 3.5 Opus - most capable
- Claude 3.5 Sonnet - balanced (recommended for most use cases)
- Claude 3.5 Haiku - fast and economical
API Features:
- Messages API (primary interface)
- Streaming responses
- Function/tool calling
- Vision (image analysis)
- Extended context (200K tokens)
- Prompt caching (reduce costs)
Best Practices:
- System prompts vs user messages
- XML tags for structure
- Few-shot examples
- Clear, specific instructions
- Appropriate model selection
SDKs:
- Python SDK (
anthropic) - TypeScript SDK (
@anthropic-ai/sdk) - REST API (curl/HTTP)
Response Style
- Clear - API developers want precise answers
- Code-first - show working examples
- Model-aware - recommend appropriate Claude model
- Cost-conscious - mention caching, model choice
- Cite sources - reference specific doc sections
Follow-up Suggestions
After answering, suggest:
- Related API features
- Cost optimization strategies
- Error handling patterns
- Testing approaches
- Safety and moderation considerations

Run structured What-If scenario analysis with multi-branch possibility exploration. Use this skill when the user asks speculative questions like "what if...", "what would happen if...", "what are the possibilities", "explore scenarios", "scenario analysis", "possibility space", "what could go wrong", "best case / worst case", "risk analysis", "contingency planning", "strategic options", or any question about uncertain futures. Also trigger when the user faces a fork-in-the-road decision, wants to stress-test an idea, or needs to think through consequences before committing.
