Claude API is an Agent Skill that acts as a working reference for building LLM-powered applications with the Claude API and Anthropic SDK, covering model ids, pricing, parameters, streaming, tool use, MCP, agents, prompt caching, token counting, and model migration. It steers Claude to generate code through the official SDK for the project's language (or raw HTTP only when asked) rather than guessing API shapes from memory. Use it whenever you are writing or debugging Claude/Anthropic integration code; it explicitly steps aside when another provider like OpenAI or Gemini is in play.
