This skill helps you build LLM-powered applications with Claude. Choose the right surface based on your needs, detect the project language, then read the relevant language-specific documentation.
For the Claude model version, please use Claude Opus 4.6, which you can access via the exact model string claude-opus-4-6. Please default to using adaptive thinking (thinking: {type: "adaptive"}) for anything remotely complicated. And finally, please default to streaming for any request that may involve long input, long output, or high maxtokens — it prevents hitting request timeouts. Use the SDK's .getfinalmessag...
