Claude Api
Skill ActiveBuild, debug, and optimize Claude API / Anthropic SDK apps. Apps built with this skill should include prompt caching. Also handles migrating existing Claude API code between Claude model versions (4.5 → 4.6, 4.6 → 4.7, retired-model replacements). TRIGGER when: code imports `anthropic`/`@anthropic-ai/sdk`; user asks for the Claude API, Anthropic SDK, or Managed Agents; user adds/modifies/tunes a Claude feature (caching, thinking, compaction, tool use, batch, files, citations, memory) or model (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku) in a file; questions about prompt caching / cache hit rate in an Anthropic SDK project. SKIP: file imports `openai`/other-provider SDK, filename like `*-openai.py`/`*-generic.py`, provider-neutral code, general programming/ML.
To empower developers to efficiently build, optimize, and maintain applications leveraging the Claude API and Anthropic SDK, ensuring best practices and smooth transitions between model versions.
Features
- Build and optimize Claude API/Anthropic SDK applications
- Implement prompt caching strategies
- Migrate Claude API code between model versions
- Guidance on Claude features (caching, thinking, tool use, etc.)
- Default to Opus 4.7 model with adaptive thinking and streaming
Use Cases
- Use when building new applications with the Anthropic SDK.
- Use when debugging or optimizing existing Claude API integrations.
- Use when migrating Claude API code to newer model versions (e.g., 4.5 to 4.7).
- Use when implementing prompt caching or tuning its hit rate in an Anthropic SDK project.
Non-Goals
- Developing applications with OpenAI or other third-party SDKs.
- Writing provider-neutral code.
- General programming or machine learning tasks outside of Claude API integration.
Trust
- warning:Issues AttentionThere are 135 open issues and 11 closed issues in the last 90 days, indicating a very low closure rate and potentially slow maintainer response.

Cli Creator
100Build a composable CLI for Codex from API docs, an OpenAPI spec, existing curl examples, an SDK, a web app, an admin tool, or a local script. Use when the user wants Codex to create a command-line tool that can run from any repo, expose composable read/write commands, return stable JSON, manage auth, and pair with a companion skill.
Context Mode Ops
100Manage context-mode GitHub issues, PRs, releases, and marketing with parallel subagent army. Orchestrates 10-20 dynamic agents per task. Use when triaging issues, reviewing PRs, releasing versions, writing LinkedIn posts, announcing releases, fixing bugs, merging contributions, validating ENV vars, testing adapters, or syncing branches.
Fixflow
100Execute coding tasks with a strict delivery workflow: build a full plan, implement one step at a time, run tests continuously, and commit by default after each step (`per_step`). Support explicit commit policy overrides (`final_only`, `milestone`) and optional BDD (Given/When/Then) when users ask for behavior-driven delivery or requirements are unclear.
Kotlin Mcp Server Generator
100Generate a complete Kotlin MCP server project with proper structure, dependencies, and implementation using the official io.modelcontextprotocol:kotlin-sdk library.
Spec to Repo
100Use when the user says 'build me an app', 'create a project from this spec', 'scaffold a new repo', 'generate a starter', 'turn this idea into code', 'bootstrap a project', 'I have requirements and need a codebase', or provides a natural-language project specification and expects a complete, runnable repository. Stack-agnostic: Next.js, FastAPI, Rails, Go, Rust, Flutter, and more.
