# Claude Opus API Suite
> Skill by [ara.so](https://ara.so) — Claude Code Skills collection.
## Overview
The Claude Opus API Suite is a comprehensive toolkit for integrating Claude AI models (4.6 Opus, 3.5 Sonnet) into development workflows. It provides API wrappers, authentication handlers, prompt templates, and utilities for AI-driven pair programming, code generation, architectural reasoning, and complex debugging tasks.

```
## API Integration
### Python Usage
```python
import os
from claude_suite import ClaudeClient, ModelType
# Initialize client
client = ClaudeClient(
api_key=os.getenv("CLAUDE_API_KEY"),
model=ModelType.OPUS_4_6
)
# Basic code generation
response = client.generate(
prompt="Write a Python function to calculate Fibonacci numbers",
max_tokens=2048,
temperature=0.7
)
print(response.content)
# Advanced reasoning task
code_review = client.analyze_code(
code="""
def process_data(items):
result = []
for i in items:
if i > 0:
result.append(i * 2)
return result
""",
task="Review this code for performance issues and suggest improvements"
)
print(code_review.suggestions)
```
### Advanced API Features
```python
from claude_suite import ClaudeClient, ConversationManager
client = ClaudeClient(api_key=os.getenv("CLAUDE_API_KEY"))
# Multi-turn conversation
conversation = ConversationManager(client)
# First message
response1 = conversation.send(
"I need to design a REST API for a blog system"
)
# Follow-up in same context
response2 = conversation.send(
"Now add authentication using JWT"
)
# Access full conversation history
history = conversation.get_history()
```
### JavaScript/Node.js Usage
```javascript
const { ClaudeClient, ModelType } = require('claude-suite');
// Initialize client
const client = new ClaudeClient({
apiKey: process.env.CLAUDE_API_KEY,
model: ModelType.OPUS_4_6
});
// Generate code
async function generateCode() {
const response = await client.generate({
prompt: 'Create a React component for user authentication',
maxTokens: 2048,
temperature: 0.7
});
console.log(response.content);
}
// Analyze architecture
async function analyzeArchitecture() {
const analysis = await client.analyzeArchitecture({
description: 'Microservices architecture with event-driven communication',
requirements: [
'High availability',
'Scalability',
'Data consistency'
]
});
console.log(analysis.recommendations);
}
generateCode();
```
## Configuration
### Config File Structure
Create `claude-config.json`:
```json
{
"api": {
"base_url": "https://api.anthropic.com/v1",
"timeout": 30000,
"retry_attempts": 3
},
"models": {
"default": "claude-opus-4-6",
"fallback": "claude-3-5-sonnet"
},
"generation": {
"max_tokens": 4096,
"temperature": 0.7,
"top_p": 0.9
},
"prompts": {
"template_dir": "./prompts",
"use_artifacts": true
}
}
```
### Loading Configuration
```python
from claude_suite import ClaudeClient, load_config
# Load from config file
config = load_config("claude-config.json")
client = ClaudeClient.from_config(config)
# Override specific settings
client.set_temperature(0.5)
client.set_max_tokens(8192)
```
## Prompt Templates & Artifacts
### Using Curated Prompts
```python
from claude_suite import PromptLibrary
library = PromptLibrary(template_dir="./prompts")
# Load pre-built prompt for code review
code_review_prompt = library.get("code-review-deep")
response = client.generate(
prompt=code_review_prompt.format(
code=your_code,
language="python",
focus="security and performance"
)
)
```
### Custom Prompt Artifacts
```python
from claude_suite import ArtifactBuilder
# Create structured prompt with artifacts
artifact = ArtifactBuilder()
artifact.add_context("You are an expert systems architect")
artifact.add_constraint("Must follow microservices best practices")
artifact.add_example({
"input": "User registration service",
"output": "RESTful API with /register, /verify endpoints"
})
prompt = artifact.build()
response = client.generate(prompt=prompt)
```
## Common Patterns
### Pair Programming Assistant
```python
from claude_suite import PairProgrammer
programmer = PairProgrammer(
client=client,
language="python",
style="functional"
)
# Implement feature with AI assistance
implementation = programmer.implement_feature(
description="Add caching layer to API endpoints",
existing_code=current_codebase,
constraints=["Use Redis", "Implement TTL"]
)
print(implementation.code)
print(implementation.tests)
print(implementation.documentation)
```
### Bug Fixing Workflow
```python
from claude_suite import BugFixer
fixer = BugFixer(client=client)
# Analyze and fix bug
fix = fixer.analyze_and_fix(
error_message="TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable",
stack_trace=stack_trace_text,
source_code=buggy_code,
context="Function should handle null values"
)
print(fix.explanation)
print(fix.fixed_code)
print(fix.test_cases)
```
### Batch Processing
```python
from claude_suite import BatchProcessor
processor = BatchProcessor(client=client)
# Process multiple tasks
tasks = [
{"type": "refactor", "code": code1, "goal": "improve readability"},
{"type": "optimize", "code": code2, "goal": "reduce complexity"},
{"type": "document", "code": code3, "goal": "add docstrings"}
]
results = processor.process_batch(
tasks=tasks,
parallel=True,
max_workers=3
)
for result in results:
print(f"Task: {result.task_type}")
print(f"Output: {result.output}")
```
## API Endpoints Reference
### Direct API Calls
```python
import requests
import os
api_key = os.getenv("CLAUDE_API_KEY")
headers = {
"x-api-key": api_key,
"anthropic-version": "2023-06-01",
"content-type": "application/json"
}
# Messages API
response = requests.post(
"https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages",
headers=headers,
json={
"model": "claude-opus-4-6",
"max_tokens": 4096,
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Explain how to implement OAuth2 in Python"
}
]
}
)
data = response.json()
print(data["content"][0]["text"])
```
### Streaming Responses
```python
from claude_suite import ClaudeClient
client = ClaudeClient(api_key=os.getenv("CLAUDE_API_KEY"))
# Stream long responses
for chunk in client.stream(
prompt="Write a comprehensive guide to async programming in Python",
max_tokens=8192
):
print(chunk.delta, end="", flush=True)
```
## Error Handling & Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**Authentication Errors**
```python
from claude_suite import ClaudeClient, AuthenticationError
try:
client = ClaudeClient(api_key=os.getenv("CLAUDE_API_KEY"))
response = client.generate(prompt="Test")
except AuthenticationError as e:
print(f"API key invalid or expired: {e}")
print("Verify CLAUDE_API_KEY environment variable")
```
**Rate Limiting**
```python
from claude_suite import RateLimitError
import time
def safe_generate(client, prompt, max_retries=3):
for attempt in range(max_retries):
try:
return client.generate(prompt=prompt)
except RateLimitError as e:
if attempt < max_retries - 1:
wait_time = e.retry_after or (2 ** attempt)
print(f"Rate limited. Waiting {wait_time}s...")
time.sleep(wait_time)
else:
raise
```
**Token Limit Exceeded**
```python
from claude_suite import TokenLimitError
try:
response = client.generate(
prompt=very_long_prompt,
max_tokens=100000 # Too large
)
except TokenLimitError as e:
print(f"Token limit exceeded: {e.limit}")
# Split into smaller chunks
chunks = split_prompt(very_long_prompt, chunk_size=4096)
results = [client.generate(prompt=chunk) for chunk in chunks]
```
### Debugging Mode
```python
from claude_suite import ClaudeClient
client = ClaudeClient(
api_key=os.getenv("CLAUDE_API_KEY"),
debug=True,
log_file="claude-debug.log"
)
# All API calls will be logged
response = client.generate(prompt="Test debugging")
```
## Best Practices
1. **Always use environment variables for API keys**
```bash
export CLAUDE_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
```
2. **Implement proper error handling**
- Catch specific exceptions
- Implement retry logic for transient errors
- Log errors for debugging
3. **Optimize token usage**
- Use appropriate `max_tokens` values
- Leverage streaming for long responses
- Cache repeated queries
4. **Use appropriate models**
- Claude 4.6 Opus: Complex reasoning, architecture design
- Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Faster responses, routine tasks
5. **Version control prompts**
- Store prompt templates separately
- Track changes to prompt engineering
- A/B test different approaches
