| description | Use Claude Opus 4.6 with extended thinking (max effort) + web search for hard research problems (e.g. analyzing experiment results, designing methods, deciding what to do next, doing math/theory, literature review, etc). |
When this skill is invoked, call the Claude Opus 4.6 API with extended thinking using Python:
python3 -c "
import os, json, urllib.request, sys
problem = '''QUERY_HERE'''
data = json.dumps({
'model': 'claude-opus-4-6-20250310',
'max_tokens': 16000,
'thinking': {'type': 'adaptive'},
'output_config': {'effort': 'max'},
'temperature': 1,
'messages': [{'role': 'user', 'content': problem}]
}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request(
'https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages',
data=data,
headers={
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'x-api-key': os.environ['ANTHROPIC_API_KEY'],
'anthropic-version': '2023-06-01'
}
)
try:
with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=1200) as resp:
result = json.loads(resp.read())
for block in result.get('content', []):
if block.get('type') == 'thinking':
print('<thinking>')
print(block.get('thinking', ''))
print('</thinking>')
print()
elif block.get('type') == 'text':
print(block.get('text', ''))
except urllib.error.HTTPError as e:
print(f'Error {e.code}: {e.read().decode()}', file=sys.stderr)
sys.exit(1)
"
Replace QUERY_HERE with the actual query. For long context queries, include all relevant data in the problem string.
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable must be setPresent the full response including thinking process to the user.
