Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Reference for the Claude API / Anthropic SDK — model ids, pricing, params, streaming, tool use, MCP, agents, caching, token counting, model migration. TRIGGER — read BEFORE opening the target file; don't skip because it "looks like a one-liner" — whenever: the prompt names Claude/Anthropic in any form (Claude, Anthropic, Fable, Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, `anthropic`, `@anthropic-ai`, `claude-*`, `us.anthropic.*`, `[1m]`); the user asks about an LLM (pricing/model choice/limits/caching) — never answer…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'claude-api' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'claude-api' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named claude-api already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/thevibeworks/claude-code-docs' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '81faceeb5e86ea1635bc4beb592030e7f0df8aeb' -- 'content/github/skills/skills/claude-api' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'content/github/skills/skills/claude-api' ~/.agents/skills/'claude-api' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'claude-api' ~/.claude/skills/'claude-api' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
