claude-api
Build with Claude Messages API using structured outputs for guaranteed JSON schema validation. Covers prompt caching (90% savings), streaming SSE, tool use, and model deprecations. Prevents 16 documented errors. Use when: building chatbots/agents, troubleshooting rate_limit_error, prompt caching issues, streaming SSE parsing errors, MCP timeout issues, or structured output hallucinations.

About claude-api
claude-api is a specialized agent skill created by jezweb that extends AI coding assistants with enhanced capabilities. Agent skills provide context, workflows, and specialized knowledge that help AI assistants perform specific tasks more effectively than general-purpose AI alone.

How to use claude-api
Once installed, claude-api becomes available in your AI coding environment automatically. Your AI assistant will use the skill's instructions and knowledge whenever relevant tasks arise in your workflow. You can install it at the project level (available only in a specific project) or globally (available across all your projects).
Use the install panel on this page to copy a one-line command for your preferred AI client. The skill files are downloaded and placed in the appropriate directory — no additional configuration is required.
Compatible AI clients
claude-api works with multiple AI coding assistants including Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, and other agents that support the skills format. Each client stores skills in a slightly different directory, but the installation command handles this automatically.
What are agent skills?
Agent skills are reusable instruction sets that give AI coding assistants new capabilities. Unlike MCP servers that provide tools and API connections, skills provide context, workflows, and domain-specific knowledge. Think of skills as specialized training for your AI assistant — they help it understand particular frameworks, coding patterns, or development workflows.

bfollington
This skill should be used when working on Godot Engine projects. It provides specialized knowledge of Godot's file formats (.gd, .tscn, .tres), architecture patterns (component-based, signal-driven, resource-based), common pitfalls, validation tools, code templates, and CLI workflows. The `godot` command is available for running the game, validating scripts, importing resources, and exporting builds. Use this skill for tasks involving Godot game development, debugging scene/resource files, implementing game systems, or creating new Godot components.
nano-banana-pro
garg-aayush
Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) API. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports both text-to-image generation and image-to-image editing with configurable resolution (1K default, 2K, or 4K for high resolution). DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill directly with the --input-image parameter.
