Overview

About This Skill

How to Use

["Set up the Claude Code API Gateway in your environment. Follow the [official documentation](https://docs.claude.ai/api) to configure the endpoint and authentication.","Authenticate with your API key. Store it securely using environment variables or a secrets manager. Example: `export CLAUDE_API_KEY=\"your_api_key_here\"`.","Send a POST request to the API endpoint with your task. Use the `Content-Type: application/json` header and include your task details in the body. Example using curl:\n```bash\ncurl -X POST https://api.claude.ai/v1/chat/completions \\\n -H \"Authorization: Bearer $CLAUDE_API_KEY\" \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d '{\"model\": \"claude-code\", \"messages\": [{\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"Analyze the codebase in /project/backend for security vulnerabilities.\"}]}'\n```","Process the response. The API returns structured data (e.g., JSON) with task results, which you can parse and use in your workflows. For streaming tasks, handle the response chunks appropriately.","Integrate the API into your automation pipelines. Use tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or custom scripts to trigger the API based on events (e.g., code commits, pull requests)."]
