Overview

About This Skill

How to Use

[{"step":"Identify the specific automation task you need to perform (e.g., data retrieval, file processing, API calls).","action":"Use the prompt template to generate a reusable code snippet by filling in [TASK], [SPECIFIC_FUNCTIONALITY], [COMMON_ERRORS], [FUNCTION_NAME], and any other placeholders.","tip":"Be specific about the functionality needed. For example, instead of 'handling errors', specify 'handling rate limiting and authentication failures'."},{"step":"Copy the generated code snippet into your Claude project or automation script.","action":"Replace placeholder values (like API keys) with your actual credentials or configuration. Test the function with sample inputs.","tip":"Use Claude's built-in testing tools to verify the function works as expected before deploying it in production."},{"step":"Integrate the function into your workflow by calling it from other parts of your code or automation pipeline.","action":"For example, if the function fetches invoices, use it in a loop to process each invoice or trigger follow-up actions like sending reminders.","tip":"Add logging to track function calls and errors. Use Claude's logging capabilities to monitor performance."},{"step":"Save the snippet in a shared library or documentation for reuse across your team.","action":"Store the code in a version-controlled repository or Claude's skill library. Document any dependencies or prerequisites.","tip":"Include example usage and edge cases in the documentation to help other team members adopt the snippet quickly."},{"step":"Optimize the snippet based on feedback or changing requirements.","action":"Review the function's performance and error handling. Update the code as needed to accommodate new use cases or improved error handling.","tip":"Use Claude's code review features to get feedback on the snippet's efficiency and readability."}]

Usage Examples

Prompt Template

Generate a reusable code snippet for [TASK] using Claude's API. The snippet should handle [SPECIFIC_FUNCTIONALITY] and include error handling for [COMMON_ERRORS]. Format the code as a Python function named [FUNCTION_NAME] with clear docstrings and type hints. Example: 'Generate a Python function called `fetch_invoices` that retrieves unpaid invoices from a database using Claude's API, handles connection errors, and returns a list of invoice IDs.'

Example Output

```python
import requests
from typing import List, Optional

def fetch_invoices(api_key: str, due_date: str) -> List[dict]:
    """
    Retrieves a list of unpaid invoices from the database via Claude's API.
    
    Args:
        api_key: Claude API key for authentication
        due_date: ISO format date (YYYY-MM-DD) to filter overdue invoices
    
    Returns:
        List of invoice dictionaries with keys: id, customer_name, amount, due_date
        Returns empty list if no invoices found or on error
    
    Raises:
        ValueError: If due_date is not in valid format
    """
    if not validate_date_format(due_date):
        raise ValueError("Invalid date format. Use YYYY-MM-DD")
    
    headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}", "Content-Type": "application/json"}
    payload = {
        "query": "SELECT id, customer_name, amount, due_date FROM invoices WHERE paid=false AND due_date < :due_date",
        "params": {"due_date": due_date}
    }
    
    try:
        response = requests.post(
            "https://api.claude.com/v1/query",
            json=payload,
            headers=headers,
            timeout=10
        )
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response.json().get("results", [])
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print(f"API request failed: {str(e)}")
        return []

def validate_date_format(date_str: str) -> bool:
    """Validates ISO 8601 date format (YYYY-MM-DD)"""
    try:
        from datetime import datetime
        datetime.strptime(date_str, "%Y-%m-%d")
        return True
    except ValueError:
        return False
```

**Usage Example:**
```python
# In your Claude project
auth_key = "claude_sk_xyz123"
overdue_invoices = fetch_invoices(auth_key, "2023-11-15")

if overdue_invoices:
    print(f"Found {len(overdue_invoices)} overdue invoices")
    for invoice in overdue_invoices:
        print(f"Invoice {invoice['id']} for ${invoice['amount']} due {invoice['due_date']}")
else:
    print("No overdue invoices found or API error occurred")
```
