hivemind: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/claude-api/SKILL.md

claude-api is a skill for Claude Code from cohen-liel/hivemind. It costs 84 tokens per session (4,382 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of claude-api, Apache-2.0.

Guidance for building applications with Claude, Anthropic's family of AI models, using its API or software libraries. It covers choosing an integration approach and working in Python or TypeScript.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when code imports Anthropic libraries or when building an application that sends requests to Claude or uses Anthropic's Agent SDK.
Why use it?
It helps developers connect their application to Claude without guessing which API patterns or language-specific instructions apply.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool; positional $N argument.

This is cohen-liel/hivemind's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on hivemind itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything hivemind configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-api scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Building LLM-Powered Applications with Claude

This skill helps you build LLM-powered applications with Claude. Choose the right surface based on your needs, detect the project language, then read the relevant language-specific documentation.

Defaults

Unless the user requests otherwise:

For the Claude model version, please use Claude Opus 4.6, which you can access via the exact model string claude-opus-4-6. Please default to using adaptive thinking (thinking: {type: "adaptive"}) for anything remotely complicated. And finally, please default to streaming for any request that may involve long input, long output, or high max_tokens — it prevents hitting request timeouts. Use the SDK's .get_final_message() / .finalMessage() helper to get the complete response if you don't need to handle individual stream events


Language Detection

Before reading code examples, determine which language the user is working in:

  1. Look at project files to infer the language:

    • *.py, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, setup.py, PipfilePython — read from python/
    • *.ts, *.tsx, package.json, tsconfig.jsonTypeScript — read from typescript/
    • *.js, *.jsx (no .ts files present) → TypeScript — JS uses the same SDK, read from typescript/
    • *.java, pom.xml, build.gradleJava — read from java/
    • *.kt, *.kts, build.gradle.ktsJava — Kotlin uses the Java SDK, read from java/
    • *.scala, build.sbtJava — Scala uses the Java SDK, read from java/
    • *.go, go.modGo — read from go/
    • *.rb, GemfileRuby — read from ruby/
    • *.cs, *.csprojC# — read from csharp/
    • *.php, composer.jsonPHP — read from php/
  2. If multiple languages detected (e.g., both Python and TypeScript files):

    • Check which language the user's current file or question relates to
    • If still ambiguous, ask: "I detected both Python and TypeScript files. Which language are you using for the Claude API integration?"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
