reference-sdk

reference-sdk is a skill for Claude Code from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. It costs 11 tokens per session (362 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for checking how selected software development kits implement features, using reference implementations from other libraries. An SDK is a library that helps code communicate with a service or platform.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare streaming, tool calling, structured output, API, and schema-validation approaches in the listed reference SDKs.
Why use it?
It provides examples of established implementation patterns when you are building SDK features or investigating provider-specific behavior.

About the project

Continuous-Claude-v3 is a Claude Code development environment that preserves working context between sessions, coordinates specialized agents, and stores project knowledge through ledgers, handoffs, and analysis tools. It is for people using Claude Code on ongoing or complex software work. Its catalogue entries are the skills, agents, hooks, plugin, and setting that provide its workflows and orchestration.

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

reference-sdk scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 9d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Reference SDK Check

When implementing SDK features or debugging provider-specific issues, check reference implementations.

When to Use

  • Implementing SDK features
  • Debugging provider-specific issues
  • Understanding how other libraries solve similar problems
  • "How does Vercel AI SDK do X?"
  • "Check Anthropic SDK for Y"

Commands

Use btca ask to check how reference SDKs implement similar features:

# Check Vercel AI SDK for streaming patterns
btca ask -r vercel-ai -q "How does streamObject work?"

# Check Anthropic SDK for tool calling
btca ask -r anthropic-sdk -q "How are tools defined and called?"

# Check Zod for validation patterns
btca ask -r zod -q "How does safeParse handle errors?"

Configured Resources

  • vercel-ai - Streaming, tool calling, structured output
  • anthropic-sdk - Anthropic API patterns
  • zod - Schema validation

Add more: btca config resources add -n <name> -t git -u <url> -b <branch>

When to Check

  1. Before implementing - See how others solved similar problems
  2. When debugging - Find how reference code handles edge cases
  3. Multi-provider support - Compare implementations across SDKs
  4. Validation patterns - Check idiomatic approaches

Don't Use For

  • Documentation lookups (use /nia-docs instead)
  • Simple API questions (use WebSearch)
  • Project-specific patterns (use Grep/Glob)
Changes

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.
