+ # Agent SDK overview
16
+
17
+ > Build production AI agents with Claude Code as a library
18
+
19
+ <Note>
20
+ The Claude Code SDK has been renamed to the Claude Agent SDK. If you're migrating from the old SDK, see the [Migration Guide](/en/agent-sdk/migration-guide).
21
+ </Note>
22
+
23
+ Build AI agents that autonomously read files, run commands, search the web, edit code, and more. The Agent SDK gives you the same tools, agent loop, and context management that power Claude Code, programmable in Python and TypeScript.
24
+
25
+ <CodeGroup>
26
+ ```python Python theme={null}
27
+ import asyncio
28
+ from claude_agent_sdk import query, ClaudeAgentOptions
29
+
30
+
31
+ async def main():
32
+ async for message in query(
33
+ prompt="Find and fix the bug in auth.py",
34
+ options=ClaudeAgentOptions(allowed_tools=["Read", "Edit", "Bash"]),
35
+ ):
36
+ print(message) # Claude reads the file, finds the bug, edits it
37
+
38
+
39
+ asyncio.run(main())
40
+ ```
41
+
42
+ ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
43
+ import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";
44
+
45
+ for await (const message of query({
46
+ prompt: "Find and fix the bug in auth.py",
47
+ options: { allowedTools: ["Read", "Edit", "Bash"] }
48
+ })) {
49
+ console.log(message); // Claude reads the file, finds the bug, edits it
50
+ }
51
+ ```
52
+ </CodeGroup>
53
+
54
+ The Agent SDK includes built-in tools for reading files, running commands, and editing code, so your agent can start working immediately without you implementing tool execution. Dive into the quickstart or explore real agents built with the SDK:

83
+ </Step>
84
+
85
+ <Step title="Set your API key">
86
+ Get an API key from the [Console](https://platform.claude.com/), then set it as an environment variable:
87
+
88
+ ```bash theme={null}
89
+ export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key
90
+ ```
91
+
92
+ The SDK also supports authentication via third-party API providers:
93
+
94
+ * **Amazon Bedrock**: set `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK=1` environment variable and configure AWS credentials
95
+ * **Google Vertex AI**: set `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX=1` environment variable and configure Google Cloud credentials
96
+ * **Microsoft Azure**: set `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_FOUNDRY=1` environment variable and configure Azure credentials
97
+
98
+ See the setup guides for [Bedrock](/en/amazon-bedrock), [Vertex AI](/en/google-vertex-ai), or [Azure AI Foundry](/en/microsoft-foundry) for details.
99
+
100
+ <Note>
101
+ Unless previously approved, Anthropic does not allow third party developers to offer claude.ai login or rate limits for their products, including agents built on the Claude Agent SDK. Please use the API key authentication methods described in this document instead.
102
+ </Note>

105
+ <Step title="Run your first agent">
106

142
+ ## Capabilities
143
+
144
+ Everything that makes Claude Code powerful is available in the SDK:
145
+
146
+ <Tabs>
147
+ <Tab title="Built-in tools">
148
+ Your agent can read files, run commands, and search codebases out of the box. Key tools include:
149
+
150
+ | Tool | What it does |
151
+ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
152
+ | **Read** | Read any file in the working directory |
153
+ | **Write** | Create new files |
154
+ | **Edit** | Make precise edits to existing files |
155
+ | **Bash** | Run terminal commands, scripts, git operations |
156
+ | **Monitor** | Watch a background script and react to each output line as an event |
157
+ | **Glob** | Find files by pattern (`**/*.ts`, `src/**/*.py`) |
158
+ | **Grep** | Search file contents with regex |
159
+ | **WebSearch** | Search the web for current information |
160
+ | **WebFetch** | Fetch and parse web page content |
161
+ | **[AskUserQuestion](/en/agent-sdk/user-input#handle-clarifying-questions)** | Ask the user clarifying questions with multiple choice options |
162
+
163
+ This example creates an agent that searches your codebase for TODO comments:

199
+ **Available hooks:** `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, `Stop`, `SessionStart`, `SessionEnd`, `UserPromptSubmit`, and more.

477
+
478
+ The SDK also supports Claude Code's filesystem-based configuration. To use these features, set `setting_sources=["project"]` (Python) or `settingSources: ['project']` (TypeScript) in your options.
479
+
480
+ | Feature | Description | Location |
481
+ | ------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
482
+ | [Skills](/en/agent-sdk/skills) | Specialized capabilities defined in Markdown | `.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md` |
483
+ | [Slash commands](/en/agent-sdk/slash-commands) | Custom commands for common tasks | `.claude/commands/*.md` |
484
+ | [Memory](/en/agent-sdk/modifying-system-prompts) | Project context and instructions | `CLAUDE.md` or `.claude/CLAUDE.md` |
485

487
+ ## Compare the Agent SDK to other Claude tools
488
+
489
+ The Claude Platform offers multiple ways to build with Claude. Here's how the Agent SDK fits in:
490
+
491
+ <Tabs>
492
+ <Tab title="Agent SDK vs Client SDK">
493
+ The [Anthropic Client SDK](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/client-sdks) gives you direct API access: you send prompts and implement tool execution yourself. The **Agent SDK** gives you Claude with built-in tool execution.
494
+
495
+ With the Client SDK, you implement a tool loop. With the Agent SDK, Claude handles it:
496
+
497
+ <CodeGroup>
498
+ ```python Python theme={null}
499
+ # Client SDK: You implement the tool loop
500
+ response = client.messages.create(...)
501
+ while response.stop_reason == "tool_use":
502
+ result = your_tool_executor(response.tool_use)
503
+ response = client.messages.create(tool_result=result, **params)
504
+
505
+ # Agent SDK: Claude handles tools autonomously
506
+ async for message in query(prompt="Fix the bug in auth.py"):
507
+ print(message)
508
+ ```
509
+
510
+ ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
511
+ // Client SDK: You implement the tool loop
512
+ let response = await client.messages.create({ ...params });
513
+ while (response.stop_reason === "tool_use") {
514
+ const result = yourToolExecutor(response.tool_use);
515
+ response = await client.messages.create({ tool_result: result, ...params });
516
+ }
517
+
518
+ // Agent SDK: Claude handles tools autonomously
519
+ for await (const message of query({ prompt: "Fix the bug in auth.py" })) {
520
+ console.log(message);
521
+ }
522
+ ```
523
+ </CodeGroup>
524
+ </Tab>
525
+
526
+ <Tab title="Agent SDK vs Claude Code CLI">
527
+ Same capabilities, different interface:
528
+
529
+ | Use case | Best choice |
530
+ | ----------------------- | ----------- |
531
+ | Interactive development | CLI |
532
+ | CI/CD pipelines | SDK |
533
+ | Custom applications | SDK |
534
+ | One-off tasks | CLI |
535
+ | Production automation | SDK |
536
+
537
+ Many teams use both: CLI for daily development, SDK for production. Workflows translate directly between them.

+ ## Branding guidelines
556
+
557
+ For partners integrating the Claude Agent SDK, use of Claude branding is optional. When referencing Claude in your product:
558
+
559
+ **Allowed:**
560
+
561
+ * "Claude Agent" (preferred for dropdown menus)
562

+ # Decision: Project Specialist Directory Structure
2
+
3
+ **Date:** 2026-03-25
4
+ **Status:** Accepted
5
+ **Context:** Refactor to consolidate all specialist assets under `.specialists/`
6
+
7
+ ---
8
+
9
+ ## Decision
10
+
11
+ All specialist-related assets live under `.specialists/` with clear separation:
12
+
13
+ ```
14
+ .specialists/
15
+ ├── default/ # canonical specialist YAMLs (from init)
16
+ ├── user/ # custom specialist YAMLs
17
+ ├── jobs/ # runtime (gitignored)
18
+ └── ready/ # runtime (gitignored)
19
+ ```
20
+
21
+ ## Rationale
22
+
23
+ 1. **Single location** — All specialist-related assets in one place
24
+ 2. **Clear separation** — Default vs user assets clearly distinguished
25
+ 3. **Version control** — Both default and user assets are tracked in git
26
+ 4. **Runtime isolation** — Only `jobs/` and `ready/` are gitignored
27
+
28
+ ## Scan Order
29
+
30
+ The loader scans in order (first wins):
31
+ 1. `.specialists/user/` — user customizations override defaults
32
+ 2. `.specialists/default/` — canonical specialists
33
+ 3. legacy nested paths (`.specialists/user/specialists/`, `.specialists/default/specialists/`) for backward compatibility
34
+
35
+ ## Previous Decision (Superseded)
36
+
37
+ The earlier decision (2026-03-23) to keep `specialists/` at project root has been superseded. All legacy paths have been removed:
38
+ - ~~`specialists/`~~ — removed
39
+ - ~~`.claude/specialists/`~~ — removed
40
+ - ~~`.agent-forge/specialists/`~~ — removed
41
+ - ~~`~/.agents/specialists/`~~ — removed (user scope deprecated)
