-# Claude API — Python
-
-## Installation
-
-```bash
-pip install anthropic
-```
-
-## Client Initialization
-
-```python
-import anthropic
-
-# Default — resolves credentials from the environment:
-# ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, or ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, or an `ant auth login` profile.
-# Prefer this for local dev; don't hardcode a key.
-client = anthropic.Anthropic()
-
-# Explicit API key (only when you must inject a specific key)
-client = anthropic.Anthropic(api_key="your-api-key")
-
-# Async client
-async_client = anthropic.AsyncAnthropic()
-```
-
----
-
-## Client Configuration
-
-### Per-request overrides
-
-Use `with_options()` to override client settings for a single call without mutating the client:
-
-```python
-client.with_options(timeout=5.0, max_retries=5).messages.create(
-    model="claude-opus-5",
-    max_tokens=1024,
-    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
-)
-```
-
-### Timeouts
-
-Default request timeout is 10 minutes. Pass a float (seconds) or an `httpx.Timeout` for granular control. On timeout the SDK raises `anthropic.APITimeoutError` (and retries per `max_retries`).
-
-```python
-import httpx
-
-client = anthropic.Anthropic(timeout=20.0)
-client = anthropic.Anthropic(
-    timeout=httpx.Timeout(60.0, read=5.0, write=10.0, connect=2.0),
-)
-```
-
-### Retries
-
-The SDK auto-retries connection errors, 408, 409, 429, and ≥500 with exponential backoff (default 2 retries). Set `max_retries` on the client or via `with_options()`; `max_retries=0` disables.
-
-### Async performance (aiohttp backend)
-
-For high-concurrency async workloads, install `anthropic[aiohttp]` and pass `DefaultAioHttpClient` instead of the default httpx backend:
-
-```python
-from anthropic import AsyncAnthropic, DefaultAioHttpClient
-
-async with AsyncAnthropic(http_client=DefaultAioHttpClient()) as client:
-    ...
-```
-
-### Custom HTTP client (proxy, base URL)
-
-Use `DefaultHttpxClient` / `DefaultAsyncHttpxClient` — not raw `httpx.Client` — so the SDK's default timeouts and connection limits are preserved:
-
-```python
-from anthropic import Anthropic, DefaultHttpxClient
-
-client = Anthropic(
-    base_url="http://my.test.server.example.com:8083",  # or ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL env var
-    http_client=DefaultHttpxClient(proxy="http://my.test.proxy.example.com"),
-)
-```
-
-### Logging
-
-Set `ANTHROPIC_LOG=debug` (or `info`) to enable SDK logging via the standard `logging` module.
-

-
-## Basic Message Request
-
-```python
-response = client.messages.create(
-    model="claude-opus-5",
-    max_tokens=16000,
-    messages=[
-        {"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"}
-    ]
-)
-# response.content is a list of content block objects (TextBlock, ThinkingBlock,
-# ToolUseBlock, ...). Check .type before accessing .text.
-for block in response.content:
-    if block.type == "text":
-        print(block.text)
-```
-
----
-
-## System Prompts
-
-```python
-response = client.messages.create(
-    model="claude-opus-5",
-    max_tokens=16000,
-    system="You are a helpful coding assistant. Always provide examples in Python.",
-    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "How do I read a JSON file?"}]
-)
-```
-
-### Mid-conversation system messages (model-gated)
-
-For operator instructions that arrive mid-conversation (mode switches, injected state), append `{"role": "system", ...}` to `messages` instead of editing top-level `system` — this preserves the cached prefix and carries operator authority. Must follow a user message (or an `assistant` message ending in server-tool use), and must be either the last entry in `messages` or be followed by an `assistant` turn; cannot be `messages[0]`. Unsupported models return a 400 (`role 'system' is not supported on this model`). See `shared/prompt-caching.md` for when to use this vs. top-level `system`.
-
-```python
-response = client.messages.create(
-    model=MODEL_ID,  # must support mid-conversation system messages
-    max_tokens=16000,
-    system=[{"type": "text", "text": STABLE_SYSTEM, "cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral"}}],
-    messages=history + [
-        {"role": "user", "content": user_message},
-        {"role": "system", "content": "Terse mode enabled — keep responses under 40 words."},
-    ],
-)  # No beta header needed — use regular client.messages.create
-```

-## Vision (Images)
-
-### Base64
-
-```python
-import base64
-
-with open("image.png", "rb") as f:
-    image_data = base64.standard_b64encode(f.read()).decode("utf-8")
-
-response = client.messages.create(
-    model="claude-opus-5",
-    max_tokens=16000,
-    messages=[{
-        "role": "user",
-        "content": [
-            {
-                "type": "image",
-                "source": {
-                    "type": "base64",
-                    "media_type": "image/png",
-                    "data": image_data
-                }
-            },
-            {"type": "text", "text": "What's in this image?"}
-        ]
-    }]
-)
-```
-
-### URL
-
-```python
-response = client.messages.create(
-    model="claude-opus-5",
-    max_tokens=16000,
-    messages=[{
-        "role": "user",
-        "content": [
-            {
-                "type": "image",
-                "source": {
-                    "type": "url",
-                    "url": "https://example.com/image.png"
-                }
-            },
-            {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image"}
-        ]
-    }]
-)

-## Prompt Caching
-
-Cache large context to reduce costs (up to 90% savings). **Caching is a prefix match** — any byte change anywhere in the prefix invalidates everything after it. For placement patterns, architectural guidance (frozen system prompt, deterministic tool order, where to put volatile content), and the silent-invalidator audit checklist, read `shared/prompt-caching.md`.
-
-### Automatic Caching (Recommended)
-
-Use top-level `cache_control` to automatically cache the last cacheable block in the request — no need to annotate individual content blocks:
-
-```python
-response = client.messages.create(
-    model="claude-opus-5",
-    max_tokens=16000,
-    cache_control={"type": "ephemeral"},  # auto-caches the last cacheable block
-    system="You are an expert on this large document...",
-    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize the key points"}]
-)
-```
-
-### Manual Cache Control
-
-For fine-grained control, add `cache_control` to specific content blocks:
-
-```python
-response = client.messages.create(
-    model="claude-opus-5",
-    max_tokens=16000,
-    system=[{
-        "type": "text",
-        "text": "You are an expert on this large document...",
-        "cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral"}  # default TTL is 5 minutes
-    }],
-    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize the key points"}]
-)
-
-# With explicit TTL (time-to-live)
-response = client.messages.create(
-    model="claude-opus-5",
-    max_tokens=16000,
-    system=[{
-        "type": "text",
-        "text": "You are an expert on this large document...",
-        "cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral", "ttl": "1h"}  # 1 hour TTL
-    }],
-    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize the key points"}]
-)
-```
-
-### Verifying Cache Hits
-
-```python
-print(response.usage.cache_creation_input_tokens)  # tokens written to cache (~1.25x cost)
-print(response.usage.cache_read_input_tokens)      # tokens served from cache (~0.1x cost)
-print(response.usage.input_tokens)                 # uncached tokens (full cost)
-```
-
-If `cache_read_input_tokens` is zero across repeated identical-prefix requests, a silent invalidator is at work — `datetime.now()` or a UUID in the system prompt, unsorted `json.dumps()`, or a varying tool set. See `shared/prompt-caching.md` for the full audit table.

-## Extended Thinking
-
-> **Fable 5, Claude Opus 5, Opus 4.8, Opus 4.7, Opus 4.6, and Sonnet 4.6:** Use adaptive thinking. `budget_tokens` is removed on Fable 5, Claude Opus 5, Opus 4.8, and 4.7 (400 if sent); deprecated on Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6.
-> **Claude Opus 5:** thinking is on by default — omitting `thinking` runs adaptive (`{"type": "adaptive"}` is equivalent), unlike Opus 4.8/4.7 where omitting it meant no thinking. `{"type": "disabled"}` is accepted only at effort `high` or lower; pairing it with `xhigh`/`max` returns a 400.
-> **Older models:** Use `thinking: {type: "enabled", budget_tokens: N}` (must be < `max_tokens`, min 1024).
-
-```python
-# Fable 5 / Claude Opus 5 / Opus 4.8 / 4.7 / 4.6: adaptive thinking (recommended)
-response = client.messages.create(
-    model="claude-opus-5",
-    max_tokens=16000,
-    thinking={"type": "adaptive", "display": "summarized"},  # display opt-in: default is omitted (empty thinking text) on Fable 5 / Mythos 5 / Claude Opus 5 / Opus 4.8 / 4.7
-    output_config={"effort": "high"},  # low | medium | high | xhigh | max
-    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Solve this step by step..."}]
-)
-
-# Access thinking and response
-for block in response.content:
-    if block.type == "thinking":
-        print(f"Thinking: {block.thinking}")
-    elif block.type == "text":
-        print(f"Response: {block.text}")
-```
-
----
-
-## Error Handling
-
-```python
-import anthropic
-
-try:
-    response = client.messages.create(...)
-except anthropic.BadRequestError as e:
-    print(f"Bad request: {e.message}")
-except anthropic.AuthenticationError:
-    print("Invalid API key")
-except anthropic.PermissionDeniedError:
-    print("API key lacks required permissions")
-except anthropic.NotFoundError:
-    print("Invalid model or endpoint")
-except anthropic.RateLimitError as e:
-    retry_after = int(e.response.headers.get("retry-after", "60"))
-    print(f"Rate limited. Retry after {retry_after}s.")
-except anthropic.APIStatusError as e:
-    if e.status_code >= 500:
-        print(f"Server error ({e.status_code}). Retry later.")
-    else:
-        print(f"API error: {e.message}")
-except anthropic.APIConnectionError:
-    print("Network error. Check internet connection.")
-```
-
----
-
-## Response Helpers
-
-Every response object exposes `_request_id` (populated from the `request-id` header) — log it when reporting failures to Anthropic. Despite the underscore prefix, this property is public.
-
-```python
-message = client.messages.create(...)
-print(message._request_id)       # req_018EeWyXxfu5pfWkrYcMdjWG
-print(message.to_json())          # serialize the Pydantic model
-print(message.to_dict())          # plain dict
-```
-
-To access raw headers or other response metadata, use `.with_raw_response`:
-
-```python
-raw = client.messages.with_raw_response.create(
-    model="claude-opus-5",
-    max_tokens=1024,
-    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
-)
-print(raw.headers.get("request-id"))
-message = raw.parse()  # the Message object messages.create() would have returned
-```
-
----
-
-## Multi-Turn Conversations
-
-The API is stateless — send the full conversation history each time.
-
-```python
-class ConversationManager:
-    """Manage multi-turn conversations with the Claude API."""
-
-    def __init__(self, client: anthropic.Anthropic, model: str, system: str = None):
-        self.client = client
-        self.model = model
-        self.system = system
-        self.messages = []
-
-    def send(self, user_message: str, **kwargs) -> str:
-        """Send a message and get a response."""
-        self.messages.append({"role": "user", "content": user_message})
-
-        response = self.client.messages.create(
-            model=self.model,
-            max_tokens=kwargs.get("max_tokens", 16000),
-            system=self.system,
-            messages=self.messages,
-            **kwargs
-        )
-
-        assistant_message = next(
-            (b.text for b in response.content if b.type == "text"), ""
-        )
-        self.messages.append({"role": "assistant", "content": assistant_message})
-
-        return assistant_message
-
-# Usage
-conversation = ConversationManager(
-    client=anthropic.Anthropic(),
-    model="claude-opus-5",
-    system="You are a helpful assistant."
-)
-
-response1 = conversation.send("My name is Alice.")
-response2 = conversation.send("What's my name?")  # Claude remembers "Alice"
-```
-
-**Rules:**
-
-- Consecutive same-role messages are allowed — the API combines them into a single turn
-- First message must be `user`
-- `role: "system"` messages are allowed mid-conversation on supporting models (no beta header needed) — see § Mid-conversation system messages above
-
----
-
-### Compaction (long conversations)
-
-> **Beta, Fable 5, Claude Opus 5, Opus 4.8, Opus 4.7, Opus 4.6, and Sonnet 4.6.** When conversations approach the 200K context window, compaction automatically summarizes earlier context server-side. The API returns a `compaction` block; you must pass it back on subsequent requests — append `response.content`, not just the text.
-
-```python
-import anthropic
-
-client = anthropic.Anthropic()
-messages = []
-
-def chat(user_message: str) -> str:
-    messages.append({"role": "user", "content": user_message})
-
-    response = client.beta.messages.create(
-        betas=["compact-2026-01-12"],
-        model="claude-opus-5",
-        max_tokens=16000,
-        messages=messages,
-        context_management={
-            "edits": [{"type": "compact_20260112"}]
-        }
-    )
-
-    # Append full content — compaction blocks must be preserved
-    messages.append({"role": "assistant", "content": response.content})
-
-    return next(block.text for block in response.content if block.type == "text")
-
-# Compaction triggers automatically when context grows large
-print(chat("Help me build a Python web scraper"))
-print(chat("Add support for JavaScript-rendered pages"))
-print(chat("Now add rate limiting and error handling"))
-```
-
----
-
-## Stop Reasons
-
-The `stop_reason` field in the response indicates why the model stopped generating:
-
-| Value | Meaning |
-|-------|---------|
-| `end_turn` | Claude finished its response naturally |
-| `max_tokens` | Hit the `max_tokens` limit — increase it or use streaming |
-| `stop_sequence` | Hit a custom stop sequence |
-| `tool_use` | Claude wants to call a tool — execute it and continue |
-| `pause_turn` | Model paused and can be resumed (agentic flows) |
-| `refusal` | Claude refused for safety reasons — check `stop_details` |
-
-### Structured Stop Details
-
-When `stop_reason` is `"refusal"`, the response includes a `stop_details` object with structured information about the refusal:
-
-```python
-if response.stop_reason == "refusal" and response.stop_details:
-    print(f"Category: {response.stop_details.category}")   # e.g. "cyber", "bio", "reasoning_extraction", "frontier_llm", or None — see docs for the full set
-    print(f"Explanation: {response.stop_details.explanation}")
-```
-
-### Refusal Fallbacks (Claude Fable 5) — opt in by default
-
-Fallbacks are **opt-in**: without them a refused request simply stops. Include the server-side `fallbacks` parameter in `claude-fable-5` code by default — on a policy decline the API re-runs the same request on the fallback model inside the same call. A decline before any output isn't billed (a mid-stream decline bills the streamed partial); the rescue bills at the fallback model's own rates, with cache repricing applied automatically.
-
-```python
-response = client.beta.messages.create(
-    model="claude-fable-5",
-    max_tokens=16000,
-    betas=["server-side-fallback-2026-06-01"],
-    fallbacks=[{"model": "claude-opus-4-8"}],
-    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "..."}],
-)
-
-# Switch points: one fallback block per model that ran and declined this turn
-for block in response.content:
-    if block.type == "fallback":
-        print(f"{block.from_.model} declined; {block.to.model} continued")
-
-# Served-by signal — covers sticky turns, which carry no fallback block.
-# Pair with stop_reason: the fallback model can itself refuse.
-fallback_ran = any(
-    entry.type == "fallback_message" for entry in response.usage.iterations or []
-)
-if fallback_ran and response.stop_reason != "refusal":
-    print(f"Served by {response.model}")
-```
-
-A `stop_reason: "refusal"` on the final response means the whole chain refused. The header must be exactly `server-side-fallback-2026-06-01` **for this array form**; the newer `fallbacks: "default"` scalar form uses `server-side-fallback-2026-07-01` instead (see `shared/model-migration.md` → Migrating to Claude Opus 5 → New API features), and pairing either header with the other form returns a 400. The parameter is rejected on the Batches API and unavailable on Amazon Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry — register the client-side `BetaRefusalFallbackMiddleware` on the client there instead. Full semantics (sticky routing, billing, streaming, echoing fallback turns back): `shared/model-migration.md` → Migrating to Claude Fable 5 → `refusal` stop reason.

-## Cost Optimization Strategies
-
-### 1. Use Prompt Caching for Repeated Context
-
-```python
-# Automatic caching (simplest — caches the last cacheable block)
-response = client.messages.create(
-    model="claude-opus-5",
-    max_tokens=16000,
-    cache_control={"type": "ephemeral"},
-    system=large_document_text,  # e.g., 50KB of context
-    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize the key points"}]
-)
-
-# First request: full cost
-# Subsequent requests: ~90% cheaper for cached portion
-```
-
-### 2. Choose the Right Model
-
-```python
-# Default to Opus for most tasks
-response = client.messages.create(
-    model="claude-opus-5",  # $5.00/$25.00 per 1M tokens
-    max_tokens=16000,
-    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing"}]
-)
-
-# Use Sonnet for high-volume production workloads
-standard_response = client.messages.create(
-    model="claude-sonnet-5",  # $3.00/$15.00 per 1M tokens
-    max_tokens=16000,
-    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize this document"}]
-)
-
-# Use Haiku only for simple, speed-critical tasks
-simple_response = client.messages.create(
-    model="claude-haiku-4-5",  # $1.00/$5.00 per 1M tokens
-    max_tokens=256,
-    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Classify this as positive or negative"}]
-)
-```
-
-### 3. Use Token Counting Before Requests
-
-```python
-count_response = client.messages.count_tokens(
-    model="claude-opus-5",
-    messages=messages,
-    system=system
-)
-
-estimated_input_cost = count_response.input_tokens * 0.000005  # $5/1M tokens
-print(f"Estimated input cost: ${estimated_input_cost:.4f}")
-```
-

-
-## Retry with Exponential Backoff
-
-> **Note:** The Anthropic SDK automatically retries rate limit (429) and server errors (5xx) with exponential backoff. You can configure this with `max_retries` (default: 2). Only implement custom retry logic if you need behavior beyond what the SDK provides.
-
-```python
-import time
-import random
-import anthropic
-
-def call_with_retry(
-    client: anthropic.Anthropic,
-    max_retries: int = 5,
-    base_delay: float = 1.0,
-    max_delay: float = 60.0,
-    **kwargs
-):
-    """Call the API with exponential backoff retry."""
-    last_exception = None
-
-    for attempt in range(max_retries):
-        try:
-            return client.messages.create(**kwargs)
-        except anthropic.RateLimitError as e:
-            last_exception = e
-        except anthropic.APIStatusError as e:
-            if e.status_code >= 500:
-                last_exception = e
-            else:
-                raise  # Client errors (4xx except 429) should not be retried
-
-        delay = min(base_delay * (2 ** attempt) + random.uniform(0, 1), max_delay)
-        print(f"Retry {attempt + 1}/{max_retries} after {delay:.1f}s")
-        time.sleep(delay)
-
-    raise last_exception
-```
