Agent SDK Development

The Agent SDK Development plugin streamlines the complete lifecycle of building applications with the Claude Agent SDK, from initial project scaffolding through verification against official best practices. When creating a new SDK application, the plugin guides you through an interactive workflow that asks clarifying questions about your project including language preference, agent type, and desired starting point, then automatically installs the latest SDK version and generates all necessary project files with proper configuration and working example code tailored to your use case. Beyond initial setup, the plugin includes specialized verification agents for both Python and TypeScript that thoroughly analyze existing SDK applications to ensure they follow documented patterns, checking SDK installation versions, environment setup, correct usage patterns, agent initialization, security practices around API keys, error handling quality, and documentation completeness. The verifier agents run automatically after project creation and can be invoked on demand to validate modifications to existing applications, providing comprehensive reports that categorize findings into critical issues that prevent functionality, warnings about suboptimal patterns, and lists of passed checks with specific recommendations linked to official SDK documentation. This ensures developers build Agent SDK applications that are production-ready and follow Anthropic's recommended architectures.
