Available in Python and TypeScript SDKs (beta). + +**Manual Agentic Loop:** Use when you need fine-grained control over the loop (e.g., custom logging, conditional tool execution, human-in-the-loop approval). Loop until \`stop_reason == "end_turn"\`, always append the full \`response.content\` to preserve tool_use blocks, and ensure each \`tool_result\` includes the matching \`tool_use_id\`. + +> **Security:** The tool runner executes your tool functions automatically whenever Claude requests them. For tools with side effects (sending emails, modifying databases, financial transactions), validate inputs within your tool functions and consider requiring confirmation for destructive operations. Use the manual agentic loop if you need human-in-the-loop approval before each tool execution. + +--- + +### Handling Tool Results + +When Claude uses a tool, the response contains a \`tool_use\` block. You must: + +1. Execute the tool with the provided input +2. Send the result back in a \`tool_result\` message +3. Continue the conversation + +**Error handling in tool results:** When a tool execution fails, set \`"is_error": true\` and provide an informative error message. Claude will typically acknowledge the error and either try a different approach or ask for clarification. + +**Multiple tool calls:** Claude can request multiple tools in a single response. Handle them all before continuing — send all results back in a single \`user\` message. + +--- + +## Server-Side Tools: Code Execution + +The code execution tool lets Claude run code in a secure, sandboxed container.

Claude can create, read, update, and delete files that persist between sessions. + +**Beta:** Use the SDK's beta namespace with \`betas: ["context-management-2025-06-27"]\`. + +### Key Facts + +- Client-side tool — you control storage via your implementation +- Supports commands: \`view\`, \`create\`, \`str_replace\`, \`insert\`, \`delete\`, \`rename\` +- Operates on files in a \`/memories\` directory +- The SDKs provide helper classes/functions for implementing the memory backend + +> **Security:** Never store API keys, passwords, tokens, or other secrets in memory files. Be cautious with personally identifiable information (PII) — check data privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA) before persisting user data. The reference implementations have no built-in access control; in multi-user systems, implement per-user memory directories and authentication in your tool handlers. + +For full implementation examples, use WebFetch: + +- Docs: \`https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/memory-tool.md\` + +--- + +## Structured Outputs + +Structured outputs constrain Claude's responses to follow a specific JSON schema, guaranteeing valid, parseable output. This is not a separate tool — it enhances the Messages API response format and/or tool parameter validation. + +Two features are available: + +- **JSON outputs** (\`output_config.format\`): Control Claude's response format +- **Strict tool use** (\`strict: true\`): Guarantee valid tool parameter schemas + +**Supported models:** Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Claude Haiku 4.5. Legacy models (Claude Opus 4.5, Claude Opus 4.1) also support structured outputs. + +> **Recommended:** Use \`client.messages.parse()\` which automatically validates responses against your schema. When using \`messages.create()\` directly, use \`output_config: {format: {...}}\`. The old \`output_format\` parameter is deprecated (SDK helpers like \`.parse()\` still accept it as a convenience). + +### JSON Schema Limitations + +**Supported:** + +- Basic types: object, array, string, integer, number, boolean, null +- \`enum\`, \`const\`, \`anyOf\`, \`allOf\`, \`$ref\`/\`$def\` +- String formats: \`date-time\`, \`time\`, \`date\`, \`duration\`, \`email\`, \`hostname\`, \`uri\`, \`ipv4\`, \`ipv6\`, \`uuid\` +- \`additionalProperties: false\` (required for all objects) + +**Not supported:** + +- Recursive schemas +- Numerical constraints (\`minimum\`, \`maximum\`, \`multipleOf\`) +- String constraints (\`minLength\`, \`maxLength\`) +- Complex array constraints +- \`additionalProperties\` set to anything other than \`false\` + +The Python and TypeScript SDKs automatically handle unsupported constraints by removing them from the schema sent to the API and validating them client-side. + +### Important Notes + +- **First request latency**: New schemas incur a one-time compilation cost. Subsequent requests with the same schema use a 24-hour cache. +- **Refusals**: If Claude refuses for safety reasons (\`stop_reason: "refusal"\`), the output may not match your schema. +- **Token limits**: If \`stop_reason: "max_tokens"\`, output may be incomplete.

(e.g., "turn this design doc into a PR" vs. "extract the title from this PDF") +- **Value** — Does the outcome justify higher cost and latency? +- **Viability** — Is Claude capable at this task type? +- **Cost of error** — Can errors be caught and recovered from?

For full control, you can write the loop manually. + +**Server-side tools** — Anthropic-hosted tools that run on Anthropic's infrastructure. Code execution is fully server-side (declare it in \`tools\`, Claude runs code automatically). Computer use can be server-hosted or self-hosted. + +**Structured outputs** — Constrains the Messages API response format (\`output_config.format\`) and/or tool parameter validation (\`strict: true\`). The recommended approach is \`client.messages.parse()\` which validates responses against your schema automatically.

Use \`low\` for subagents or simple tasks; \`max\` for the deepest reasoning. + +**Older models (Sonnet 4.5, etc.):** Use \`thinking: {type: "enabled", budget_tokens: N}\`. \`budget_tokens\` must be less than \`max_tokens\` (minimum 1024). + +--- + +## Compaction (Quick Reference) + +**Beta, Opus 4.6 only.** For long-running conversations that may exceed the 200K context window, enable server-side compaction. The API automatically summarizes earlier context when it approaches the trigger threshold (default: 150K tokens). Requires beta header \`compact-2026-01-12\`. + +**Critical:** Append \`response.content\` (not just the text) back to your messages on every turn. Compaction blocks in the response must be preserved — the API uses them to replace the compacted history on the next request.

Use \`.stream()\` with \`.get_final_message()\` / \`.finalMessage()\`. +- **Tool call JSON parsing (Opus 4.6):** Opus 4.6 may produce different JSON string escaping in tool call \`input\` fields (e.g., Unicode or forward-slash escaping). Always parse tool inputs with \`json.loads()\` / \`JSON.parse()\` — never do raw string matching on the serialized input. +- **Structured outputs (all models):** Use \`output_config: {format: {...}}\` instead of the deprecated \`output_format\` parameter on \`messages.create()\`. This is a general API change, not 4.6-specific. SDK helper methods like \`.parse()\` still accept \`output_format\` as a convenience — the SDK translates it internally. diff --git a/system-prompts/system-reminder-delegate-mode-prompt.md b/system-prompts/system-reminder-delegate-mode-prompt.md deleted file mode 100644 index 06ba42d..0000000 --- a/system-prompts/system-reminder-delegate-mode-prompt.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,21 +0,0 @@ - -## Delegate Mode - -You are in delegate mode for team "${DELEGATE_MODE_TOOL_OBJECT.teamName}".
