Agent SDK Patterns — TypeScript

Basic Agent

```typescript import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

async function main() { for await (const message of query({ prompt: "Explain what this repository does", options: { cwd: "/path/to/project", allowedTools: ["Read", "Glob", "Grep"], }, })) { if ("result" in message) { console.log(message.result); } } }

main(); ```

Hooks

After Tool Use Hook

```typescript import { query, HookCallback } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk"; import { appendFileSync } from "fs";

const logFileChange: HookCallback = async (input) => { const filePath = (input as any).tool_input?.file_path ?? "unknown"; appendFileSync( "./audit.log", `${new Date().toISOString()}: modified ${filePath}\n`, ); return {}; };

for await (const message of query({ prompt: "Refactor utils.py to improve readability", options: { allowedTools: ["Read", "Edit", "Write"], permissionMode: "acceptEdits", hooks: { PostToolUse: [{ matcher: "Edit|Write", hooks: [logFileChange] }], }, }, })) { if ("result" in message) console.log(message.result); } ```

Subagents

```typescript import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

for await (const message of query({ prompt: "Use the code-reviewer agent to review this codebase", options: { allowedTools: ["Read", "Glob", "Grep", "Task"], agents: { "code-reviewer": { description: "Expert code reviewer for quality and security reviews.", prompt: "Analyze code quality and suggest improvements.", tools: ["Read", "Glob", "Grep"], }, }, }, })) { if ("result" in message) console.log(message.result); } ```

MCP Server Integration

Browser Automation (Playwright)

```typescript for await (const message of query({ prompt: "Open example.com and describe what you see", options: { mcpServers: { playwright: { command: "npx", args: ["@playwright/mcp@latest"] }, }, }, })) { if ("result" in message) console.log(message.result); } ```

---

Session Resumption

```typescript import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

let sessionId: string | undefined;

// First query: capture the session ID for await (const message of query({ prompt: "Read the authentication module", options: { allowedTools: ["Read", "Glob"] }, })) { if (message.type === "system" && message.subtype === "init") { sessionId = message.session_id; } }

// Resume with full context from the first query for await (const message of query({ prompt: "Now find all places that call it", options: { resume: sessionId }, })) { if ("result" in message) console.log(message.result); } ```

---

Custom System Prompt

```typescript import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

for await (const message of query({ prompt: "Review this code", options: { allowedTools: ["Read", "Glob", "Grep"], systemPrompt: `You are a senior code reviewer focused on:

1. Security vulnerabilities
2. Performance issues
3. Code maintainability

Always provide specific line numbers and suggestions for improvement.`, }, })) { if ("result" in message) console.log(message.result); } ```
