Claude Tool-Use Patterns

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for integrating external tools with Claude, enabling the creation of autonomous agents that can perform actions like API calls, database queries, and file system manipulations. It covers the entire tool-use lifecycle—from designing robust JSON schemas with strict conformance to managing complex multi-turn conversations and parallel execution. By adopting these patterns, developers can build more reliable AI applications that handle errors gracefully, maintain type safety, and leverage Claude's extended thinking capabilities for complex reasoning tasks.
