Skills with the Claude Agent SDK

Lesson Files

You can find all the files for L7 here, with a few variations from what's shown in the video:

• Used haiku as the model for each subagent
• Specified the exact list of MCP tools to use

Here are some key files to explore:

• System prompts for the main agent and subagents
• Files for the learning-a-tool skill
• utils.py (message formatting)
• agent.py
• The learning guide generated during filming

To run the agent, follow the instructions in the README file. You'll need an Anthropic API key (no subscription required).

About costs: Running the agent with the same requests costs approximately $3.43 in API credits if you use haiku as the subagent model (and using sonnet with the main agent), or $6.35 if you use sonnet with the subagents.

Prompts Used in the Lesson

Step 1: Start the research process

Help me get started with MinerU. Create a learning guide. Show me your plan first.

Note: The agent might take around 15 minutes to complete. You can always update the skill's instructions and agent definitions if you want faster research or a simpler learning guide.

Step 2: Review and approve the plan

You can agree with the plan or provide your feedback and suggestions.

Step 3 (Optional): Export to Notion

If you'd like to try the MCP integration with Notion:

Write ./learning-mineru/resources.md to the "Resources" subpage under Learning in Notion. The subpage already exists. Use rich formatting. For Notion MCP: You can use the full range of Notion block types for proper formatting.

Note: In the Notion account used in the lesson, we created a page called Learning with a subpage called Resources.
