# Anthropic Platform Features

> Router skill for Anthropic platform-side features that sit above the raw Messages API: Agent Skills format (the spec for `.skill` packages used by platform-managed agents), MCP connectors hosted by Anthropic, tool use (computer use, code execution, bash tool, define-your-own tools), build-with-claude features (extended thinking, message batches, citations, Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex, embeddings, fast mode, context editing), manage-claude operations (workload identity federation, billing, identity), and the Managed Agents product. Use when the user asks about: writing an Agent Skill `.skill` package, Anthropic's hosted MCP connector, MCP Tunnels (connecting private-network MCP servers without opening inbound ports), the computer-use tool, the code_execution tool, bash tool, extended thinking, message batches, prompt caching strategy at the platform level, citations, deploying via Bedrock or Vertex, embeddings models, fast-mode behavior, context editing strategies, WIF setup, billing / cost reports, identity
