Prompty.Anthropic

Anthropic Claude provider for Prompty — executor and processor for Claude models via the Anthropic Messages API. Uses direct HTTP (no SDK dependency) for a lightweight footprint.

Installation

dotnet add package Prompty.Core
dotnet add package Prompty.Anthropic

Quick Start

using Prompty.Core;
using Prompty.Anthropic;

// One-time setup — registers renderers, parser, and Anthropic provider
new PromptyBuilder()
    .AddAnthropic();

// Run a .prompty file
var result = await Pipeline.InvokeAsync("chat.prompty", new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    ["question"] = "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"
});

Console.WriteLine(result);

API Key

model:
  connection:
    kind: key
    endpoint: https://api.anthropic.com    # optional, this is the default
    apiKey: ${env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}

Agent Turns (Tool Calling)

Anthropic's tool calling follows the same pattern as other providers:

var tools = new Dictionary<string, Func<string, Task<string>>>
{
    ["get_weather"] = async (args) => "72°F and sunny"
};

var result = await Pipeline.TurnAsync(
    agent, inputs, tools, maxIterations: 10);

Architecture Notes

This package uses direct HTTP via HttpClient rather than an Anthropic SDK. This means:

  • Zero external package dependencies (only Prompty.Core)
  • Full control over the Messages API wire format
  • Lightweight — no SDK overhead
