What does this package do?

This package provides a clean wrapper around Anthropic's Claude API, allowing you to easily integrate Claude's capabilities into your Arturo applications. It handles all the API communication, message formatting, and response parsing, providing both low-level access to the full API and convenient high-level methods for common use cases.

How do I use it?

First, make sure you have an API key from Anthropic. Then simply import the package and initialize a client:

import "claude"!

; Initialize with your API key
claude: to :claudeAPI @["sk-your-api-key"]!

; Ask a simple question
answer: claude\ask "What is the capital of France?"
print answer

; Have a more complex conversation
response: claude\chat [
    createMessage "user" "What's quantum computing?"
    createMessage "assistant" "Quantum computing uses quantum mechanics..."
    createMessage "user" "Can you explain qubits?"
]

; Use custom parameters
response: claude\chat
  .temperature: 0.9
  .maxTokens: 2000
  .system: "You are a creative writing expert"
[
    createMessage "user" "Write a creative story"
]
