## What it does

agent-sdk-dev guides project creation through `/new-sdk-app`. The command asks about the language, project name, agent type, starting example, and package manager. It then installs the latest SDK version, creates project files, adds `.env.example` and `.gitignore`, and provides a working example. TypeScript projects receive type checking; Python projects receive syntax validation.

The plugin includes two verifier agents: `agent-sdk-verifier-py` for Python and `agent-sdk-verifier-ts` for TypeScript. They inspect SDK installation, project configuration, agent initialization, API keys, error handling, and documentation. The matching verifier runs after `/new-sdk-app`, or you can ask for a check on an existing application.

Claude Code must be installed first. Python projects may use `requirements.txt` or `pyproject.toml`, while TypeScript projects use `tsconfig.json`; the API key is placed in `.env`. Run the verifier before deployment because its report separates failures, warnings, passed checks, and recommendations.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install agent-sdk-dev@claude-plugins-official
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official
```

## When to use it
- create a Claude Agent SDK app in Python or TypeScript
- set up project files and the environment for a new agent
- check SDK installation and agent initialization
- spot API key, type, and error-handling issues

## Example prompts
- Create a TypeScript coding agent project named `customer-support-agent` with `/new-sdk-app`.
- Verify my Python Agent SDK application, including its environment and API key setup.
- Check my TypeScript Agent SDK app before deployment and report recommendations.

# Agent SDK Development Plugin

A comprehensive plugin for creating and verifying Claude Agent SDK applications in Python and TypeScript.

## Overview

The Agent SDK Development Plugin streamlines the entire lifecycle of building Agent SDK applications, from initial scaffolding to verification against best practices. It helps you quickly start new projects with the latest SDK versions and ensures your applications follow official documentation patterns.

## Features

### Command: `/new-sdk-app`

Interactive command that guides you through creating a new Claude Agent SDK application.

**What it does:**
- Asks clarifying questions about your project (language, name, agent type, starting point)
- Checks for and installs the latest SDK version
- Creates all necessary project files and configuration
- Sets up proper environment files (.env.example, .gitignore)
- Provides a working example tailored to your use case
- Runs type checking (TypeScript) or syntax validation (Python)
- Automatically verifies the setup using the appropriate verifier agent

**Usage:**
```bash
/new-sdk-app my-project-name
```

Or simply:
```bash
/new-sdk-app
```

The command will interactively ask you:
1. Language choice (TypeScript or Python)
2. Project name (if not provided)
3. Agent type (coding, business, custom)
4. Starting point (minimal, basic, or specific example)
5. Tooling preferences (npm/yarn/pnpm or pip/poetry)

**Example:**
```bash
/new-sdk-app customer-support-agent
# → Creates a new Agent SDK project for a customer support agent
# → Sets up TypeScript or Python environment
# → Installs latest SDK version
# → Verifies the setup automatically
```

### Agent: `agent-sdk-verifier-py`

Thoroughly verifies Python Agent SDK applications for correct setup and best practices.

**Verification checks:**
- SDK installation and version
- Python environment setup (requirements.txt, pyproject.toml)
- Correct SDK usage and patterns
- Agent initialization and configuration
- Environment and security (.env, API keys)
- Error handling and functionality
- Documentation completeness

**When to use:**
- After creating a new Python SDK project
- After modifying an existing Python SDK application
- Before deploying a Python SDK application

**Usage:**
The agent runs automatically after `/new-sdk-app` creates a Python project, or you can trigger it by asking:
```
"Verify my Python Agent SDK application"
"Check if my SDK app follows best practices"
```

**Output:**
Provides a comprehensive report with:
- Overall status (PASS / PASS WITH WARNINGS / FAIL)
- Critical issues that prevent functionality
- Warnings about suboptimal patterns
- List of passed checks
- Specific recommendations with SDK documentation references

### Agent: `agent-sdk-verifier-ts`

Thoroughly verifies TypeScript Agent SDK applications for correct setup and best practices.

**Verification checks:**
- SDK installation and version
- TypeScript configuration (tsconfig.json)
- Correct SDK usage and patterns
- Type safety and imports
- Agent initialization and configuration
- Environment and security (.env, API keys)
- Error handling and functionality
- Documentation completeness

**When to use:**
- After creating a new TypeScript SDK project
- After modifying an existing TypeScript SDK application
- Before deploying a TypeScript SDK application

**Usage:**
The agent runs automatically after `/new-sdk-app` creates a TypeScript project, or you can trigger it by asking:
```
"Verify my TypeScript Agent SDK application"
"Check if my SDK app follows best practices"
```

**Output:**
Provides a comprehensive report with:
- Overall status (PASS / PASS WITH WARNINGS / FAIL)
- Critical issues that prevent functionality
- Warnings about suboptimal patterns
- List of passed checks
- Specific recommendations with SDK documentation references

## Workflow Example

Here's a typical workflow using this plugin:

1. **Create a new project:**
```bash
/new-sdk-app code-reviewer-agent
```

2. **Answer the interactive questions:**
```
Language: TypeScript
Agent type: Coding agent (code review)
