README

Claude AI Toolkit

**Unmaintained.** Use the [`anthropic`](https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python) SDK for Python or [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) for CLI.

I've always preferred pair programming with LLMs from the terminal over copy-pasting from browser chats. Web UIs hit rate limits, lose context across tabs, and break flow when I'm moving code back and forth. Anthropic dropped the Claude 3 family on March 4, 2024. I shipped this the same day. The official Python SDK was fresh, Claude Code didn't exist yet, and I wanted chat/text/vision modes, streaming, system prompts, and the full parameter surface behind one CLI. So I built this for myself.
