First-party SDK with excellent TypeScript support. Tool use and streaming work flawlessly. The agent loop is well-designed.

Using the official SDK reduces risk of breaking changes. The agent patterns are production-tested by Anthropic themselves.

The team ships fast and responds to feedback. Good sign.

Futurist

Anthropic's approach to safe, capable agents sets the standard. The SDK makes best practices the default path.

This fills a real gap in the ecosystem. Worth adopting early.
