What it does

Clade Model Inference is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Stream Claude responses, use system prompts, handle multi-turn conversations, Use when working with model-inference patterns. and process structured output with the Messages API. Trigger with "anthropic streaming", "claude messages api", "claude inference", "stream claude response".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/one-pager.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Structured output and tool calling and Prompt engineering. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Working with model-inference patterns
  • With anthropic streaming
  • Claude messages api
  • Claude inference

Example prompts

  • “anthropic streaming”
  • “claude messages api”
  • “claude inference”
  • “/clade-model-inference”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(npm:*), Grep

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Streaming Responses
  2. Vision — Sending Images
  3. JSON / Structured Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(npm:*)
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript and python).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • platform.claude.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Clade Model Inference loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 235 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Anthropic Messages API — Streaming & Advanced Patterns

Overview

The Messages API is the only inference endpoint. Every Claude interaction goes through client.messages.create(). This skill covers streaming, system prompts, vision, and structured output.

Prerequisites

  • Completed clade-install-auth
  • Familiarity with clade-hello-world

Instructions

Step 1: Streaming Responses
typescript
import Anthropic from '@claude-ai/sdk';

const client = new Anthropic();

const stream = client.messages.stream({
  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-20250514',
  max_tokens: 1024,
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Write a haiku about TypeScript.' }],
});

for await (const event of stream) {
  if (event.type === 'content_block_delta' && event.delta.type === 'text_delta') {
    process.stdout.write(event.delta.text);
  }
}

const finalMessage = await stream.finalMessage();
console.log('\n\nTokens:', finalMessage.usage);
Step 2: Vision — Sending Images
typescript
const message = await client.messages.create({
  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-20250514',
  max_tokens: 1024,
  messages: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: [
      {
        type: 'image',
        source: {
          type: 'base64',
          media_type: 'image/png',
          data: fs.readFileSync('screenshot.png').toString('base64'),
        },
      },
      { type: 'text', text: 'Describe what you see in this image.' },
    ],
  }],
});
Step 3: JSON / Structured Output
typescript
const message = await client.messages.create({
  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-20250514',
  max_tokens: 1024,
  system: `Respond with valid JSON only. Schema: { "summary": string, "sentiment": "positive"|"negative"|"neutral", "confidence": number }`,
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Analyze: "This product exceeded my expectations!"' }],
});

const result = JSON.parse(message.content[0].text);
// { summary: "Very positive review", sentiment: "positive", confidence: 0.95 }

Python Streaming

python
import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic()

with client.messages.stream(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about Python."}],
) as stream:
    for text in stream.text_stream:
        print(text, end="", flush=True)

print(f"\nTokens: {stream.get_final_message().usage}")

Output

  • Non-streaming: Full Message object with content, usage, stop_reason
  • Streaming events:
    • message_start — message metadata
    • content_block_start — new content block beginning
    • content_block_delta — incremental text (text_delta) or tool input (input_json_delta)
    • message_delta — final stop_reason and usage
    • message_stop — stream complete

Error Handling

ErrorCauseSolution
overloaded_error (529)Anthropic API temporarily overloadedRetry with exponential backoff; use client.messages.create with built-in retries
rate_limit_error (429)Exceeded RPM or TPMCheck retry-after header. See clade-rate-limits
invalid_request_errorImage too large or bad formatMax 20 images per request. Supported: PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP. Max 5MB each

Key Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
modelstringRequired. Model ID (e.g. claude-sonnet-4-20250514)
max_tokensintRequired. Maximum output tokens (1–8192 typical)
messagesarrayRequired. Alternating user/assistant messages
systemstringOptional. System prompt for behavior/persona
temperaturefloatOptional. 0.0–1.0, default 1.0
top_pfloatOptional. Nucleus sampling threshold
stop_sequencesstring[]Optional. Custom stop strings
streambooleanOptional. Enable SSE streaming

Examples

See Step 1 (streaming), Step 2 (vision with base64 images), and Step 3 (structured JSON output) above. Python streaming example included.
