What it does

Cohere SDK Patterns is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Implement a typed Cohere v2 provider boundary with timeouts, bounded retries, streaming, and response validation. Use when standardizing production SDK usage. Trigger with "Cohere SDK patterns", "Cohere client wrapper", or "refactor Cohere client".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Cohere API key

It sits in Backend & APIs. 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

  • Standardizing production SDK usage
  • With Cohere SDK patterns
  • Cohere client wrapper
  • Refactor Cohere client

Example prompts

  • “Cohere SDK patterns”
  • “Cohere client wrapper”
  • “refactor Cohere client”
  • “/cohere-sdk-patterns”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in CO_API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Cohere API key
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Inventory current direct SDK calls and group them by Chat, Embed, Rerank, and model discovery.
  2. Define typed request and result contracts that expose only application-required fields.
  3. Centralize timeout, redaction, retry eligibility, and model resolution.
  4. Implement streaming as an async iterator with cancellation and terminal-event validation.
  5. Add contract fixtures for success, partial stream, timeout, limit, and schema drift.
  6. Migrate one call site at a time and delete direct SDK access only after parity tests pass.

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
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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):

    • github.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • CO_API_KEY

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

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Cohere API key

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Cohere SDK Patterns loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 453 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

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.

Cohere SDK Integration Patterns

Overview

Wrap generated SDK clients behind a small application contract so model changes, provider errors, and migrations stay localized.

Prerequisites

  • The target repository, runtime, environment, and accountable owner
  • An approved Cohere team and key for any live verification
  • Current quality, security, privacy, capacity, and change-control requirements

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect code, configuration, and evidence. Use WebFetch only for current Cohere primary documentation. Use Write or Edit only when the user requested implementation and the exact target files are known; never write credentials or customer content.

Current Contract

  • Instantiate one configured v2 client per runtime process unless tenancy requires a separate credential boundary.
  • Require callers to supply an operation purpose, bounded timeout, and resolved model ID.
  • Retry only transient transport, 429, and eligible 5xx failures with jitter and a total-attempt ceiling.
  • Normalize Chat content, citations, tool calls, Embed vectors, Rerank scores, usage, and provider request metadata at the boundary.

Authentication

Use an environment-specific key injected from an approved secret manager. Never print, persist, commit, or place CO_API_KEY in an example. Confirm access with the least costly bounded operation appropriate to the task, and treat key creation, rotation, revocation, role changes, and production-capacity requests as owner-approved actions.

Instructions

  1. Inventory current direct SDK calls and group them by Chat, Embed, Rerank, and model discovery.
  2. Define typed request and result contracts that expose only application-required fields.
  3. Centralize timeout, redaction, retry eligibility, and model resolution.
  4. Implement streaming as an async iterator with cancellation and terminal-event validation.
  5. Add contract fixtures for success, partial stream, timeout, limit, and schema drift.
  6. Migrate one call site at a time and delete direct SDK access only after parity tests pass.

Approval Boundaries

Do not expose or rotate keys, change Cohere Team roles, accept commercial terms, enable sensitive production data, increase spend or capacity, switch production models, send a support bundle, or execute model-proposed side effects without the accountable owner's approval. Keep diagnosis read-only unless implementation was requested.

Output

Return the resolved API and model contract, files or settings inspected, evidence collected, validation result, remaining risk, owner, and rollback or next action. Redact keys, authorization headers, prompts, retrieved documents, embeddings, customer identifiers, and unrestricted environment output.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Unknown eventPreserve it in diagnostics and fail the affected stream safely.
Retry stormEnforce jitter, an attempt ceiling, and a shared concurrency budget.
Type driftUpdate the adapter against the pinned SDK and add a fixture.
Empty contentTreat it as an invalid result unless the operation expected tool calls.

Examples

Use this compact handoff shape to keep the selected scope, validation evidence, and operational result reviewable.

Input:

text
operations=chat,embed,rerank; timeout=15s; retries=2; stream-cancel=true

Expected handoff:

text
adapter=typed; direct-sdk-calls=0; fixtures=pass; retry-budget=bounded
