  • Building Complex Systems: Architectural design for coordinating multiple agents rather than single agents
  • Production Operations Knowledge: Implementation patterns for scaling, error handling, and cost reduction
  • Extending Custom Features: Build custom MCP servers to implement project-specific tools
  • Business Monetization: Implementation and real-world examples of business models using Claude API

Multi-Agent System Design and Implementation

Efficiently handle complex tasks by distributing roles among multiple agents.

Orchestrator/Worker Configuration with Agent SDK

This pattern uses an orchestrator agent to control multiple worker agents and distribute tasks.

from anthropic import Anthropic
 
client = Anthropic()

Parallel Execution of Sub-Agents with Claude Code Task Tool

Use Claude Code's Task tool to run multiple independent tasks in parallel.

import asyncio
from anthropic import Anthropic
 
client = Anthropic()
 
async def parallel_data_processing():
    """Process multiple datasets in parallel"""
 
    # Datasets to process
    datasets = [
        {"id": 1, "name": "Sales Q1", "size": 50000},
        {"id": 2, "name": "Sales Q2", "size": 75000},
        {"id": 3, "name": "Sales Q3", "size": 60000},
    ]
 
    # Task to process each dataset
    async def process_dataset(dataset):
        print(f"▶ Processing {dataset['name']}...")
 
        response = client.messages.create(
            model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
            max_tokens=512,
            messages=[

                }
            ]
        )
 
        import json
        result = json.loads(response.content[0].text)
        result["dataset_id"] = dataset["id"]
 
        print(f"✓ {dataset['name']} processing complete")
        return result
 
    # Process all datasets in parallel
    tasks = [process_dataset(ds) for ds in datasets]
    results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
 
    # Aggregate results
    print("\n[Aggregated Results]")
    total_revenue = sum(r.get("estimated_revenue", 0) for r in results)
    print(f"Total Revenue: ${total_revenue:,}")
 
    return results
 
# Async execution (for actual use)
# results = asyncio.run(parallel_data_processing())

Error Recovery and Retry Strategies

In production, handling temporary failures is critical.

import time
from anthropic import APIError
 
def call_api_with_retry(
    messages: list,
    max_retries: int = 3,
    initial_wait: int = 1
) -> str:
    """API call with error handling and retry logic"""
 
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            response = client.messages.create(
                model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
                max_tokens=1024,
                messages=messages
            )
            return response.content[0].text
 
        except APIError as e:
            if attempt < max_retries - 1:
                wait_time = initial_wait * (2 ** attempt)  # exponential backoff
                print(f"⚠ Error: {e.message}")
                print(f"  Retrying in {wait_time} seconds... (attempt {attempt + 1}/{max_retries})")
                time.sleep(wait_time)
            else:
                print(f"✗ Failed after {max_retries} attempts")
                raise
 
def call_api_with_fallback(messages: list, fallback_model: str = "claude-3-haiku-20250307") -> str:
    """Use fallback model if main model fails"""
 
    try:
        response = client.messages.create(
            model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
            max_tokens=1024,
            messages=messages
        )
        return response.content[0].text
 
    except APIError:
        print(f"⚠ Main model unavailable. Using fallback model.")
 
        response = client.messages.create(

            max_tokens=512,
            messages=messages
        )
        return response.content[0].text

Production-Grade API Operations

Scaling, cost optimization, and reliability become critical in production.

Streaming with Concurrent Tool Use

Realize fast responses and tool integration simultaneously.

import Anthropic from "@anthropic-ai/sdk";
 
const client = new Anthropic({
  apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
});
 
const tools = [
  {
    name: "get_weather",

      properties: {
        location: {
          type: "string",
          description: "Location name",
        },
      },
      required: ["location"],
    },
  },
  {
    name: "get_stock_price",
    description: "Get current stock price",
    input_schema: {
      type: "object" as const,
      properties: {
        symbol: {
          type: "string",
          description: "Ticker symbol (e.g., AAPL)",
        },
      },
      required: ["symbol"],
    },
  },
];
 
async function executeWithTools(userQuery: string): Promise<void> {
  console.log(`User: ${userQuery}\n`);
 
  let messages: Anthropic.Messages.MessageParam[] = [
    { role: "user", content: userQuery },
  ];
 
  // Tool use loop
  while (true) {
    const response = await client.messages.create({
      model: "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
      max_tokens: 1024,
      tools: tools,
      messages: messages,
    });
 
    // Output streaming text
    for (const block of response.content) {
      if (block.type === "text") {
        process.stdout.write(block.text);
      }
    }
 
    // Check if tool use needed
    if (response.stop_reason !== "tool_use") {
      console.log("\n");
      break;
    }
 
    // Process tool calls
    const toolResults: Anthropic.Messages.ToolResultBlockParam[] = [];
 
    for (const block of response.content) {
      if (block.type === "tool_use") {
        console.log(`\n[Tool Execute] ${block.name}(${JSON.stringify(block.input)})`);
 
        // Simulate actual tool execution
        let result = "";
        if (block.name === "get_weather") {
          result = `${block.input.location} weather: Sunny, 25°C`;
        } else if (block.name === "get_stock_price") {
          result = `${block.input.symbol} current price: $150.25`;
        }
 
        toolResults.push({
          type: "tool_result",
          tool_use_id: block.id,
          content: result,
        });
      }
    }
 
    // Add tool results to messages
    messages.push({ role: "assistant", content: response.content });
    messages.push({
      role: "user",
      content: toolResults,
    });
  }
}
 
// Execution example
executeWithTools(
  "Tell me the weather in Tokyo and Apple's stock price"
);

Cost Optimization (Caching, Batch Processing, Model Selection)

Multiple techniques to reduce API costs.

from anthropic import Anthropic
 
client = Anthropic()
 
# Technique 1: Prompt caching
def cached_analysis(large_context: str, query: str) -> str:

print(f"Estimated cost: ${estimate_api_cost(5000, 1000, 'claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022'):.6f}")

Rate Limiting and Graceful Degradation

Patterns for handling API rate limits.

from anthropic import RateLimitError

Tool Definition and Validation (Zod)

Strict input validation pattern.

import { z } from "zod";
 
// Define validation with Zod schema
const AnalyzeCSVSchema = z.object({
  filepath: z
    .string()
    .min(1, "File path required")
    .regex(/\.csv$/, "Only CSV files supported"),
  operation: z.enum(["summary", "describe", "correlate"]),
  includeHeaders: z.boolean().optional().default(true),
});
 
type AnalyzeCSVInput = z.infer<typeof AnalyzeCSVSchema>;
 
// Handler with validation
function analyzeCSV(input: unknown): string {
  try {
    const validated: AnalyzeCSVInput = AnalyzeCSVSchema.parse(input);
 
    // Business logic here
    const { filepath, operation, includeHeaders } = validated;
 
    if (operation === "summary") {
      return `Display summary of ${filepath} (headers: ${includeHeaders})`;
    }
 
    return `Processing complete: ${operation}`;
  } catch (error) {
    if (error instanceof z.ZodError) {
      return `Validation error: ${error.errors[0].message}`;
    }
 
    throw error;
  }
}
