Gemini Handoff: Anthropic Documentation Ingestion

Context

The vault has almost no dedicated Anthropic documentation coverage. Anthropic appears mainly as:

  • MCP origin context
  • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY tooling references
  • Claude review workflow references
  • scattered mentions of the Messages API in unrelated notes

There is not yet a meaningful Anthropic raw-doc corpus or a coherent Anthropic API note cluster.

Your role is the Librarian / Ingester for the first bounded Anthropic batch.

Task

Ingest a tightly scoped Anthropic documentation batch focused on API fundamentals and turn it into a small, useful set of source-grounded notes.

Scope

Work only on these themes:

  1. authentication and request model
  2. Messages API structure
  3. streaming behavior
  4. tool use / tool-calling behavior
  5. error handling and rate limits
  6. prompt caching, only if the source corpus clearly supports it

Do not broaden into:

  • Anthropic marketing/product positioning
  • general Claude product pages
  • speculative model comparisons
  • safety/policy pages unless needed to explain API behavior
  • Claude Code usage patterns unless they directly support the API/tooling lane

Required Outputs

Raw Sources

Populate:

  • 00_Raw/anthropic/

Use narrowly scoped, clearly attributable source captures.

Literature Note

Create:

  • 01_Wiki/lit-anthropic-messages-api.md

This note should summarize the first-batch source set faithfully and mark provider-specific or changing details clearly.

Permanent Notes

Create only the permanent notes justified by the corpus. Expected likely set:

  • 01_Wiki/anthropic-messages-api.md
  • 01_Wiki/anthropic-tool-use.md
  • 01_Wiki/anthropic-streaming-patterns.md
  • 01_Wiki/anthropic-error-handling.md

Optional:

  • 01_Wiki/anthropic-prompt-caching.md

Only create the prompt-caching note if the source evidence is strong enough for a standalone note.

Graph Integration

Do light graph integration only where it is clearly natural. Likely surfaces:

  • 01_Wiki/index.md
  • 01_Wiki/agentic-frameworks-moc.md
  • 01_Wiki/agent-tools.md

Prefer minimal, high-signal edits. Do not sprawl into unrelated note clusters.

Quality Rules

  • Keep notes implementation-facing.
  • Distinguish documented Anthropic behavior from vault-local recommendations.
  • Use caveats where model names, limits, or operational semantics may drift.
  • Do not create many thin notes from one small source set.
  • Avoid redlinks unless they are clearly necessary.

Stop Condition

Stop after the first bounded Anthropic batch is complete:

  • 00_Raw/anthropic/ exists with real source captures
  • one literature note exists
  • a small justified permanent-note cluster exists
  • basic graph discoverability is in place

Do not start a second Anthropic batch in the same session.
