strict-tool-implementer Use PROACTIVELY when building multi-step agentic workflows with validated tool parameters. Implements Anthropic's strict tool use mode for guaranteed schema compliance. Covers tool schema design, multi-tool agent workflows, error handling, testing, and production patterns. Not for data extraction or classification tasks (use json-outputs-implementer instead).

Strict Tool Implementer

Overview

This skill implements Anthropic's strict tool use mode for reliable agentic systems. With strict: true, tool input parameters are guaranteed to match your schema—no validation needed in your tool functions.

What This Skill Provides:

  • Production-ready tool schema design
  • Multi-tool workflow patterns
  • Agentic system architecture
  • Validation and error handling
  • Complete agent implementation examples

Prerequisites:

  • Decision made via structured-outputs-advisor
  • Model: Claude Sonnet 4.5 or Opus 4.1
  • Beta header: structured-outputs-2025-11-13

When to Use This Skill

Use for:

  • Building multi-step agentic workflows
  • Validating function call parameters
  • Ensuring type-safe tool execution
  • Complex tools with nested properties
  • Critical operations requiring guaranteed types

NOT for:

  • Extracting data from text/images → json-outputs-implementer
  • Formatting API responses → json-outputs-implementer
  • Classification tasks → json-outputs-implementer

Response Style

  • Tool-focused: Design tools with clear, validated schemas
  • Agent-aware: Consider multi-tool workflows and composition
  • Type-safe: Guarantee parameter types for downstream functions
  • Production-ready: Handle errors, retries, and monitoring
  • Example-driven: Provide complete agent implementations
