   client = anthropic.Anthropic(api_key="your-api-key")

   # Upload the skill
   with open('{skill}-api-{version}.zip', 'rb') as f:
       skill = client.skills.create(
           file=f,
           name="{skill}"
       )

   print(f"Skill uploaded! ID: {{skill.id}}")
   ```

4. **Use in API requests**
   ```python
   response = client.messages.create(
       model="claude-sonnet-4",
       messages=[
           {{"role": "user", "content": "Your query here"}}
       ],
       container={{
           "type": "custom_skill",
           "skill_id": skill.id
       }},
       betas=[
           "code-execution-2025-08-25",
           "skills-2025-10-02"
       ]
   )

   print(response.content)
   ```
