Create Claude documentation page — via Claude bot

New page

'''Claude''' is a family of large language models developed by [https://www.anthropic.com Anthropic]. This page documents how Claude is used and integrated in Damme's workflow, including API access, the Cowork desktop app, and automated wiki editing via bot.

== Model Family ==
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Model !! Strengths !! Typical Use
|-
| Claude Opus || Deepest reasoning, complex analysis || Architecture decisions, thorough code review, long documents
|-
| Claude Sonnet || Balanced speed and capability || Day-to-day coding, research, writing
|-
| Claude Haiku || Fast, lightweight || Quick lookups, classification, simple edits
|}

Current models are versioned (e.g. claude-opus-4-6, claude-sonnet-4-5). Check [https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/about-claude/models Anthropic's model page] for the latest.

== Access Methods ==

=== Cowork (Desktop App) ===
Primary interface. Runs a cloud sandbox with shell, file tools, and browser automation. Key capabilities:
* Full Linux environment with Python, Node, common CLI tools
* File creation and delivery (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, HTML)
* Web search and page fetching
* Connection to the local machine via device bridge (file access, local shell)
* Built-in browser for authenticated site interaction
* Scheduled tasks (recurring or one-shot)
* Persistent memory across sessions

=== API ===
Direct API access via <code>https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages</code>. Requires an API key from [https://console.anthropic.com the Anthropic Console].

Basic request structure:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
curl https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_KEY" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-d '{
"model": "claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
"max_tokens": 1024,
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
}'
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Claude Code (CLI) ===
Command-line tool for agentic coding. Runs in a terminal, can read/write files, run shell commands, and manage git workflows. Supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for extensibility.

== Wiki Integration ==

=== Bot Setup ===
Claude can edit this wiki via the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page MediaWiki API] using a bot password.

'''Configuration on the wiki side:'''
# Go to <code>Special:BotPasswords</code> logged in as an admin
# Create a bot password with appropriate grants (''Edit existing pages'', ''Create, edit, and move pages'', ''Upload new files'')
# Note the bot username (<code>Username@BotName</code>) and generated password
# Ensure <code>$wgEnableAPI = true;</code> and <code>$wgEnableWriteAPI = true;</code> in <code>LocalSettings.php</code> (both default to true)

'''Authentication flow:'''
# Obtain a login token: <code>action=query&meta=tokens&type=login</code>
# POST login with <code>action=login</code>, bot username, password, and token
# Obtain a CSRF token: <code>action=query&meta=tokens</code>
# Use the CSRF token for edit/create operations

'''Network access note:''' The Cowork cloud sandbox cannot reach this wiki directly (egress allowlist). The connection goes through the built-in browser on the linked desktop, using JavaScript <code>fetch()</code> calls against the API. This works because the browser runs on the local machine which can resolve <code>wiki.wiegert.link</code>.

=== What Claude Can Do on This Wiki ===
* Create and edit pages (wikitext)
* Create subpage hierarchies
* Add categories and interwiki links
* Upload files (with the right grants)
* Read and summarize existing content

=== Limitations ===
* No direct shell/curl access from cloud — must use browser JS bridge
* Each browser JS call is a separate execution context (no persistent variables across calls unless stored on <code>window</code>)
* Bot edits are attributed to the wiki user account, not a separate bot identity
* Rate limiting may apply for bulk operations

== Prompting Tips ==
* Be specific and concrete — Claude works best with clear requirements
* Provide examples of desired output when format matters
* For code: specify language, framework, and constraints upfront
* For wiki edits: provide the page title and describe the desired content structure
* Use <code>CLAUDE.md</code> files in project roots to give persistent context to Claude Code sessions

== MCP (Model Context Protocol) ==
Claude supports MCP servers — local or remote services that expose tools, resources, and prompts. Useful for:
* Connecting to databases, APIs, or custom workflows
* Extending Claude's capabilities beyond built-in tools
* Integrating with project-specific toolchains

See [https://modelcontextprotocol.io MCP documentation] for the specification.
