What
Claude Code ships with a built-in claude-api skill. A skill is a bundle of instructions and reference documents that Claude can pull in when a task calls for it. This skill now includes a new reference document, shared/google-cloud-anthropic-managed.md, about using Anthropic's models through Google Cloud.
Why
If you ask Claude Code for help building with the Claude API on Google Cloud, it now has dedicated reference material to draw on instead of relying only on general knowledge.
