Using reasoning with Anthropic agents
This sample demonstrates how to use extended thinking/reasoning capabilities with Anthropic Claude agents.
What this sample demonstrates
- Creating an AI agent with Anthropic Claude extended thinking
- Using reasoning capabilities for complex problem solving
- Extracting thinking and response content from agent output
- Managing agent lifecycle
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
- .NET 8.0 SDK or later
- Anthropic API key configured
- Access to Anthropic Claude models with extended thinking support
Note: This sample uses Anthropic Claude models with extended thinking. For more information, see Anthropic documentation.
Set the following environment variables:
$env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-anthropic-api-key" # Replace with your Anthropic API key
$env:ANTHROPIC_MODEL="your-anthropic-model" # Replace with your Anthropic model
Run the sample
Navigate to the AgentWithAnthropic sample directory and run:
cd dotnet\samples\GettingStarted\AgentWithAnthropic
dotnet run --project .\Agent_Anthropic_Step02_Reasoning
Expected behavior
The sample will:
- Create an agent with Anthropic Claude extended thinking enabled
- Run the agent with a complex reasoning prompt
- Display the agent's thinking process
- Display the agent's final response
