Anthropic SDK (TypeScript)

AI-ASSISTANTS
Velocity7.5

Official TypeScript/JavaScript SDK for the Anthropic API; also includes vertex and bedrock variants.

The TypeScript SDK tracks the platform's new surfaces while its provider packages tag empty commits.

Current state
The core sdk package moves quickly against the API — the latest release adds files and memory store operations, skill and user profile updates, and helpers for reading the workspace ID out of response headers, while removing a mid-conversation system content block the API no longer supports. Session-runner reliability got attention too, with tool-result sends now retried for at least the lease TTL. The Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry packages, meanwhile, keep publishing versions whose entire changelog is an empty commit to trigger builds.
Where it's heading
Two release streams with very different content share one feed. The core SDK follows the platform's expansion into agent infrastructure — Managed Agents sessions and threads, deployments, and now memory stores and skills — which means the SDK's surface is a fair readout of where the API itself is going. The provider packages are release-train artifacts, republished whenever the monorepo builds, and they routinely outnumber the substantive releases in any given window. The mid-conversation system block removal is worth noting as a rare subtraction: a feature the SDK shipped earlier this year is now gone from the API.
Prediction
Expect the provider packages to keep shipping empty-commit tags whenever the core sdk moves, and the next real release to continue narrowing behavioral gaps between the TypeScript SDK and its siblings rather than adding surface.

Recent moves

    sdk 0.118.0: files and memory store operations, workspace ID helpers

    The substantive release in this window: files and memory store additions, skill and user profile updates, and workspace ID accessors on response headers. It also removes the mid-conversation system content block the SDK added earlier this year, and makes session-runner tool-result sends retry for the lease duration — a reliability fix for long-running agent work.

    foundry-sdk 0.4.3: build-trigger commits only

    A version tag whose changelog is two empty commits raised to trigger builds. No code change reaches users.

    bedrock-sdk 0.32.4: build-trigger commits only

    The Bedrock provider republished from the same empty commits as its siblings. These tags fill the release window without carrying content.

    vertex-sdk 0.19.4: build-trigger commits only

    The Vertex provider's turn in the same batch — third of three identical empty-commit releases published the same day.

    sdk 0.117.1: npm re-publish and preview-build tagging

    Release-workflow plumbing: manual npm re-publishing and branch-name tagging for preview builds. Infrastructure for shipping rather than anything shipped.

    foundry-sdk 0.4.2: build-trigger commit

    A single empty commit published as a version. The fourth such tag in this six-entry window, which is the ratio worth knowing when reading this feed.
