# Implementation Examples - Production-Ready Code

Complete, production-ready code examples for implementing Claude Agent SDK improvements.

## Example 1: Enhanced Web Research Agent

### Before
```typescript
// src/agents/webResearchAgent.ts
import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

export async function webResearchAgent(input: string) {
  const result = query({
    prompt: input,
    options: {
      systemPrompt: `You perform fast web-style reconnaissance and return a concise bullet list of findings.`
    }
  });

  let output = '';
  for await (const msg of result) {
    if (msg.type === 'assistant') {
      output += msg.message.content?.map((c: any) => c.type === 'text' ? c.text : '').join('');
    }
  }

  return { output };
}
```

## Example 2: Resilient Orchestrator

```typescript
// src/orchestrator/ResilientOrchestrator.ts
import { webResearchAgent } from '../agents/webResearchAgent';
import { codeReviewAgent } from '../agents/codeReviewAgent';
import { dataAgent } from '../agents/dataAgent';
import { logger } from '../utils/logger';

    this.retryPolicy = new RetryPolicy({
      maxRetries: 3,
      backoffMs: 1000,
      maxBackoffMs: 30000
    });
  }

  async orchestrate(task: string): Promise<OrchestrationResult> {

    ]);

    // Extract results and failures

      ? reviewResult.value
      : null;

    const data = dataResult.status === 'fulfilled'
      ? dataResult.value
      : null;

    const failures: string[] = [];

    if (researchResult.status === 'rejected') {
      logger.error('Research agent failed', {
        error: researchResult.reason
      });
      failures.push(`research: ${researchResult.reason.message}`);
    }

    if (reviewResult.status === 'rejected') {

    }

    // Generate summary from available results
    const summary = this.generateSummary({
      research,
      review,
      data,
      failures
    });

    const totalCost = [research, review, data]
      .filter(Boolean)

        sections.push(`- ${failure}`);
      });
    }

    return sections.join('\n');
  }
}
```

## Example 3: Retry Policy Utility

```typescript
// src/utils/RetryPolicy.ts
import { logger } from './logger';

export interface RetryConfig {
  maxRetries: number;
  backoffMs: number;
  maxBackoffMs: number;
}

export class RetryPolicy {
  constructor(private config: RetryConfig) {}

  async execute<T>(fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
    let lastError: Error;

    for (let attempt = 0; attempt <= this.config.maxRetries; attempt++) {
      try {
        return await fn();
      } catch (error: any) {
        lastError = error;

        // Don't retry on last attempt
        if (attempt === this.config.maxRetries) {
          throw error;
        }

        // Check if error is retriable
        if (!this.isRetriable(error)) {
          logger.warn('Non-retriable error, not retrying', {
            error: error.message,
            code: error.code
          });
          throw error;
        }

        // Calculate exponential backoff
        const backoff = Math.min(
          this.config.backoffMs * Math.pow(2, attempt),
          this.config.maxBackoffMs
        );

        logger.warn(`Retry attempt ${attempt + 1}/${this.config.maxRetries}`, {
          error: error.message,
          backoffMs: backoff,
          attempt: attempt + 1
        });

        await this.sleep(backoff);
      }
    }

    throw lastError!;
  }

  private isRetriable(error: any): boolean {
    const retriableCodes = [
      'rate_limit_error',
      'overloaded_error',
      'timeout_error',
      'ECONNRESET',
      'ETIMEDOUT',
      'ECONNREFUSED'
    ];

    const retriableStatuses = [429, 500, 502, 503, 504];

    return (
      retriableCodes.some(code =>
        error.code === code ||
        error.message?.toLowerCase().includes(code.toLowerCase())
      ) ||
      retriableStatuses.includes(error.status) ||
      retriableStatuses.includes(error.statusCode)
    );
  }

  private sleep(ms: number): Promise<void> {
    return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
  }
}
```

## Example 4: Structured Logging

```typescript
// src/utils/logger.ts
import winston from 'winston';

const logFormat = winston.format.combine(
  winston.format.timestamp({
    format: 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss'
  }),
  winston.format.errors({ stack: true }),
  winston.format.splat(),
  winston.format.json()
);

export const logger = winston.createLogger({
  level: process.env.LOG_LEVEL || 'info',
  format: logFormat,
  defaultMeta: {
    service: 'claude-agent-orchestrator',
    version: process.env.npm_package_version || '0.1.0'
  },
  transports: [
    // Console output for development
    new winston.transports.Console({
      format: winston.format.combine(
        winston.format.colorize(),
        winston.format.simple()
      )
    }),

    // File output for production
    new winston.transports.File({
      filename: 'logs/error.log',
      level: 'error',
      maxsize: 10 * 1024 * 1024, // 10MB
      maxFiles: 5
    }),

    new winston.transports.File({
      filename: 'logs/combined.log',
      maxsize: 10 * 1024 * 1024, // 10MB
      maxFiles: 10
    })
  ]
});

// Create logs directory if it doesn't exist
import { existsSync, mkdirSync } from 'fs';
if (!existsSync('logs')) {
  mkdirSync('logs');
}
```

## Example 5: Prometheus Metrics

```typescript
// src/utils/metrics.ts
import { Registry, Counter, Histogram, Gauge } from 'prom-client';

export const registry = new Registry();

registry.setDefaultLabels({
  app: 'claude-agent-orchestrator',
  environment: process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development'
});

export const metrics = {
  agentExecutions: new Counter({
    name: 'agent_executions_total',
    help: 'Total number of agent executions',
    labelNames: ['agent', 'status'],
    registers: [registry]
  }),

  executionDuration: new Histogram({
    name: 'agent_execution_duration_seconds',
    help: 'Agent execution duration in seconds',
    labelNames: ['agent'],
    buckets: [0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 30, 60, 300],
    registers: [registry]
  }),

  activeAgents: new Gauge({
    name: 'agent_active_count',
    help: 'Number of currently active agents',
    labelNames: ['agent'],
    registers: [registry]
  }),

  tokenUsage: new Counter({
    name: 'agent_tokens_total',
    help: 'Total tokens used by agents',
    labelNames: ['agent', 'type'],
    registers: [registry]
  }),

  costUSD: new Counter({
    name: 'agent_cost_usd_total',
    help: 'Total cost in USD',
    labelNames: ['agent'],
    registers: [registry]
  }),

  toolExecutions: new Counter({
    name: 'agent_tool_executions_total',
    help: 'Total tool executions',
    labelNames: ['agent', 'tool', 'status'],
    registers: [registry]
  }),

  errors: new Counter({
    name: 'agent_errors_total',
    help: 'Total number of errors',
    labelNames: ['agent', 'error_type'],
    registers: [registry]
  })
};

export function getMetrics(): Promise<string> {
  return registry.metrics();
}
```

## Example 6: Health Check Server

## Example 11: Prometheus Configuration

```yaml
# prometheus.yml
global:
  scrape_interval: 15s
  evaluation_interval: 15s

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'claude-agents'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['agent-orchestrator:3000']
    metrics_path: '/metrics'
```
