Stateless Agent

A basic Python agent built with the Anthropic SDK that processes each user message independently, with no conversation history retained between turns. Each message sent to the model is treated as a fresh conversation — the agent has no memory of prior exchanges.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• An Anthropic API key
• The anthropic Python package

Install the required package:

pip install anthropic

Set your API key as an environment variable:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Run the Sample

python chat.py

Once running, type a message and press Enter to get a response. Type quit to exit.
