Current Feedback

✅ More robust SSE parsing

currently the SSE implementation might not handle diced up Unicode bytes that result from TCP fragmentation, need to investigate.

• resolution: more tests have been added around SSE parsing

Middleware support

there is no easy way to modify / intercept the request & response types in the SDK, ie. users need to be able to easily add OpenTelemetry

• current priority: medium-high

HTTP proxy support

while HTTPS proxy should work, attempts to use the library with HTTP requests fails with 500 error

• current priority: medium

Testing matrix for Ruby runtimes

currently all of the ruby tests run on mRuby, and the gem is probably compatible with Jruby

• current priority: medium

Swappable HTTP client

currently the HTTP client is based on net-http, having swappable HTTP client would empower users who prefer say Faraday

• current priority: medium

Extended thinking examples

currently we are missing some examples! in particular users have requested for "thinking"

Hey @ms-jpq

Just wanted to mention that these two gems async and redcarpet don't support JRuby (or TruffleRuby).

I actually don't know much about Claude Code,

@chaselambda do you have state on this? 👍 Ty!

We currently have an internal team at Anthropic working on the Claude Code SDKs. So Ruby support won't be very near term.

Hi @ms-jpq , I'd like to work on the Swappable HTTP client.

I have Ruby on Rails experience and use Claude AI regularly, so I'm familiar with how Claude works. Study the existing examples/ folder to match the style, and test the example locally before opening a PR.

Is this still available to pick up?
