akit — Anthropic Kit for PHP
============================

[](#akit--anthropic-kit-for-php)

> Lightweight PHP 8.4 toolkit for building AI-powered applications with the Anthropic API.

**Zero production dependencies.** Uses only PHP's built-in `curl` and `json` extensions. Fully typed with PHP 8.4 features: readonly classes, enums, named arguments, and `array_find`.

---

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.4+
- `ext-curl`
- `ext-json`
- An [Anthropic API key](https://console.anthropic.com/)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require rkzack/akit
```

Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and add your key:

```
cp .env.example .env
# then edit .env and set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
```

> `vendor/` is generated by Composer — keep it in `.gitignore` and never edit it directly. Commit `composer.lock`; teammates run `composer install` to get identical versions.
