Cohere Skill Pack

24 production-ready Claude Code skills for Cohere API v2 — Chat, Embed, Rerank, Classify, RAG, and tool-use agents.

What This Covers

Every skill uses real Cohere API v2 code: CohereClientV2 from cohere-ai, actual model IDs (command-a-03-2025, embed-v4.0, rerank-v3.5), real streaming events (content-delta, citation-start, tool-call-start), real error types (CohereError, CohereTimeoutError), and real rate limits (trial: 20 calls/min, production: 1000 calls/min).

Installation

/plugin install cohere-pack@claude-code-plugins-plus
