[DOCS] Terminology Inconsistency: Standardize "Claude Code SDK" to "Claude Agent SDK" in GitHub Actions documentation
Documentation Type
Missing documentation (feature not documented)
Documentation Location
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/github-actions
Section/Topic
The introductory paragraph and the "Note" box in the header section.
Current Documentation
"Claude Code GitHub Actions is built on top of the Claude Code SDK, which enables programmatic integration of Claude Code into your applications."
What's Wrong or Missing?
The term "Claude Code SDK" is deprecated. According to the version 2.0.0 release notes, the product was officially renamed to the "Claude Agent SDK." This terminology drift causes confusion for developers looking for the correct npm package (@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk) or those following the migration guide. While the "Headless" and "Agent SDK" sections of the documentation have been updated, the GitHub Actions page still refers to the old name.
Suggested Improvement
Update the text to use the current branding.
Suggested Text:
"Claude Code GitHub Actions is built on top of the Claude Agent SDK, which enables programmatic integration of Claude Code into your applications. You can use the SDK to build custom automation workflows beyond GitHub Actions."
Additionally, ensure all internal links pointing to the SDK overview use the updated URL: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/overview
Impact
High - Prevents users from using a feature
Additional Context
- The version 2.0.0 changelog entry explicitly states: "The Claude Code SDK is now the Claude Agent SDK."
- The official migration guide for developers can be found at https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/migration-guide.
- Standardizing this name across all sub-pages at https://code.claude.com and https://platform.claude.com will improve searchability and reduce onboarding friction for new users.
