[DOCS] TypeScript SDK installation missing required zod peer dependency

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Jan 26, 2026 by coygeek Closed Feb 28, 2026

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/typescript

Section/Topic

"Installation" section

Current Documentation

The installation section shows:

``bash npm install @anthropic-ai/agent-sdk ``

What's Wrong or Missing?

The TypeScript SDK has a peer dependency on zod for schema validation, but this is not mentioned in the installation instructions. Users following the documentation may encounter runtime errors when zod is not installed.

Suggested Improvement

Update the installation instructions to include the peer dependency:

Before:

npm install @anthropic-ai/agent-sdk

After:

npm install @anthropic-ai/agent-sdk zod

Or add a note about peer dependencies:

Note: This SDK requires zod as a peer dependency for schema validation: ``bash npm install @anthropic-ai/agent-sdk zod ``

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
