Using Rapidata with Claude Code#

The Rapidata SDK has an official Claude Code plugin that teaches Claude how to use the SDK. Once installed, Claude can help you write Rapidata integration code, create labeling jobs, set up audiences, and more - either automatically when it detects you're working with Rapidata, or on demand via the /rapidata command.

Installation#

1. Add the marketplace#

In Claude Code, run:

/plugin marketplace add rapidataAI/skills

2. Install the plugin#

/plugin install rapidata-sdk-plugin@rapidata-sdk-marketplace

That's it. The /rapidata skill is now available.

Usage#

Automatic#

Claude will automatically use its knowledge of the Rapidata SDK when it detects you're working with Rapidata code. Just ask naturally:

Create a comparison job that evaluates image quality between two models

Set up a custom audience with 3 qualification examples for prompt adherence

Manual#

Invoke the skill directly for SDK guidance:

/rapidata

Or with a specific question:

/rapidata How do I set up early stopping with a confidence threshold?

What the plugin provides#

The plugin gives Claude detailed knowledge of:

  • Classification, comparison, and ranking jobs — creating job definitions, configuring parameters, and interpreting results
  • Audiences — finding curated audiences, creating custom audiences with qualification examples, applying demographic filters
  • Flows — continuous ranking without full job setup
  • MRI / Benchmarks — comparing and ranking AI models on leaderboards
  • Settings — NoShuffleSetting, AllowNeitherBothSetting, MarkdownSetting, and other display options
  • Error handling — working with FailedUploadException for partial upload failures
  • Legacy order API — backwards-compatible order creation

Keeping the plugin up to date#

To pull the latest version of the plugin:

/plugin marketplace update

Adding the plugin to your project#

To make the plugin available to all contributors of a project automatically, add this to your project's .claude/settings.json:

{
    "extraKnownMarketplaces": {
        "rapidata-sdk-marketplace": {
            "source": {
                "source": "github",
                "repo": "rapidataAI/skills"
            }
        }
    },
    "enabledPlugins": {
        "rapidata-sdk-plugin@rapidata-sdk-marketplace": true
    }
}

Contributors will be prompted to install the marketplace and plugin when they open the project.
