TodoExtractor — Library Usage Demo

The TodoExtractor sample demonstrates how to use JD.SemanticKernel.Connectors.ClaudeCode directly as a library — no dotnet tool packaging, no plugins, just a minimal Semantic Kernel chat completion call.

What it does

Feeds a block of natural-language standup notes into Claude and receives back a structured JSON array of actionable todo items, each with an assignee, task description, blocker, and priority.

This showcases:

  • One-liner kernel setup via UseClaudeCodeChatCompletion()
  • ClaudeModels constants for discoverable model selection
  • Prompt-only workflow (no plugins or function calling)
  • Structured output from unstructured text

Running

# From the repository root
dotnet run --project samples/TodoExtractor --framework net8.0

# Optionally pass a different model
dotnet run --project samples/TodoExtractor --framework net8.0 -- claude-haiku-4-5-20251001

✅ Done

Key code

The entire sample is a single Program.cs:

var kernel = Kernel.CreateBuilder()
    .UseClaudeCodeChatCompletion(ClaudeModels.Default)
    .Build();

var chat = kernel.GetRequiredService<IChatCompletionService>();

var history = new ChatHistory();
history.AddSystemMessage("You are a project manager assistant...");
history.AddUserMessage(standupNotes);

var response = await chat.GetChatMessageContentAsync(history);
Console.WriteLine(response.Content);

No plugins, no function calling, no tool registration — just UseClaudeCodeChatCompletion() and a prompt.
