Create Anthropic Message
Tool to create a model response using DeepSeek's Anthropic-compatible API format with support for system prompts, tool calling, streaming, and thinking mode. Use when you need to generate chat completions using the Anthropic Messages API format. Requires base_url='https://api.deepseek.com/anthropic' or metadata base_url ending with '/anthropic'. Supports extended thinking, function calling with tools, and streaming responses. Note: Images and documents are not supported in content blocks.
Why this helps
Vague completion criteria can lead to repeated clarification and work that does not meet the original need.
- Start with concrete, testable completion criteria.
- Keep assumptions visible for review.
- Reduce back-and-forth about what done means.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and DeepSeek to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis for it conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction asking DeepSeek for draft acceptance criteria and explicit assumptions from each new issue.
- 4Select the Linear Issue Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real issue and refine your instruction if needed.
Questions about this workflow
Will DeepSeek change the issue description?
No. It generates suggested criteria through the automation run.
Can it avoid inventing requirements?
Ask it to base criteria only on the issue and label any needed clarification rather than assuming.
