Trigger

Action
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
Delegated tasks bounce back because the expected outcome and constraints were never written down.
- Improve first-pass handoffs
- Reduce clarification messages
- Make acceptance criteria explicit
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 5Test with one task intended for someone else.
Questions about this workflow
Will it assign the task to someone?
No. It prepares the handoff content; assignment requires a supported Todoist action.
Can I use a custom handoff format?
