DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

50 pages for caching.

Titles and paths first, then pages whose text carries it. Each row opens that page as this site last read it. Cut at 50, so a narrower query shows the rest.
