- [Overview](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/cmek.md) - CuMeasured from the saved file
Size measures the captured UTF-8 text, not compressed transfer size. Tokens are counted with a named tokenizer; other models can count differently. Neither measure establishes context compatibility or answer quality.
Context architecture
5 H2 sections organize 809 parsed Markdown links. 808 links point to .md or .markdown paths; 0 link occurrences use another hostname. Linked destinations have not been recursively validated.
| H2 section | Links | UTF-8 bytes | Tokens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Root URLLine 5 | 0 | 82 | 17 |
| MCP serverLine 11 | 0 | 195 | 47 |
| SDK versionsLine 15 | 0 | 135 | 32 |
| Available Languages on WebsiteLine 19 | 0 | 1086 | 316 |
| EnglishLine 38 | 809 | 87312 | 23053 |
Link counts exclude parsed fenced and inline code and resolve relative destinations against the final endpoint. Section sizes cover the text below each H2 until the next H2.
Embedded material
Embedded example text and links to further documentation are counted separately. A code block does not establish that a sample runs or that an authentication flow succeeds.
Publisher prioritization
No H2 section named “Optional” was detected in this file.
The community proposal uses Optional by convention for secondary links that can be skipped for a shorter context. This label does not establish that everything outside it is critical, or that the material inside it is deprecated.
Machine-readable routes
MCP-related text was detected in the captured file. 15 links have MCP-related labels or paths. 0 fenced lines match mcpServers, mcp_servers or an mcp add command.
These are text and link observations. No MCP server connection, authentication or tool call was tested.
Index and bundle
Verified text companion
A verified text response establishes a companion at the checked URL. It does not prove the bundle contains all product documentation, that generation is automated, or that it fits an assistant’s context window.
Change evidence
This capture establishes a baseline. Update frequency cannot be determined from one observation.
31 links have release, changelog, deprecation or migration terms in their labels or paths. These provide places to investigate product changes separately.
File changes can reveal documentation edits or navigation changes. They do not by themselves measure product release velocity, accuracy, agent adoption or AI visibility.
405e34596f9f038f68caffc8dcdb4da996e22e8986aa43b58c95d6b2489702d1Counts use a deterministic parser, not a spec-compliance grade. Unusual Markdown and indented code can fall outside its recognized patterns. See the llms.txt proposal and tokenizer implementation.
