Source map
Primary Sources
Every protocol on Curious Claude is anchored to first-party Anthropic documentation or public policy/research pages where possible. Secondary commentary is useful for context, but it is not the evidence base here.

Primary first
The source map prioritizes Anthropic documentation, public system cards, transparency pages, and research or policy pages.
Fact
Record source state
Experiments should record the date and source state when a claim depends on current Claude behavior.
Fact
Sources are not results
A source can document a capability surface; it does not prove a local protocol outcome without a run.
