Reference guide. This article draws on primary documentation and editorial recommendations; no production measurements are reported.
A protocol you can inspect
The Model Context Protocol architecture documentation is a useful starting point for understanding the roles of hosts, clients, and servers. Read the boundaries before wiring new capabilities into an agent. A protocol connection does not by itself establish that a tool is suitable for your task.
A query plan you can read
SQLite’s query plan guide makes a familiar operation more visible. Try it against a representative query from your own project and inspect the scan and index strategy. Do not build a parser that assumes the display format will remain stable.
A browser that can explain itself
MDN’s Performance APIs overview is a map of browser measurement capabilities. Start with the user interaction you care about, then decide which timing data helps explain it. Numbers need a scenario and an environment to be interpretable.
A reading list, not a leaderboard
