Stateless Tools

Why This Exists

A page that should be faster than a blog post

This hub is not a long-form opinion piece. It is a quick-recovery cheatsheet for developers who just need the key commands, settings, and official references again.

Faster return-to-work

The goal is to restore the command names, settings, and extension points you actually reach for, then get you back into the tool.

Official-doc first

These surfaces change quickly, so each cheatsheet stays anchored to official documentation rather than pretending to be the primary source.

Search-friendly structure

People often search for cheatsheets directly. These pages are meant to capture that intent while still routing into practical references.

Codex skills · stars

Codex-specific skills are still smaller than Claude's ecosystem, so pair this with multi-agent searches.
