ReframedReadabilityConversionTitle, id, description, tags, license and a primary CTA in one header card, with copyable id + Artifact and an estimated-time-saved stat. Title, id, description, tags and license are real (tags = the page’s “### Tags”); languages are derived; time-saved is placeholder (phase-2, from platform run data — not AI). New: the Copy-as-Markdown action — the AI-consumption entry (a per-page .md / llms.txt export; phase 2).

ReframedDeveloper understandingAI parsingReal today (recipe descriptor): each option’s type, name, description, example, and required/optional state. Reframed: a structured card where type and required/optional read as labelled badges — but it stays a semantic table (Parameter / Type / Description / Example) so crawlers and screen readers parse it cleanly. Flexibility: every option renders as a row (no cap); the header tallies required vs optional and scales with the count.

ReframedReadabilityDeveloper understandingReal today (generator): recipe list + YAML as tabs. New: the recipe list becomes searchable above 15 items (the job is “is X bundled?”), and a tab-level Copy YAML supports copy-to-customize without switching tabs.

Definition

6 recipes
ReframedReadabilityDeveloper understandingReal today (generator): the composite recipes that include this one, linked to their detail pages. Flexibility: the same list widget as Definition — inline when short, searchable/bounded above 15 items. Used-by counts run 1–347, so search beats an endless list. Reflects the open-source catalog only (enterprise/private usage isn’t surfaced) — flagged inline so it isn’t mistaken for the full picture.

ReframedReadabilityAI parsingReal before/after/diff. New UI: each example is a collapsible container (first open, with an Expand/Collapse-all toggle when there’s more than one), matching the data tables — so the rare many-example pages (counts run 0–26, median 1) stay tidy instead of growing an endless column. Collapsed bodies remain in the DOM, so every example is crawlable and in the .md / llms.txt export.

ReframedDeveloper understandingThe real RunRecipe component with the page’s actual props (CLI run + jar install). New: each form is a collapsible container (first open, with an Expand/Collapse-all toggle when there’s more than one variant), matching the data tables. The master shows every variant the component renders — Java/JVM, with-configuration, and JavaScript / Python / C# package forms.

ReframedDeveloper understandingReal today (generator): data-table names and column descriptions. Reframed: a collapsible list instead of a tab strip (first open, with an Expand/Collapse-all toggle when there’s more than one) — it scales to any number of tables and stays readable on narrow screens. Every table’s columns remain in the page markup even while collapsed, so crawlers and the .md export still read them.
