There are some difficulties with that because of system prompts and default tools.
Claude.ai/ClaudeCode by default read websites using the built-in WebFetch tool. The WebFetch tool loads the HTML, turns it into Markdown and feeds it into Haiku(! Edit: Claude.ai’s tool does not feed it into Haiku), which summarizes (with strong instructions for limiting verbatim quotes!) and only that output goes to Fable. (By contrast ChatGPT/Codex’s default tool gives the full text, but also has strong instructions for limiting verbatim quotes. For Codex this is only in the tool instruction.)
ClaudeCode/Codex can easily work around this by using e.g. cURL (especially if you tell them about lesswrong.com/api). Edit: Claude.ai can too, if you enable Network egress in the settings. Both can of course create you a re-usable skill. And with some prompting you can get around the quoting limitations.
Right, I’ve had cc download my whole LW history, and I had to make a system to actually download the actual entire whole paper. I think one can easily do it by asking cc, but one has to specifically ask.
