+# AGENTS.md
+
+Guidance for future agents working in this repository.
+
+## Repository Context
+
+This is the HackTricks Cloud mdBook repository. The related main book lives at:
+
+`/Users/carlospolop/git/hacktricks`
+
+Changes to shared theme/search behavior often need to be applied in both repositories.
+
+## Search Index Loading Contract
+
+The custom search UI lives in:
+
+`theme/ht_searcher.js`
+
+There may also be a generated copy at:
+
+`book/theme/ht_searcher.js`
+
+If production is deploying the already-built `book/` directory, update both copies or rebuild the
+book before deployment.
+
+The search index loading order is important and cost-sensitive:
+
+1. Load every language-specific and fallback search index from the GitHub repository:
+   `HackTricks-wiki/hacktricks-searchindex`
+2. Only if all GitHub-hosted candidates fail, fall back to the same-origin mdBook output.
+
+Do not place the local `/searchindex.js` fallback before any GitHub-hosted fallback such as
+`searchindex-cloud-en.js.gz`. Serving `searchindex.js` from `cloud.hacktricks.wiki` in production is expensive.
+
+For this repo, the expected local fallback is:
+
+`/searchindex.js`
+
+The main-book fallback for this repo is:
+
+`/searchindex-book.js`
+
+That file is only a fallback. The primary source must remain the remote
+`searchindex-<lang>.js.gz` and `searchindex-cloud-<lang>.js.gz` files in
+`HackTricks-wiki/hacktricks-searchindex`.
+
+## Search Index Publishing
+
+The workflows that publish encrypted compressed search indexes to
+`HackTricks-wiki/hacktricks-searchindex` are:
+
+- `.github/workflows/build_master.yml`
+- `.github/workflows/translate_all.yml`
+
+The generated source file is `book/searchindex.js`. The published remote artifact names are:
+
+- `searchindex-cloud-en.js.gz`
+- `searchindex-cloud-<lang>.js.gz`
+
+The browser loader expects the remote `.js.gz` files to be XOR-encrypted gzip payloads using the
+key defined in `theme/ht_searcher.js`.
+
+## Build And Validation
+
+Common local checks:
+
+- `node --check theme/ht_searcher.js`
+- `mdbook build`
+
+If `mdbook build` fails, check:
+
+- `hacktricks-preprocessor-error.log`
+- `hacktricks-preprocessor.log`
+
+## Editing Notes
+
+- Prefer `rg` for searching.
+- Keep generated `book/` output out of commits unless explicitly requested. Search loader fixes are
+  an exception when the already-built pages must be corrected immediately.
+- If changing shared theme behavior, compare and update the matching file in
+  `/Users/carlospolop/git/hacktricks`.
+- Do not revert unrelated local changes.
