​
Where this comes from

These pages were written against the privacycommand source at main — the detectors under Sources/privacycommandCore/Analysis/, the helper’s XPC interface, the auditctl command surface, and the project’s in-repo ARCHITECTURE.md, HELPER.md, BUILDING.md and GUEST_AGENT.md. Where a page describes behaviour, it was checked in the code rather than inferred from the README.

​
Where it can be wrong

privacycommand is pre-1.0 and moving. Detectors get added, the report format shifts, and UI labels change. These docs will drift between releases. Two specific cautions:
  • Screenshots and exact labels age fastest. Trust the described behaviour over the wording of any button.
  • The JSON export shape is not stable. Don’t build anything long-lived on it without pinning a version.
If a page contradicts the app, the app is right and the page is a bug.

​
Fixing something

Small corrections: use Suggest edits at the bottom of any page. Anything larger, or if you’re unsure: open an issue at github.com/privacykey/privacycommand/issues and say which page and what’s wrong. If a page makes a claim about the security posture that isn’t true — the outbound calls, what the helper can do, what the kill switch touches — that’s not a docs typo, it’s a security issue. Please follow Security and don’t open a public issue.

Reading these docs with an AI assistant

This site follows the llms.txt convention, so you can hand it to whichever assistant you use and ask it to walk you through an install or a report:
  • /llms.txt is an index of every page with a one-line summary.
  • /llms-full.txt is the whole site in one Markdown file — the thing to paste in when you want the assistant to have everything.
  • Appending .md to any page’s URL returns that page as plain Markdown.
Both files are generated from these pages, so they carry exactly the same caveats as the pages themselves.

​
Conventions

  • privacycommand is one word, all lowercase, including at the start of a sentence. So is privacykey.
  • Commands are shown as you’d type them.
  • Where a feature is optional, the page says so and says what you lose without it. Nothing here should imply you need the helper, Ghidra, or a VM to get value from the tool.
