# App Control for Business — Complete Reference Series

Corporate-ready documentation for **Microsoft App Control for Business (ACfB)**, formerly known as Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC). Compiled by **Anubhav Gain** from source material by Patrick Seltmann at [ctrlshiftenter.cloud](https://ctrlshiftenter.cloud).

## Live Viewer

Open `index.html` via a local server:

```bash
python3 -m http.server 8080
# then visit http://localhost:8080
```

Features: dark/light theme · part search · reading progress · syntax-highlighted code · copy buttons · keyboard navigation (`←` / `→`).

## AI / Agent Entry Point

For coding agents and other automated consumers, start with [the AI index](ai/) and [its machine-readable manifest](ai/resources.json). That page points to the bundle root, [llms.txt](llms.txt), [docs/index.md](docs/index.md), and [sitemap.xml](sitemap.xml).

GitHub Pages cannot run a live MCP server on its own, so the repo uses a static agent-discovery page instead. If you want a true MCP endpoint later, host it separately and have it point at the same static URLs.

The generated agent assets live under [ai/search-index.json](ai/search-index.json), [ai/llms-full.txt](ai/llms-full.txt), [ai/frontmatter/index.json](ai/frontmatter/index.json), [ai/updates.json](ai/updates.json), and [ai/atom.xml](ai/atom.xml). Regenerate them from source Markdown with `ruby scripts/generate_agent_assets.rb`.

There is also a browser-side search interface at [ai/search.html](ai/search.html) and a standalone MCP server scaffold under [mcp-server/README.md](mcp-server/README.md) for real MCP tool access to the corpus.
