+# Heads Wiki - Jekyll Documentation Site
+
+**Always follow these instructions first and only fall back to additional search and context gathering if the information here is incomplete or found to be in error.**
+
+The Heads Wiki is a Jekyll-based documentation site for the Heads firmware project. It uses the just-the-docs theme with a dark color scheme and is hosted on GitHub Pages.
+
+## Working Effectively
+
+### Bootstrap and Build the Site
+- Install Ruby and dependencies:
+  ```bash
+  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y ruby-full build-essential zlib1g-dev
+  ```
+- Install Jekyll and required gems:
+  ```bash
+  sudo gem install bundler jekyll just-the-docs
+  ```
+- Build the site:
+  ```bash
+  jekyll build --config local_config.yml
+  ```
+  - Build takes approximately 1.4 seconds. NEVER CANCEL builds.
+  - Set timeout to 60+ seconds for build commands as a safety margin.
+
+### Run the Site Locally
+- Serve for local development:
+  ```bash
+  jekyll serve --config local_config.yml --host 0.0.0.0 --port 4000
+  ```
+- Access at: `http://localhost:4000`
+- The site will auto-regenerate when files change (unless using `--detach`)
+- To stop the server: Press Ctrl+C or run `pkill -f jekyll`
+
+### Clean Build
+- Remove build artifacts:
+  ```bash
+  rm -rf _site .jekyll-cache
+  ```
+- Always clean before fresh builds to ensure reproducibility
+
+## Validation
+
+### Manual Testing Requirements
+- ALWAYS verify the site builds and serves successfully after making changes
+- Test that all navigation links work correctly
+- Verify markdown rendering appears correct with the just-the-docs theme
+- Check that any new pages appear in the site navigation structure
+- Test both light and dark themes are working (site uses dark by default)
+
+### Validation Scenarios
+After making documentation changes, always:
+1. Build the site and confirm no Jekyll errors: `jekyll build --config local_config.yml`
+2. Serve the site locally: `jekyll serve --config local_config.yml --host 0.0.0.0 --port 4000`
+3. Navigate to modified pages and verify they render correctly
+4. Check the site navigation menu includes new pages appropriately
+5. Verify all internal links work (no broken markdown links)
+
+## Repository Structure
+
+### Key Directories and Files
+```
+.
+├── .github/           # GitHub configuration (funding, etc.)
+├── About/             # About pages
+├── Community.md       # Community documentation
+├── Development/       # Development guides (7 files)

+├── _config.yml        # GitHub Pages Jekyll config
+├── local_config.yml   # Local development Jekyll config
+└── README.md          # Repository README
+```
+
+### Configuration Files
+- **_config.yml**: GitHub Pages configuration using `remote_theme: just-the-docs/just-the-docs`
+- **local_config.yml**: Local development configuration using `theme: "just-the-docs"`
+- Both configs use dark color scheme and enable heading anchors
+
+### Content Organization
+- 34 total Markdown files across the repository
+- Documentation is organized into logical sections with Jekyll front matter
+- Uses Jekyll's navigation system with `nav_order`, `parent`, and `grand_parent` properties
+- Pages include metadata like `permalink`, `title`, and `has_children`
+
+## Common Tasks
+
+### Adding New Documentation
+1. Create new `.md` file in appropriate directory
+2. Add Jekyll front matter:
+   ```yaml
+   ---
+   layout: default
+   title: Your Page Title
+   nav_order: X
+   parent: Parent Section (if applicable)
+   permalink: /your-url/
+   ---
+   ```
+3. Write content using standard Markdown
+4. Build and test locally before committing
+
+### Modifying Existing Documentation
+1. Edit the Markdown file directly
+2. Maintain existing Jekyll front matter structure
+3. Follow the existing style and formatting conventions
+4. Test changes locally with Jekyll serve
+
+### Working with Images
+- Place images in the `images/` directory
+- Reference using: `![Alt text]({{ site.baseurl }}/images/filename.png)`
+- Or use full URLs for external images
+
+## Timing Expectations
+- **Jekyll build**: ~1.4 seconds (very fast)
+- **Jekyll serve startup**: ~1.5 seconds  
+- **Dependency installation**: 2-5 minutes for Ruby gems
+- **NEVER CANCEL**: Always wait for operations to complete, even though they're fast
+
+## Important Notes
+
+### No CI/Testing Infrastructure
+- This repository has NO automated testing or CI workflows
+- No linting tools are configured
+- No build verification beyond manual testing
+- Validation is entirely manual - you must test locally
+
+### Deployment
+- Site is automatically deployed to GitHub Pages when changes are pushed to master
+- Uses the `_config.yml` configuration for production
+- Available at: https://osresearch.net (as configured in CNAME)
+
+### Jekyll Deprecation Warnings
+- The just-the-docs theme generates many Sass deprecation warnings
+- These warnings are cosmetic and do not affect functionality
+- Warnings are expected and normal - do not attempt to fix them
+
+### Theme Customization
+- Site uses dark color scheme by default
+- Custom styling should be minimal to maintain consistency
+- Follow just-the-docs theme conventions for navigation and layout
+
+### Development Best Practices
+- Always use `local_config.yml` for local development
+- Test all changes locally before pushing
+- Maintain the existing Jekyll front matter structure
+- Keep navigation hierarchy logical and organized
+- Verify internal links are correct after moving/renaming files
