Indexing your own docs

How an agent indexes the team's own documentation as a private library that only that team can query.

Updated View as MarkdownOpen in ChatGPTOpen in Claude

Private docs are for internal libraries and runbooks. An agent indexes Markdown or text files under a library name and version:

overlane docs add our-sdk --version 3.2.0 --file docs/intro.md --file docs/api.md
overlane docs query our-sdk "retry policy" --version 3.2.0

Isolation

  • Private chunks (and vectors, when the optional embedding re-rank is on) live in the team’s own namespace. They are never written to the shared public index and never returned to another team.
  • Every record is marked visibility: "private" with the team’s tenant ID. Public records are marked visibility: "public" with no tenant, so the two cannot be confused.
  • When a team has private docs under the same name as a public library, that team’s queries use its private docs; every other team still gets the public answer.

Credentials

Pages are scanned before anything is stored. A page that contains what looks like a credential is refused and nothing from the call is indexed. Remove the credential and run the command again.

Indexing private docs counts as one library docs call.
