# Kmong

> Kmong is a Korean marketplace where users discover, compare, and purchase freelance and business services from experts.

This file helps AI agents understand the public kmong.com surface. Use these public entry points for discovery. Respect robots.txt and do not crawl or automate restricted paths.

## Public Discovery

These entry points are open to user-initiated AI agents (e.g. Claude-User, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot), which robots.txt blocks only on `/search`. Training crawlers such as ClaudeBot, GPTBot, and Google-Extended are restricted by robots.txt to `/blog` and `/article`, so do not crawl the other paths below with those user-agents.

- [Home](https://kmong.com/): Marketplace home.
- [Category browsing](https://kmong.com/category/1): Browse services by category. The primary crawl-safe way to discover services.
- [Price guide](https://kmong.com/prices): Browse price guide content.
- [Blog](https://kmong.com/blog): Public editorial content.
- [Enterprise](https://kmong.com/enterprise): B2B and enterprise services.

## Public URL Patterns

- Service detail: `https://kmong.com/gig/{serviceId}`
- Seller profile: `https://kmong.com/@{username}`; the `@` prefix is required.
- Seller portfolios: `https://kmong.com/@{username}/portfolios`
- Portfolio detail: `https://kmong.com/portfolio/{portfolioId}`
- Price guide detail: `https://kmong.com/prices/{priceGuideId}`
- Article detail: `https://kmong.com/article/{articleId}`

## Agent Notes

- Desktop login opens a modal from the header; there is no desktop `/login` page.
- robots.txt disallows `/search` for AI agents (Claude-User, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, and similar), and this also covers the `/search`-prefixed `/search-assistant`. For automated discovery use `/category/{categoryId}` instead. Open keyword search (`/search?type=gigs&keyword=...`, `/search?type=sellers&keyword=...`) or the AI search assistant (`/search-assistant`) only when a user explicitly asks, and never crawl them.
- Authenticated actions such as purchase, inquiry, inbox, order history, profile management, and seller management require user login and should not be automated without explicit user intent.
- Some sitemap URLs are for indexing and may not match browser-facing routes. Prefer the public URL patterns in this file.
