Contributing to the Engine

OpenClaw welcomes code, art, documentation, and translation contributions. The simplest way to start is to pick a good-first-issue label on GitHub.

Development workflow

  1. Fork the repository and create a feature branch.
  2. Follow the project's coding style (clang-format config is in the repo root).
  3. Add unit tests where applicable — the tests/ directory mirrors the source layout.
  4. Open a pull request describing the change, motivation, and any screenshots or test results.

Documentation contributions

This very website is open source! Pull requests to improve tutorials, fix typos, or add new guides are welcome.

Code of Conduct

OpenClaw follows a standard Contributor Covenant. Be kind, be patient, and remember that everyone started as a beginner.
