OpenClaw Docs Hub

This directory contains the first-party documentation for the OpenClaw workspace runtime.

For current runtime truth, treat code and config as canonical first, then use the navigation files in this directory.

Documentation growth rule:

• update the existing canonical file for a topic before creating a new Markdown file
• avoid adding new root-level docs when the topic belongs under docs/ or a subproject README
• every material code or config change must be reflected in the relevant existing .md file in the same change set, with code/config path references where they help prevent drift

Start Here

• INDEX.md: authoritative map of active docs
• NAVIGATION.md: by-role and by-task routes
• SUMMARY.md: current documentation status summary
• architecture/DOCUMENTATION_SITE_INFORMATION_ARCHITECTURE.md: published docs-site structure and publishing model
• operations/DOCUMENT_AUDIT.md: what is canonical, historical, stale, or still pending

Published docs-site workflow:

npm run docs:site:dev
npm run docs:site:build
