A few ways to get help, roughly in order of how fast each one gets you an answer.
- Part 27 — Gotchas & FAQ — symptom-indexed. Paste your error; most of them are here.
- Part 28 — Glossary — if a term in the guide is unfamiliar.
- SCORECARD.md — run your setup against the 50-item scorecard. Whatever's unchecked is usually the answer.
- Part 26 — Migration Guide — if you suspect a recent OpenClaw upgrade caused the issue.
Open an issue using the Correction template. Include:
- The specific Part + line (or a direct GitHub permalink).
- What the guide says.
- What you believe is correct, and a source (release notes, your own test output).
- The OpenClaw version you're on.
Open an issue using the Gap template. Describe the scenario you wish the guide covered.
Open an issue using the Version Bump template. Paste the relevant link to the release notes. We usually turn these around within 48 hours of a stable release.
See SECURITY.md. Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting — do not open a public issue.
This repo isn't the right place. Try these, in order:
- Official docs at clawdocs.org.
- OpenClaw Discord —
#self-hostingand#skills-securityare the most responsive channels. - openclaw/openclaw GitHub issues — if you've localized the problem to the core framework.
See CONTRIBUTING.md. The short version: corrections are always welcome, new parts land via PRs with at least one real-world example, and style follows the decision-tree + "Read this if / Skip if" pattern established across all existing parts.
