Thanks for helping improve the agent harness.
This repository is docs-oriented. Changes should increase clarity, correctness, and operator usability without adding speculative complexity.
- Open an issue (or include clear problem framing in your PR) describing:
- what is wrong or missing
- which source-of-truth file(s) are affected
- how maintainers should validate the change
- Keep each PR focused on one concern (for example: one checklist update, one README expansion, one prompt correction).
- Link the exact files you used as source of truth in the PR description.
Before opening a PR:
- Confirm links and paths resolve to files that exist in this repository.
- Confirm terminology is consistent with:
principles.mdrepository-knowledge.mdsources/openai-harness-engineering.md
- Verify no contradictory guidance was introduced across README/checklists/prompts.
- Keep edits minimal and explicit; avoid unrelated rewrites.
Use these checklists directly:
checklists/change-preflight.mdchecklists/pr-review.mdchecklists/doc-gardening.md
For OpenClaw-specific changes, also use:
openclaw/checklists/config-change-preflight.mdopenclaw/checklists/workspace-health.md
- Scope is focused and intentional
- Source-of-truth files are referenced in PR description
- Paths/links were verified locally
- Relevant checklist(s) above were applied
- No unrelated behavior changes were introduced
