openclaw-docs

Mirror repo for the published OpenClaw docs site.

Source of truth lives in openclaw/openclaw, under docs/.

How it works

1. English docs are authored in openclaw/openclaw.
2. openclaw/openclaw/.github/workflows/docs-sync-publish.yml mirrors the docs tree into this repo.
3. This repo stores the published docs tree plus generated locale output.
4. openclaw/docs/.github/workflows/translate-*.yml runs on push, schedule, release dispatch, and manual dispatch to refresh locale docs.
5. .github/workflows/pages.yml builds dist/docs-site from the mirrored docs and deploys it to GitHub Pages.

Translation behavior

• Locale pages under docs/<locale>/** are generated output.
• Each translated page stores x-i18n.source_hash.
• The translate workflow computes a pending file list before calling the model.
• If no English source hashes changed, the workflow skips the expensive translation step entirely.
• If files changed, only the pending files are translated.
• The workflow retries transient model-format failures.

Editing rules

• Do not treat this repo as the primary place for English doc edits.
• Make English doc changes in openclaw/openclaw, then let sync copy them here.
• Locale pages under docs/<locale>/** are generated output.
• .openclaw-sync/source.json records which openclaw/openclaw commit this mirror was synced from.

GitHub Pages build

• npm run docs:build renders the mirrored Mintlify-flavored docs into dist/docs-site.
• npm run docs:smoke checks representative English and locale pages plus the Pagefind search bundle.
• npm run docs:check runs both steps.
• The generated site includes the language picker and static full-text search via Pagefind.

Secrets

• OPENCLAW_DOCS_SYNC_TOKEN lives in openclaw/openclaw and lets the source repo push into this repo.
• OPENCLAW_DOCS_I18N_OPENAI_API_KEY lives in this repo and powers locale translation refreshes.
