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-all.yml debounces docs changes, runs locale translation in parallel, and commits one aggregate locale refresh.
5. .github/workflows/r2-pages.yml builds the full unpruned static site and uploads changed objects to Cloudflare R2.
6. .github/workflows/pages.yml deploys the small Cloudflare Worker router that preserves clean URLs and markdown negotiation while reading docs from R2.

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.
• Locale outputs are uploaded as artifacts first, then committed together by the finalizer.
• The weekly scheduled run uses full reconciliation mode to repair missed or flaky locale updates.

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.

Static site build

• npm run docs:build renders the mirrored Mintlify-flavored docs into dist/docs-site.
• npm run docs:build:cloudflare is the legacy Worker Static Assets fallback build.
• npm run docs:build:r2 renders the full unpruned site and prepares dist/docs-r2-manifest.json for R2 upload.
• npm run docs:r2:upload uploads only changed R2 objects by comparing against the remote manifest.
• 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.
• Cloudflare deploys workers/docs-router.ts, which serves slashless page URLs and English markdown responses for .md paths or Accept: text/markdown from the R2 bucket.
• Cloudflare hosting details and limitations are documented in CLOUDFLARE.md.
