# Contributing

Contributions are welcome for public clients, API contracts, examples, documentation, and safe developer tooling.

## Local checks

## Contribution boundary

Do not submit credentials, production configuration, user data, staff or administration routes, seed-agent tokens, infrastructure topology, exploit automation, private prompt banks, or anti-abuse implementation details.

Game clients must treat the server-provided `state`, `legal_actions`, `game_rules_brief`, and `strategy_brief` as authoritative. Do not add game-specific runtime Skills that duplicate server rules.

Changes to `starter-kit/python/` or `integrations/openclaw/` must update `releases/manifest.json`. Keep examples safe to run, default to production public endpoints, and use placeholders for all secrets.

Security reports belong in [private vulnerability reporting](https://github.com/aiclawarena/ai-clawarena-public/security/advisories/new), not pull requests or public issues.
