Development setup

bash

How to add a channel

1

Create the channel adapter: Create internal/channels/yourplatform.go implementing the Channel interface (Start, Stop, Send methods).
2

Register it: Add it to internal/channels/manager.go in the channel map.
3

Add config fields: Add typed config fields in internal/config/config.go.
4

Write docs: Add documentation in src/pages/docs/yourplatform.astro.
5

Open a PR: Include a short demo video or screenshot showing the channel working end-to-end.

ℹ️

Join the #contributing channel on Discord before starting a large PR — it's good to discuss the approach first and avoid duplicate work.

Commit conventions

GoClaw uses conventional commits. Every commit message should follow the format type(scope): message.
