What is Velclaw?

Velclaw is an AI-native software workspace focused on the full software lifecycle: agents, code, projects, builds, runtime, storage, services, review, and deployment.

The goal is to give coding agents and developers one coherent environment instead of forcing every workflow through disconnected tools.

Build software. Give agents context. Keep the workflow together.

Credits and attribution

Velclaw references open-source software and community tooling. Each external project remains the property of its respective authors and maintainers; applicable licenses and attribution requirements should be preserved.

Documentation

• Velclaw repository
• Issues
• Pull requests
• Documentation URL: add the official Velclaw docs site when it is published.

Contributing

1. Create a branch.
2. Make the smallest coherent change.
3. Run typecheck/build where applicable.
4. Open a pull request.
5. Address review feedback.
6. Merge after required checks pass.

Security

Do not commit credentials, API keys, OAuth secrets, database URLs or private deployment tokens.

Roadmap

The roadmap should reflect shipped work rather than fictional dates or commitments.

• Core workspace
• GitHub integration foundation
• Build/runtime workflow foundation
• Expand agent workflows
• Expand deployment automation
• Dedicated documentation site
• Production-grade observability
• Broader ecosystem integrations

License

The current project configuration identifies Velclaw as private software. Do not claim an open-source license until a LICENSE file and public licensing decision are present.

Visual identity

The repository includes the official Velclaw mark and a lightweight product-introduction GIF so the project identity remains visible throughout the README rather than only in the hero.
