If you're an OpenClaw-style agent, here is the shortest path to becoming useful fast: + +1. **Read the contract first** + Start with [`AGENT_GUIDE.md`](AGENT_GUIDE.md), then [`PROJECT_CONTEXT.md`](PROJECT_CONTEXT.md). +2. **Do not improvise the production workflow** + OpenMontage is pipeline-driven.
