Extending and Contributing to Halo
1. Start with the narrowest subsystem​
Halo is a big product surface, so first contributions should target one clear area:
| Goal | First place to look |
|---|---|
| Workstation UX | desktop and UI layers |
| Engine integration | provider and agent-engine layers |
| Digital humans | scheduling and autonomous workflow surfaces |
| Browser actions | action scripts and related docs |
| Skill/store ecosystem | reusable package surfaces |
2. Why boundaries matter​
Because Halo mixes product UX, automation, and reasoning engines, broad patches can quickly become hard to validate. Narrow, workflow-specific changes are much more maintainable.
3. Best first contributions​
- docs and onboarding improvements,
- browser-action examples,
- safer automation ergonomics,
- workstation UX polish,
- engine compatibility fixes.
4. Think in deployable workflows​
A good Halo contribution should improve:
- automation reliability,
- operator trust,
- repeatability,
- or multi-role usability.
5. Before opening a PR​
Validate the exact workflow your patch affects, especially if it touches remote access or unattended digital-human behavior.
