Build the Open Grid with Us

The Grid is an open, interoperable fabric for AI — built in the open, by and for developers. If you believe AI should be modular, auditable, and connectable across tools, frameworks, and venues, you're in the right place.

Why contribute​

  • Help define open standards that make AI systems composable and portable.
  • Ship real infrastructure: venues, adapters, operations, and governance tooling.
  • Work in a pragmatic codebase with a strong focus on DX, observability, and security.
  • Join an active community of builders (researchers, operators, and application devs).

Ways you can contribute​

  • Fix a bug or improve docs (great for first contributions)
  • Add or enhance an adapter (e.g. LangChain, HTTP, MCP, or an adapter of your own)
  • Implement new grid operations or examples
  • Improve testing, CI, and developer tooling
  • Propose protocol and governance improvements

Get started in minutes​

  1. Explore the docs

  2. Pick an issue

  3. Run the docs locally (optional, for docs changes)

    pnpm install
    pnpm run start

    The docs build fails on broken links and anchors (enforced in CI), so run pnpm build before opening a PR.

  4. Submit your PR

    • Fork the repo, create a branch, open a PR against develop.
    • Provide a concise description, screenshots where helpful, and test notes.

Development pointers​

  • Adapters live under the user guide: see Adapters for integration patterns.
  • Keep code clear and self-explanatory; prefer readability over cleverness.
  • Add meaningful tests and docs alongside code changes.
  • Follow existing formatting and conventions; avoid unrelated refactors.
  • Use British English in documentation prose.

Community & support​

  • Join Discord to ask questions, share work, and find collaborators.
  • Follow updates on X.
  • Discussions and proposals: GitHub Discussions, or issues and PRs on the relevant repo.

Not sure where to start?​

Tell us what you want to build in Discord, and we'll help you map it to the Grid — whether that's a new venue, a custom adapter, or a production workflow. Your feedback directly shapes the roadmap.
