COMMUNITY WORKFLOW · PUBLISHED

Contribute a guide that others can follow

Write, submit and maintain an original community walkthrough.

Original author / contributors: Community editorial synthesis; linked comma.ai / openpilot referencesOriginal source ↗

Define a clear outcome

Choose one task and state the required vehicle, hardware and software context. Separate direct observations from assumptions and explain what successful completion looks like.

Write the steps

Open Guides → Submit a guide. Add a title, summary and section. Use numbered steps, explain prerequisites, and describe how to check the result. Include version details when behavior depends on a release.

Credit your sources

Link the maintained official documentation and identify contributors. Write your own explanation; do not copy private Discord messages or redistribute someone’s files without permission. Keep secrets and personal route data out of examples.

Submit for review

Save a draft while working or submit it when ready. Admins and approved authors can publish. Find your work in Your guide drafts.

Keep the conversation separate

Use forum discussions for questions and comparisons. When new information changes the instructions, update the guide so the next reader has a coherent walkthrough.
