Research direction
Review the existing language definitions in lib/linguist/languages.yml to understand the required fields. Locate a sample Karel repository and a TextMate grammar for Karel, or create a basic grammar. If the grammar URL is missing, search for an existing grammar or derive one from the example repository. Then submit a pull request adding the language definition.
