--- name: openclaw-auto-updater description: "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." metadata: {"version":"1.0.0","clawdbot":{"emoji":"🔄","os":["darwin","linux"]}} --- # Auto-Updater Skill Keep your Clawdbot and skills up to date automatically with daily update checks. ## What It Does This skill sets up a daily cron job that: 1. Updates Clawdbot itself (via `clawdbot doctor` or package manager) 2. Updates all installed skills (via `clawdhub update --all`) 3. Messages you with a summary of what was updated ## Setup ### Quick Start Ask Clawdbot to set up the auto-updater: ``` Set up daily auto-updates for yourself and all your skills. ``` Or manually add the cron job: ```bash clawdbot cron add \ --name "Daily Auto-Update" \ --cron "0 4 * * *" \ --tz "America/Los_Angeles" \ --session isolated \ --wake now \ --deliver \ --message "Run daily auto-updates: check for Clawdbot updates and update all skills. Report what was updated." ``` ### Configuration Options | Option | Default | Description | |--------|---------|-------------| | Time | 4:00 AM | When to run updates (use `--cron` to change) | | Timezone | System default | Set with `--tz` | | Delivery | Main session | Where to send the update summary | ## How Updates Work ### Clawdbot Updates For **npm/pnpm/bun installs**: ```bash npm update -g clawdbot@latest # or: pnpm update -g clawdbot@latest # or: bun update -g clawdbot@latest ``` For **source installs** (git checkout): ```bash clawdbot update ``` Always run `clawdbot doctor` after updating to apply migrations. ### Skill Updates ```bash clawdhub update --all ``` This checks all installed skills against the registry and updates any with new versions available. ## Update Summary Format After updates complete, you'll receive a message like: ``` 🔄 Daily Auto-Update Complete **Clawdbot**: Updated to v2026.1.10 (was v2026.1.9) **Skills Updated (3)**: - prd: 2.0.3 → 2.0.4 - browser: 1.2.0 → 1.2.1 - nano-banana-pro: 3.1.0 → 3.1.2 **Skills Already Current (5)**: gemini, sag, things-mac, himalaya, peekaboo No issues encountered. ``` ## Manual Commands Check for updates without applying: ```bash clawdhub update --all --dry-run ``` View current skill versions: ```bash clawdhub list ``` Check Clawdbot version: ```bash clawdbot --version ``` ## Troubleshooting ### Updates Not Running 1. Verify cron is enabled: check `cron.enabled` in config 2. Confirm Gateway is running continuously 3. Check cron job exists: `clawdbot cron list` ### Update Failures If an update fails, the summary will include the error. Common fixes: - **Permission errors**: Ensure the Gateway user can write to skill directories - **Network errors**: Check internet connectivity - **Package conflicts**: Run `clawdbot doctor` to diagnose ### Disabling Auto-Updates Remove the cron job: ```bash clawdbot cron remove "Daily Auto-Update" ``` Or disable temporarily in config: ```json { "cron": { "enabled": false } } ``` ## Resources - [Clawdbot Updating Guide](https://docs.clawd.bot/install/updating) - [ClawdHub CLI](https://docs.clawd.bot/tools/clawdhub) - [Cron Jobs](https://docs.clawd.bot/cron)
