What is Auto-Updater?
The Auto-Updater is an essential maintenance tool designed to ensure your AI agent environment remains up-to-date without manual intervention. By integrating directly with the cron system, this skill automates the lifecycle of Openclaw Skills, fetching the latest versions of both the core Clawdbot system and individual skill packages to provide the newest features, bug fixes, and security patches.
Operating in the background, the skill leverages the openclaw-agent to perform system-level updates and health checks. It provides users with peace of mind by delivering a detailed summary of all changes, ensuring you are always aware of the status of your Openclaw Skills environment.
Auto-Updater Use Cases
- Automating daily maintenance tasks for AI agents to reduce manual overhead.
- Ensuring all installed Openclaw Skills are running the latest registry versions.
- Maintaining system health through automated doctor checks and database migrations.
- Receiving automated morning reports on system updates and skill version changes.
How Auto-Updater Works
- The skill initializes a scheduled cron job based on the user's preferred time and timezone.
- At the scheduled interval, the openclaw-agent triggers an update check for the core Clawdbot application.
- The skill executes a global update command to synchronize all installed Openclaw Skills with the latest registry versions.
- System migrations are automatically applied to maintain compatibility between the core agent and its skills.
- A comprehensive summary message is generated and delivered to the user's preferred session, detailing successful updates and current versions.

Before configuration, ensure the openclaw-agent is installed and running on your host machine.
