What is ClawHub Auto Update?
ClawHub Auto Update is an essential maintenance utility designed to keep your local skill repository synchronized with the latest official releases. By bridging the gap between local installations and the ClawHub registry, it ensures that your Openclaw Skills always leverage the newest features, bug fixes, and security patches without manual intervention.
This skill is particularly useful for developers who maintain a large library of tools and want to avoid the friction of manual version checking. It provides a robust framework for both on-demand updates and scheduled background maintenance, ensuring your automation stack remains reliable and feature-complete.
ClawHub Auto Update Use Cases
- Automating weekly maintenance for local AI agent environments to keep Openclaw Skills current.
- Ensuring multi-agent workflows use consistent skill versions across different machines.
- Monitoring the release of new features within the broader skill ecosystem.
- Batch updating multiple skills simultaneously to save developer time and reduce manual errors.
How ClawHub Auto Update Works
- The skill queries the ClawHub registry to compare local skill versions against the latest remote releases.
- It generates a summary of available updates, including version diffs (e.g., 1.0.0 to 1.1.0).
- Upon detection of updates, it executes the update command to pull down new code and assets.
- It logs the results of the update process to a centralized log file for auditability and troubleshooting.
ClawHub Auto Update Setup
First, ensure you are authenticated with the registry:
npx clawhub login
To perform an immediate check and update, run the provided script:
bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/clawhub-auto-update/scripts/check-update.sh
For continuous maintenance, add a cron job to automate the update process for your Openclaw Skills every Sunday at 3 AM:
0 3 * * 0 bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/clawhub-auto-update/scripts/check-update.sh >> ~/.openclaw/logs/skill-update.log 2>&1
