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:

code
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."
