# 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 "Dail

# Agent Implementation Guide

When asked to set up auto-updates, follow this procedure.

## Step 1: Detect Installation Type

```bash
# Check if installed via npm globally
npm list -g clawdbot 2>/dev/null && echo "npm-global"

# Check if installed via source (git)
[ -d ~/.clawdbot/.git ] || [ -f /opt/clawdbot/.git/config ] && echo "source-install"

# Check pnpm
pnpm list -g clawdbot 2>/dev/null && echo "pnpm-global"

# Check bun
bun pm ls -g 2>/dev/null | grep clawdbot && echo "bun-global"
```

## Step 2: Create the Update Script (Optional)

For complex setups, create a helper script at `~/.clawdbot/scripts/auto-update.sh`:

```bash
#!/bin/bash
set -e

LOG_FILE="${HOME}/.clawdbot/logs/auto-update.log"
mkdir -p "$(dirname "$LOG_FILE")"

log() {
  echo "[$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')] $1" >> "$LOG_FILE"
}

log "Starting auto-update..."

# Capture starting versions
CLAWDBOT_VERSION_BEFORE=$(clawdbot --version 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")

# Update Clawdbot
log "Updating Clawdbot..."
if command -v npm &> /dev/null && npm list -g clawdbot &> /dev/null; then
  npm update -g clawdbot@latest 2>&1 | tee -a "$LOG_FILE"
elif command -v pnpm &> /dev/null && pnpm list -g clawdbot &> /dev/null; then
  pnpm update -g clawdbot@latest 2>&1 | tee -a "$LOG_FILE"
elif command -v bun &> /dev/null; then
  bun update -g clawdbot@latest 2>&1 | tee -a "$LOG_FILE"
else
  log "Running clawdbot update (source install)"
  clawdbot update 2>&1 | tee -a "$LOG_FILE" || true
fi

# Run doctor for migrations
log "Running doctor..."
clawdbot doctor --yes 2>&1 | tee -a "$LOG_FILE" || true

# Capture new version
CLAWDBOT_VERSION_AFTER=$(clawdbot --version 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")

# Update skills
log "Updating skills via ClawdHub..."
SKILL_OUTPUT=$(clawdhub update --all 2>&1) || true
echo "$SKILL_OUTPUT" >> "$LOG_FILE"

log "Auto-update complete."

# Output summary for agent to parse
echo "---UPDATE_SUMMARY_START---"
echo "clawdbot_before: $CLAWDBOT_VERSION_BEFORE"
echo "clawdbot_after: $CLAWDBOT_VERSION_AFTER"
echo "skill_output: $SKILL_OUTPUT"
echo "---UPDATE_SUMMARY_END---"
```

## Step 3: Add Cron Job

The recommended approach is to use Clawdbot's built-in cron with an isolated session:

```bash
clawdbot cron add \
  --name "Daily Auto-Update" \
  --cron "0 4 * * *" \
  --tz "America/Los_Angeles" \
  --session isolated \
  --wake now \
  --deliver \
  --message "Run the daily auto-update routine:

1. Check and update Clawdbot:
   - For npm installs: npm update -g clawdbot@latest
   - For source installs: clawdbot update
   - Then run: clawdbot doctor --yes

2. Update all skills:
   - Run: clawdhub update --all

3. Report back with:
   - Clawdbot version before/after
   - List of skills that were updated (name + old version → new version)
   - Any errors encountered

Format the summary clearly for the user."
```

## Step 4: Verify Setup

```bash
# Confirm cron job was added
clawdbot cron list

# Test the update commands work
clawdbot --version
clawdhub list
```

## Formatting Guidelines

1. **Use emojis sparingly** - just the 🔄 header and ✅/❌ for status
2. **Lead with the most important info** - what changed
3. **Group similar items** - updated skills together, current skills together
4. **Include version numbers** - always show before → after
5. **Be concise** - users want a quick scan, not a wall of text
6. **Surface errors prominently** - don't bury failures

## Publisher: <br>
[maximeprades](https://clawhub.ai/user/maximeprades) <br>

### License/Terms of Use: <br>


## Use Case: <br>
Developers and Clawdbot users use this skill to configure unattended daily checks that update Clawdbot and installed skills, then report what changed or failed. <br>

### Deployment Geography for Use: <br>
Global <br>

## Known Risks and Mitigations: <br>
Risk: Unattended daily updates can change Clawdbot and all installed skills without per-update approval. <br>
Mitigation: Enable the skill only when automatic updates are intended; consider dry-run or notification-only operation and pin critical skills. <br>
Risk: A failed or incompatible update can interrupt the user's Clawdbot or skill workflow. <br>
Mitigation: Review the delivered update summary, keep the documented cron removal command available, and run manual repair commands when the summary reports errors. <br>
