Setup & Installation
openclaw skills install @maximeprades/auto-updater
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install auto-updater
What This Skill Does
Schedules a daily cron job that updates Clawdbot and all installed skills, then sends a summary of what changed. Works with npm, pnpm, bun, and source installs. No manual intervention needed once configured.
Combines Clawdbot and skill updates into a single scheduled job with a delivered summary, replacing the need to remember and run multiple update commands manually.
When to use it
- Keeping all skills on the latest version without manual checks
- Getting a morning summary of what updated overnight
- Avoiding broken workflows from stale skill versions
- Running updates at a quiet time like 4 AM to avoid interruptions
- Quickly seeing which skills have pending updates via dry-run
