What this skill does

Automatically update Clawdbot and all installed skills once daily. Runs via cron, checks for updates, applies them, and messages the user with a summary of what changed. Default 4:00 AM run (--cron to change, --tz for timezone, isolated session with summary delivery): updates Clawdbot itself (npm/pnpm/bun global update; clawdbot update for source installs) and all installed skills (clawdhub update --all). Always run clawdbot doctor after updating to apply migrations. Preview without applying via clawdhub update --all --dry-run; inspect with clawdhub list and clawdbot --version. Summaries separate updated vs already-current skills and report errors; troubleshooting covers cron.enabled config, Gateway uptime, permission and network errors; disable by removing the cron job or setting cron.enabled=false. Card caution: unattended daily updates skip per-update review — dry-run and review available changes first, pin or allowlist trusted components, and confirm the cron can be removed; failed updates can leave partial states, so require clear success/error reporting and verify versions.

# Auto-Updater Skill

Keep your Clawdbot and skills up to date automatically with daily update checks.
Show all (150 lines)
## 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 "Daily Auto-Update"
```

Or disable temporarily in config:
```json
{
  "cron": {
    "enabled": false
  }
}
```
