Description
Schedule automatic OpenClaw and skill updates with reliable cron templates, timezone-safe scheduling, and clear summary outputs. Use for hands-off maintenance, scheduled upgrades, and concise update reports.
Usage Guidance
Use this only if you are comfortable allowing scheduled jobs to update OpenClaw and all installed skills automatically. Prefer starting with dry-run or core-only mode, review the cron schedule and update scope, and know how to edit or remove the cron job before enabling unattended live updates.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-auto-updater
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw Auto-Updater skill is designed for legitimate system maintenance, specifically to automate updates for the OpenClaw agent and its installed skills. The `SKILL.md` and `references/agent-guide.md` files contain instructions for the agent to set up cron jobs and execute standard update commands (`openclaw update`, `clawdhub update`, `npm update`, `pnpm update`, `bun update`). All commands and instructions are directly related to the stated purpose, log locally, and do not show any evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms outside of OpenClaw's cron, or prompt injection attempts to deviate the agent from its intended function.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The update commands, cron setup, summaries, dry-run option, and core-only option match the stated maintenance purpose.
Instruction Scope
The default examples schedule live recurring updates with `openclaw update --yes` and `clawdhub update --all`, which broadly modifies the agent environment without requiring review for each run.
Install Mechanism
The package is markdown instructions, not executable install code, but it includes an optional helper script template under `~/.openclaw/scripts/auto-update.sh`.
Credentials
Updating OpenClaw, global package installs, running `openclaw doctor --yes`, and updating all skills is coherent for an updater but high-impact and broad, especially for production or sensitive agent environments.
Persistence & Privilege
The intended setup creates persistent cron jobs that keep running unattended, and the optional script writes local update logs under the user's OpenClaw directory.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-auto-updater - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-auto-updater - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
