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
Install or use this only if you are comfortable allowing scheduled updates to modify OpenClaw and installed skills automatically. Prefer starting with the dry-run or core-only examples, review the update scope and cadence, monitor the local logs, and know how to edit or remove the cron job before enabling unattended 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 capability matches the stated purpose of hands-off OpenClaw and skill maintenance, including scheduled core and skill updates, status summaries, and dry-run/core-only alternatives.
Instruction Scope
The main examples schedule live recurring updates using commands such as openclaw update --yes and clawdhub update --all, and the deeper guide adds openclaw doctor --yes, with no per-run approval, pinning, or rollback requirement.
Install Mechanism
The package contains markdown instructions rather than executable install code, but it includes an optional helper script template that the agent may create under the user's OpenClaw directory.
Credentials
Updating the OpenClaw runtime, global package installation, and all installed skills is proportionate to an auto-updater, but it is high-impact and broad for sensitive or production environments.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is designed to create recurring OpenClaw cron jobs that continue running unattended until edited or removed; local logs may also retain detailed update output.
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
