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 only if you intentionally want unattended OpenClaw maintenance. Prefer the dry-run or core-only mode first, review updates before applying them, avoid `update --all` for untrusted skills, and make sure you know how to list, edit, and remove the scheduled cron job.
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
Credentials
Updating the OpenClaw installation and all skills is broader than a narrowly scoped maintenance check, and the documentation acknowledges updates may restart the gateway.
Install Mechanism
The artifact itself is Markdown with no embedded executable installer, but its setup commands direct the user or agent to register scheduled OpenClaw cron jobs and optionally create a local helper script.
Instruction Scope
The default and guide instructions use unattended update commands such as `openclaw update --yes`, `openclaw doctor --yes`, mutable `openclaw@latest`, and `clawdhub update --all` without pinning, allowlists, staged review, or approval gates.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill intentionally establishes recurring cross-session automation with `openclaw cron add`, `--wake now`, and isolated sessions, while the primary setup does not require fresh approval before each modifying update.
Purpose & Capability
The behavior matches the stated purpose of hands-off OpenClaw and skill maintenance, but the capability is high impact because it changes the core tool and installed skills.
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
