Description
Manage OpenClaw and installed skill updates with scheduled checks, safe upgrade workflows, rollback-minded guidance, and clear reporting. Use when setting up...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and focused on update workflows. Before using or scheduling it: (1) confirm you have clawhub/openclaw installed and that you want automatic updates; (2) prefer dry-run (clawhub update --all --dry-run) first; (3) avoid blindly running 'clawhub update --all' in production—consider updating specific skills or testing in staging; (4) if you enable a cron job, explicitly approve its schedule and command and ensure you have backups/rollback procedures; (5) verify any credential prompts come from your existing clawhub/OpenClaw tooling (use 'clawhub whoami' to check).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skill-update-helper
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle is a legitimate utility designed to manage OpenClaw environment updates and skill maintenance. It utilizes native platform CLI tools such as 'clawhub' and 'openclaw' to check versions, apply updates, and schedule recurring maintenance tasks. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection; the instructions in SKILL.md and the agent-guide.md are strictly aligned with the stated purpose of administrative maintenance.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the instructions: all commands and workflow reference OpenClaw tooling (clawhub, openclaw) and scheduling updates, which is appropriate for an update helper. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or config paths are required.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and agent-guide instruct only operations relevant to update checks and scheduling (openclaw status, clawhub list/update, use cron for scheduling). They do not direct reading unrelated files, exfiltrating data, or calling external endpoints outside OpenClaw tooling. The guidance to check auth (clawhub whoami) is reasonable.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — minimal footprint and nothing is written to disk by the skill itself.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The operational commands may require the user's existing clawhub/OpenClaw credentials, but the skill does not demand unrelated secrets.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill recommends creating scheduled cron tasks to run automatic update checks; while the skill itself is not forcibly persistent (always:false), scheduling introduces persistent, autonomous behavior. This is expected for an update helper but worth explicit user consent.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skill-update-helper - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skill-update-helper - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
