Description

This skill provides a complete, modular update workflow for Clawdbot with dynamic workspace detection:

Configuration files
Agent states and sessions
Credentials and auth tokens
All agent workspaces (auto-detected from config)
Cron jobs and sandboxes
Git repository state

Key Features

✅ Dynamic Workspace Detection - Reads workspace paths from config
✅ Multi-Agent Support - Handles multiple agents automatically
✅ Safe Rollback - Full restore capability
✅ Git Integration - Tracks versions and remotes
✅ Validation - Pre/post checks included
✅ Dry Run - Preview before backup

Files

config.json - Skill configuration (repo URLs, paths)
backup-clawdbot-dryrun.sh - Dry run preview (no changes)
backup-clawdbot-full.sh - Dynamic full backup script
restore-clawdbot.sh - Dynamic restore script
validate-setup.sh - Pre/post update validation
check-upstream.sh - Check for available updates
UPDATE_CHECKLIST.md - Step-by-step update checklist
QUICK_REFERENCE.md - Quick command reference
SKILL.md - This file
README.md - Quick start guide

Dynamic Features

Both backup and restore scripts now:

Read workspace paths from ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json
Support any number of agents
Handle missing workspaces gracefully
Generate safe filenames from agent IDs

When to Use

Trigger this skill when asked to:

"update clawdbot"
"upgrade to latest version"
"backup clawdbot before update"
"restore clawdbot from backup"
"rollback clawdbot update"

Usage

1. Preview Backup (Dry Run)

~/.skills/clawdbot-update/backup-clawdbot-dryrun.sh

Shows:

What files would be backed up
Estimated backup size
Workspace detection results
Disk space availability
Files that would be skipped

No files are created or modified!

2. Create Full Backup

~/.skills/clawdbot-update/backup-clawdbot-full.sh

Backs up:

~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json (config)
~/.clawdbot/sessions/ (session state)
~/.clawdbot/agents/ (multi-agent state)
~/.clawdbot/credentials/ (auth tokens)
~/.clawdbot/cron/ (scheduled jobs)
~/.clawdbot/sandboxes/ (sandbox state)
All agent workspaces (dynamically detected!)
Git commit and status

Output: ~/.clawdbot-backups/pre-update-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS/

3. Update Clawdbot

Follow the checklist:

cat ~/.skills/clawdbot-update/UPDATE_CHECKLIST.md

Key steps:

Create backup
Stop gateway
Pull latest code
Adjust config for breaking changes
Run doctor
Test functionality
Start gateway as daemon

4. Restore from Backup

~/.skills/clawdbot-update/restore-clawdbot.sh ~/.clawdbot-backups/pre-update-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS

Restores:

All configuration
All state files
All workspaces
Optionally: git version

Important Notes

Multi-Agent Setup

This skill is designed for multi-agent setups with:

Multiple agents with separate workspaces
Sandbox configurations
Provider routing (WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord/Slack/etc.)

Breaking Changes in v2026.1.8

CRITICAL:

DM Lockdown: DMs now default to pairing policy instead of open
Groups: telegram.groups and whatsapp.groups are now allowlists
Sandbox: Default scope changed to "agent" from implicit
Timestamps: Now UTC format in agent envelopes

Backup Validation

After backup, always verify:

BACKUP_DIR=~/.clawdbot-backups/pre-update-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS
cat "$BACKUP_DIR/BACKUP_INFO.txt"
ls -lh "$BACKUP_DIR"

Should contain:

✅ clawdbot.json
✅ credentials.tar.gz
✅ workspace-*.tar.gz (one per agent)

Config Changes Required

Example: Switch WhatsApp to pairing:

jq '.whatsapp.dmPolicy = "pairing"' ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json | sponge ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json

Example: Set explicit sandbox scope:

jq '.agent.sandbox.scope = "agent"' ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json | sponge ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json

# 5. Stop gateway
cd ~/code/clawdbot
pnpm clawdbot gateway stop

# 6. Update code
git checkout main
git pull --rebase origin main
pnpm install
pnpm build

# 7. Run doctor
pnpm clawdbot doctor --yes

# 8. Test
pnpm clawdbot gateway start  # foreground for testing

# 9. Deploy

pnpm clawdbot gateway start --daemon

Rollback Flow

# Quick rollback
~/.skills/clawdbot-update/restore-clawdbot.sh \x3Cbackup-dir>

# Manual rollback
cd ~/code/clawdbot
git checkout \x3Cold-commit>
pnpm install && pnpm build
cp \x3Cbackup-dir>/clawdbot.json ~/.clawdbot/
pnpm clawdbot gateway restart

Testing After Update

Functionality Tests

Provider DMs work (check pairing policy)
Group mentions respond
Typing indicators work
Agent routing works
Sandbox isolation works
Tool restrictions enforced

New Features

pnpm clawdbot agents list
pnpm clawdbot logs --tail 50
pnpm clawdbot providers list --usage
pnpm clawdbot skills list

Monitoring

# Live logs
pnpm clawdbot logs --follow

# Or Web UI
open http://localhost:3001/logs

# Check status
pnpm clawdbot status
pnpm clawdbot gateway status

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Gateway won't start:

pnpm clawdbot logs --grep error
pnpm clawdbot doctor

Auth errors:

# OAuth profiles might need re-login
pnpm clawdbot providers login \x3Cprovider>

Sandbox issues:

# Check sandbox config
jq '.agent.sandbox' ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json

# Check per-agent sandbox
jq '.routing.agents[] | {name, sandbox}' ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json

Emergency Restore

If something goes wrong:

# 1. Stop gateway
pnpm clawdbot gateway stop

# 2. Full restore
LATEST_BACKUP=$(ls -t ~/.clawdbot-backups/ | head -1)
~/.skills/clawdbot-update/restore-clawdbot.sh ~/.clawdbot-backups/$LATEST_BACKUP

# 3. Restart
pnpm clawdbot gateway start

安全使用建议

This skill appears to be what it claims: a local backup/update/restore tool for Clawdbot. Before running it: 1) Review the scripts yourself (they will read and archive ~/.clawdbot and any workspaces listed in your config, including credentials and auth tokens). 2) Run the dry-run script first (~/.skills/clawdbot-update/backup-clawdbot-dryrun.sh) to verify which paths will be archived. 3) Ensure you have pnpm (and sponge if you plan to use the SKILL.md examples) available — SKILL.md calls pnpm for stopping/starting/building and examples use sponge, but those binaries are not listed in the metadata. 4) Protect the backup directory (~/.clawdbot-backups) — backups will contain secrets. 5) Test restore in a safe environment if possible; restores will overwrite files and workspaces. If you do not fully trust the source, don’t run the full backup/restore on a production system until you’ve inspected the scripts locally.

功能分析

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: clawdbot-skill-update Version: 1.0.2 The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle 'clawdbot-skill-update' is classified as benign. The skill's purpose is to provide a comprehensive backup, update, and restore workflow for Clawdbot installations, which inherently requires extensive file system access and modification. All scripts (`backup-clawdbot-dryrun.sh`, `backup-clawdbot-full.sh`, `restore-clawdbot.sh`, `validate-setup.sh`, `check-upstream.sh`) perform actions directly aligned with this stated purpose, such as archiving configuration, session states, agent data, credentials, and dynamically detected workspaces, as well as interacting with a local Git repository and the `pnpm clawdbot` CLI. Network activity is limited to `git fetch origin` for checking updates from GitHub, which is legitimate. There is no evidence of data exfiltration to unauthorized external endpoints, persistence mechanisms, obfuscation, or prompt injection attempts in the markdown files (SKILL.md, README.md, etc.) that would instruct an AI agent to perform malicious actions. The documentation is transparent, includes warnings for destructive operations, and even contains explicit security checks in `TEST.md`.

能力评估

ℹ Purpose & Capability

The skill's name and description match what the scripts do: dynamic detection of agent workspaces, full backup, restore, and update checks against ~/code/clawdbot. One minor inconsistency: the SKILL.md metadata declares required binaries (bash, jq, tar, git) but the instructions and workflow also expect 'pnpm' (used to stop/start/build the gateway) and examples reference 'sponge' — those are not listed. This is likely an omission but should be noted before install.

✓ Instruction Scope

The SKILL.md and included scripts explicitly read/wrap files under ~/.clawdbot (config, sessions, agents, credentials, cron, sandboxes) and arbitrary workspaces whose paths are read from ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json. They also interact with ~/code/clawdbot (git/pnpm). All of these actions are within the stated scope of backing up and restoring Clawdbot state. Note: restore extracts into the configured workspace paths and will overwrite those locations (the script prompts for confirmation).

✓ Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and this is an instruction-only skill containing plain shell scripts — no remote downloads, package installs, or archive extractions pulled from external URLs. That minimizes install-time risk.

ℹ Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables or external credentials, and it does not call out any remote endpoints for exfiltration. However, by design it reads and archives sensitive local data (credentials, auth tokens, agent workspaces). That is proportional to its backup/restore purpose but is sensitive — users should expect backups to contain secrets and protect the backup directory accordingly.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not marked always:true and does not try to modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. It operates on user-owned files and directories and calls locally-available tools (git/pnpm). The scripts will write backups to ~/.clawdbot-backups and can overwrite workspace paths during restore — that is expected for a restore tool.
