Auto-Updater Skill

• You run Clawdbot continuously (e.g. via Gateway) and want updates applied hands-free each night.
• You have multiple skills installed and don't want to manually track version releases for each one.
• You need a record of what changed — the delivered summary gives you a daily changelog without digging through logs.
• You're on macOS or Linux and want a set-and-forget maintenance routine.

• You're on Windows — the skill's metadata declares support for darwin and linux only.
• You prefer to review and approve updates before they're applied; use clawdhub update --all --dry-run manually instead.

Registers a cron job (default: 4:00 AM in your configured timezone) that runs automatically each day. The schedule and timezone are fully configurable when adding the job.

Handles updating Clawdbot itself regardless of how it was installed — npm, pnpm, bun, or a source/git checkout. Automatically runs clawdbot doctor post-update to apply any pending migrations.

Runs clawdhub update --all to check every installed skill against the registry and upgrade any that have newer versions available in a single pass.

After each run, delivers a formatted message listing which version Clawdbot moved to, which skills were upgraded (with old → new version numbers), which were already current, and any errors encountered.

Remove the cron job with a single command (clawdbot cron remove "Daily Auto-Update") or pause it temporarily via a config flag without losing your setup.

Schedule updates for 4:00 AM so patches are applied while you're asleep. Wake up to a summary in your Clawdbot session showing exactly what changed overnight.

If you have a dozen or more skills installed, manually tracking each one's release cadence is tedious. Auto-Updater handles the whole library in one job and flags anything that failed.

Review the delivered update summary at the start of your day to understand which tools got new capabilities or bug fixes before you rely on them for important tasks.
