auto-updater

To automate daily updates for Clawdbot, you can use a scheduled maintenance skill that runs a daily cron job to check for and apply updates to Clawdbot and all installed skills automatically.

The auto-updater works with npm, pnpm, bun, and source installs by detecting the installation type and executing the appropriate package manager or source update commands followed by migrations.

You can schedule unattended maintenance for small fleets by setting up a daily cron job that detects your installation type, applies package manager updates, and synchronizes the skill registry automatically.

You can get a report of updated and unchanged skills because the auto-update process produces a concise before/after summary listing all updated skills, unchanged skills, and any errors encountered.

You need macOS or Linux to run scheduled auto-updates for Clawdbot, as the automated maintenance process requires these platforms to schedule cron jobs and execute package manager updates.

Manual Clawdbot updates fail or miss skills because manual maintenance is time-consuming and error-prone, whereas automating update checks applies updates consistently and reports any errors encountered.
