# Auto-Updater Skill

Keep your Clawdbot and skills up to date automatically with daily update checks.

## What It Does

This skill sets up a daily cron job that:

1. Updates Clawdbot itself (via `clawdbot doctor` or package manager)
2. Updates all installed skills (via `clawdhub update --all`)
3. Messages you with a summary of what was updated

## Setup

### Quick Start

Ask Clawdbot to set up the auto-updater:

```
Set up daily auto-updates for yourself and all your skills.
```

Or manually add the cron job:

```bash
clawdbot cron add \
  --name "Daily Auto-Update" \
  --cron "0 4 * * *" \
  --tz "America/Los_Angeles" \
  --session isolated \
  --wake now \
  --deliver \
  --message "Run daily auto-updates: check for Clawdbot updates and update all skills. Report what was updated."
```

### Configuration Options

| Option | Default | Description |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| Time | 4:00 AM | When to run updates (use `--cron` to change) |
| Timezone | System default | Set with `--tz` |
| Delivery | Main session | Where to send the update summary |

## How Updates Work

### Clawdbot Updates

For **npm/pnpm/bun installs**:
```bash
npm update -g clawdbot@latest
# or: pnpm update -g clawdbot@latest
# or: bun update -g clawdbot@latest
```

For **source installs** (git checkout):
```bash
clawdbot update
```

Always run `clawdbot doctor` after updating to apply migrations.

### Skill Updates

```bash
clawdhub update --all
```

This checks all installed skills against the registry and updates any with new versions available.
