Auto-Updater Skill

This skill keeps OpenClaw updated by running a nightly cron job that executes an external shell script — so the update works even when the gateway restarts.

Quick Setup

To enable auto-updates, say "set up auto-updater" and I'll:

  1. Copy the update script to your home folder
  2. Create a cron job that runs the script at 4 AM daily

Why a Script?

The agent can't run commands while the gateway is restarting. We use a standalone shell script that runs independently of the agent.

The Update Script
