auto-updater-gateway

v1.0.1

Schedule and run safe daily/weekly updates for Clawdbot + installed skills using the Gateway cron scheduler. Use when setting up "run updates at 04:00" jobs, rotating update reports, running `clawdhub update --all`, and (optionally) applying Clawdbot updates + restart + doctor.

Auto-Updater (Gateway)

Create a reliable daily auto-update routine using Clawdbot Cron (Gateway scheduler).

This is a "skill" in the sense of a repeatable workflow + correct config shapes (not a plugin).

Quick setup checklist

1) Ensure ClawHub CLI is logged in (for skill updates):

/home/xabo/.nvm/versions/node/v22.22.0/bin/clawdhub login --workdir /home/xabo/clawd --dir skills
/home/xabo/.nvm/versions/node/v22.22.0/bin/clawdhub whoami --workdir /home/xabo/clawd --dir skills

2) Decide: - When to run (cron + timezone) - Whether the job should only report, or update + restart

Use an isolated cron job so it doesn’t spam the main session context.

Example CLI (04:00 Europe/Stockholm):

/home/xabo/.nvm/versions/node/v22.22.0/bin/clawdbot cron add 
  --name "Daily auto-update (Clawdbot + skills)" 
  --cron "0 4 * * *" 
  --tz "Europe/Stockholm" 
  --session isolated 
  --wake now 
  --deliver 
  --channel telegram 
  --to "2095290688" 
  --message "Run daily auto-update: update skills via clawdhub update --all; if Clawdbot has an update available, apply it and restart; then run clawdbot doctor --non-interactive; report what changed."

What the job should do (workflow)

Within the cron run:

1) Capture “before” state - clawdbot --version - clawdhub list (skills + versions)

2) Update skills - clawdhub update --all

3) (Optional) Update Clawdbot - Only if the owner explicitly wants self-updates. - After updating, run clawdbot doctor --non-interactive. - Restart gateway if required.

4) Send a concise summary - Clawdbot version before/after - Skills updated (old → new) - Any errors

Notes / gotchas

  • Timezone field: in Gateway job objects this is schedule.tz (IANA tz like Europe/Stockholm).
  • Delivery: Prefer explicit channel + to so the job always reaches you.
  • Clawdbot self-update: can be disruptive (restarts). Run at a quiet time.

Troubleshooting

  • clawdhub update says “Not logged in” → run clawdhub login again.
  • Job doesn’t run → confirm Gateway is always-on and cron is enabled.
  • Nothing updates → that can be normal; still send a “no changes” report.
