Automatically update Clawdbot and all installed skills once daily. Runs via cron, checks for updates, applies them, and messages the user with a summary of what changed.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Keep your Clawdbot and skills up to date automatically with daily update checks.
This skill sets up a daily cron job that: Updates Clawdbot itself (via clawdbot doctor or package manager) Updates all installed skills (via clawdhub update --all) Messages you with a summary of what was updated
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: 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."
