Runs via cron, checks for updates, applies them, and messages the user with a summary of what changed.\"\nmetadata: {\"version\":\"1.0.0\",\"clawdbot\":{\"emoji\":\"🔄\",\"os\":[\"darwin\",\"linux\"]}}\n---\n\n# Auto-Updater Skill\n\nKeep your Clawdbot and skills up to date automatically with daily update checks.\n\n## What It Does\n\nThis skill sets up a daily cron job that:\n\n1. Updates Clawdbot itself (via `clawdbot doctor` or package manager)\n2. Updates all installed skills (via `clawdhub update --all`)\n3. Messages you with a summary of what was updated\n\n## Setup\n\n### Quick Start\n\nAsk Clawdbot to set up the auto-updater:\n\n```\nSet up daily auto-updates for yourself and all your skills.\n```\n\nOr manually add the cron job:\n\n```bash\nclawdbot cron add \\\n  --name \"Daily Auto-Update\" \\\n  --cron \"0 4 * * *\" \\\n  --tz \"America/Los_Angeles\" \\\n  --session isolated \\\n  --wake now \\\n  --deliver \\\n  --message \"Run daily auto-updates: check for Clawdbot updates and update all skills. Report what was updated.\"\n```\n\n### Configuration Options\n\n| Option | Default | Description |\n|--------|---------|-------------|\n| Time | 4:00 AM | When to run updates (use `--cron` to change) |\n| Timezone | System default | Set with `--tz` |\n| Delivery | Main session | Where to send the update summary |\n\n## How Updates Work\n\n### Clawdbot Updates\n\nFor **npm/pnpm/bun installs**:\n```bash\nnpm update -g clawdbot@latest\n# or: pnpm update -g clawdbot@latest\n# or: bun update -g clawdbot@latest\n```\n\nFor **source installs** (git checkout):\n```bash\nclawdbot update\n```\n\nAlways run `clawdbot doctor` after updating to apply migrations.\n\n### Skill Updates\n\n```bash\nclawdhub update --all\n```\n\nThis checks all installed skills against the registry and updates any with new versions available.\n\n## Update Summary Format\n\nAfter updates complete, you'll receive a message like:\n\n```\n🔄 Daily Auto-Update Complete\n\n**Clawdbot**: Updated to v2026.1.10 (was v2026.1.9)\n\n**Skills Updated (3)**:\n- prd: 2.0.3 → 2.0.4\n- browser: 1.2.0 → 1.2.1  \n- nano-banana-pro: 3.1.0 → 3.1.2\n\n**Skills Already Current (5)**:\ngemini, sag, things-mac, himalaya, peekaboo\n\nNo issues encountered.\n```\n\n## Manual Commands\n\nCheck for updates without applying:\n```bash\nclawdhub update --all --dry-run\n```\n\nView current skill versions:\n```bash\nclawdhub list\n```\n\nCheck Clawdbot version:\n```bash\nclawdbot --version\n```\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Updates Not Running\n\n1.
