fnOS OpenClaw Updater

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a transparent OpenClaw updater, but users should understand it replaces the active managed OpenClaw package when run.

Install this only if you want an agent to help update OpenClaw on fnOS. Before running it, confirm OPENCLAW_DATA_DIR points to the intended managed install, check the version npm reports, and have a rollback or backup plan because the command replaces the OpenClaw package currently used by the gateway.

Missing User Warnings

Finding
The skill performs an in-place `npm install` over the active OpenClaw installation and states it will automatically take effect, but it does not require confirmation, recommend a backup, or warn about downtime, breakage, or rollback planning. Because this is an updater for a running gateway component, a failed or incompatible package update could disrupt service or leave the agent in a broken state.
