# Agent Implementation Guide
When asked to set up auto-updates, follow this procedure.
## Step 1: Detect Installation Type
```bash
# Check if installed via npm globally
npm list -g clawdbot 2>/dev/null && echo "npm-global"
# Check if installed via source (git)
[ -d ~/.clawdbot/.git ] || [ -f /opt/clawdbot/.git/config ] && echo "source-install"
# Check pnpm
pnpm list -g clawdbot 2>/dev/null && echo "pnpm-global"
# Check bun
bun pm ls -g 2>/dev/null | grep clawdbot && echo "bun-global"
```
## Step 2: Create the Update Script (Optional)
For complex setups, create a helper script at `~/.clawdbot/scripts/auto-update.sh`:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
set -e
LOG_FILE="${HOME}/.clawdbot/logs/auto-update.log"
mkdir -p "$(dirname "$LOG_FILE")"
log() {
echo "[$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')] $1" >> "$LOG_FILE"
}
log "Starting auto-update..."
# Capture starting versions
CLAWDBOT_VERSION_BEFORE=$(clawdbot --version 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")
# Update Clawdbot
log "Updating Clawdbot..."
if command -v npm &> /dev/null && npm list -g clawdbot &> /dev/null; then
npm update -g clawdbot@latest 2>&1 | tee -a "$LOG_FILE"
elif command -v pnpm &> /dev/null && pnpm list -g clawdbot &> /dev/null; then
pnpm update -g clawdbot@latest 2>&1 | tee -a "$LOG_FILE"
elif command -v bun &> /dev/null; then
bun update -g clawdbot@latest 2>&1 | tee -a "$LOG_FILE"
else
log "Running clawdbot update (source install)"
clawdbot update 2>&1 | tee -a "$LOG_FILE" || true
fi
# Run doctor for migrations
log "Running doctor..."
clawdbot doctor --yes 2>&1 | tee -a "$LOG_FILE" || true
# Capture new version
CLAWDBOT_VERSION_AFTER=$(clawdbot --version 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")
# Update skills
log "Updating skills via ClawdHub..."
SKILL_OUTPUT=$(clawdhub update --all 2>&1) || true
echo "$SKILL_OUTPUT" >> "$LOG_FILE"
log "Auto-update complete."
# Output summary for agent to parse
echo "---UPDATE_SUMMARY_START---"
echo "clawdbot_before: $CLAWDBOT_VERSION_BEFORE"
echo "clawdbot_after: $CLAWDBOT_VERSION_AFTER"
echo "skill_output: $SKILL_OUTPUT"
echo "---UPDATE_SUMMARY_END---"
```
## Step 3: Add Cron Job
The recommended approach is to use Clawdbot's built-in cron with an isolated session:
```bash
clawdbot cron add \
--name "Daily Auto-Update" \
--cron "0 4 * * *" \
--tz "America/Los_Angeles" \
--session isolated \
--wake now \
--deliver \
--message "Run the daily auto-update routine:
1. Check and update Clawdbot:
- For npm installs: npm update -g clawdbot@latest
- For source installs: clawdbot update
- Then run: clawdbot doctor --yes
2. Update all skills:
- Run: clawdhub update --all
3. Report back with:
- Clawdbot version before/after
- List of skills that were updated (name + old version → new version)
- Any errors encountered
Format the summary clearly for the user."
```
## Step 4: Verify Setup
```bash
# Confirm cron job was added
clawdbot cron list
# Test the update commands work
clawdbot --version
clawdhub list
```
## Customization Prompts
Users may want to customize:
**Different time:**
```bash
--cron "0 6 * * *" # 6 AM instead of 4 AM
```
**Different timezone:**
```bash
--tz "Europe/London"
```
**Specific provider delivery:**
```bash
--provider telegram --to "@username"
```
**Weekly instead of daily:**
```bash
--cron "0 4 * * 0" # Sundays at 4 AM
```
## Error Handling
If updates fail, the agent should:
1. Log the error clearly
2. Still report partial success (if skills updated but Clawdbot didn't, or vice versa)
3. Suggest manual intervention if needed
Common errors to handle:
- `EACCES`: Permission denied → suggest `sudo` or fixing permissions
- Network timeouts → retry once, then report
- Git conflicts (source installs) → suggest `clawdbot update --force`
