What this skill does
Update OpenClaw Use for general requests to update an existing Claw/Gateway. Select the existing update workflow; do not create another deployer or scheduler. Release validation, publication, new installations, and unrelated hosts are outside this workflow. Resolve the owner Identify the host, runtime user, profile/state root, service, running executable/release, and update owner from operator configuration and live inspection. The current repository or shell CLI may belong to another install. Keep private access details and state out of public artifacts. Read the owner runbook and choose the matching workflow: Installation Update path ------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canonical live main checkout and macOS app openclaw-live-updater. Operator-configured Team server update-team-server. Other managed deployments Deployment-specific skill/runbook and existing owner, including containers and declarative installations. Standard package or single-user source Updating and the update CLI contract, using the owning CLI on the target host/profile. Follow the selected workflow's commands, locks, backup/migration requirements, recovery, and cleanup. Do not apply standard CLI updates inside a separately managed release or running container, mutate files used by a live Gateway, or overwrite dirty checkouts. “Latest” preserves the configured channel; explicitly requested “latest main” selects the development source flow (--channel dev for the standard CLI). Preview the target and report the actual serving SHA: development preflight can select an older buildable commit. Do not auto-accept unapproved downgrades or plugin capability changes. Interruption and recovery An update request includes routine restart and bounded interruption, subject to deployment policy. Eligible sessions resume automatically. …
