πŸ“‹ Tips & Best Practices

Updates Not Running

1. Verify cron is enabled: check cron.enabled in config 2. Confirm Gateway is running continuously 3. Check cron job exists: clawdbot cron list

Update Failures

If an update fails, the summary will include the error. Common fixes:

  • Permission errors: Ensure the Gateway user can write to skill directories
  • Network errors: Check internet connectivity
  • Package conflicts: Run clawdbot doctor to diagnose
  • Disabling Auto-Updates

    Remove the cron job:

    clawdbot cron remove "Daily Auto-Update"
    

    Or disable temporarily in config:

    {
      "cron": {
        "enabled": false
      }
    }
