2 things to look at

  • no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
  • 1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

OpenClaw Release Check

Monitors for new releases of the openclaw npm package and notifies the user when an update is available.

Command

bash {{HOME}}/bin/openclaw-release-checker.sh

Exit Codes

  • 0: A new version is available. The script prints JSON with current, latest, and update_available fields.
  • 2: Already on the latest version. No notification needed.
  • 1: Error determining versions.

Behavior

Run the check command. Parse the JSON output.

  • If exit code is 0 (update available): Send the user a message like:

    📦 OpenClaw update available: v{latest} (currently running v{current}). Update with: npm install -g openclaw@latest

  • If exit code is 2 (up to date): No message needed. Only mention it if the user explicitly asked for a check.

  • If exit code is 1 (error): Let the user know the check failed and include the error output.

Schedule

This skill should run once daily (8:00 AM). Only notify the user when there is actually a new version — do not send "you're up to date" messages on scheduled runs.

Manual Use

The user may also ask things like:

  • "Is there a new version of openclaw?"
  • "Check for openclaw updates"
  • "What version of openclaw am I running?"

For manual requests, always report the result regardless of whether an update is available.

Notes

  • Requires openclaw and npm on PATH
  • The current version comes from openclaw --version
  • The latest version comes from the npm registry via npm view openclaw version
