Clawdbot Release Check

Checks for new clawdbot releases from GitHub and notifies you once per version. No nagging.

Installation

clawdhub install clawdbot-release-check

Quick Setup (with cron)

# Add daily update check at 9am, notify via Telegram
{baseDir}/scripts/setup.sh --telegram YOUR_TELEGRAM_ID

# Custom hour (e.g., 8am)
{baseDir}/scripts/setup.sh --hour 8 --telegram YOUR_TELEGRAM_ID

# Remove cron job
{baseDir}/scripts/setup.sh --uninstall

After setup, restart the gateway:

launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.clawdis.gateway

Manual Usage

# Check for updates (silent if up-to-date or already notified)
{baseDir}/scripts/check.sh

# Show version info
{baseDir}/scripts/check.sh --status

# Force notification (bypass "already notified" state)
{baseDir}/scripts/check.sh --force

# Show highlights from ALL missed releases
{baseDir}/scripts/check.sh --all-highlights

# Clear state (will notify again on next check)
{baseDir}/scripts/check.sh --reset

# Help
{baseDir}/scripts/check.sh --help

How It Works

Fetches latest release from
```
github.com/clawdbot/clawdbot/releases
```
Compares with your installed version (from
```
package.json
```
)
If behind, shows highlights from release notes
Saves state to prevent repeat notifications
