OpenClaw Platform Updates
The Problem
OpenClaw updates regularly with new channels, model support, and occasional breaking changes that need careful handling.
How It Works
Weekly: fetch the changelog and docs index. Compare against current config. Summarize what changed and what might affect existing agents. When an update is approved, the agent checks config, applies the update, and verifies all agents respond correctly.
The Prompts That Drive This
The update prompt compares current config version against latest, identifies breaking changes, and recommends whether to update based on risk vs benefit.
Related Use Cases
Daily Security Auditing & Hardening
Configuration changes drift over time. A new tool gets installed, permissions get reset during an update. These need to be caught early.
Agents That Improve Themselves Weekly
Static prompts degrade over time as the world changes. Agents need to identify their own gaps and propose fixes.
Automated Nightly Backup to GitHub
If the machine dies, you need to restore the entire agent setup quickly. Expired credentials are the number one cause of silent failures.
