What it does

Clawdbot Release Check is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Check for new clawdbot releases and notify once per new version.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/check.sh` and `scripts/setup.sh`).

The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

Example prompts

  • “/clawdbot-release-check”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Clawdbot Release Check loads about 634 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 112 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~634

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 112 words (~634 tokens).
