# Clawdbot Release Check
Checks for new clawdbot releases from GitHub and notifies you once per version. No nagging.
## Installation
```bash
clawdhub install clawdbot-release-check
```
## Quick Setup (with cron)
```bash
# 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:
```bash
launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.clawdis.gateway
```
## Manual Usage
```bash
# 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
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
