Registers a monthly scheduled task that checks the GhostClaw repo for new commits and notifies the user if updates are available.
Find the main group's chat JID:
sqlite3 store/messages.db "SELECT jid FROM registered_groups WHERE folder = 'main' LIMIT 1;"
Register the task:
CHAT_JID="<main chat JID>"

This runs at 10am on the every Monday.
If updates are available:
3 new GhostClaw commits available:
- abc1234 Add heartbeat disk usage threshold config
- def5678 Fix Telegram reconnection on network change
- ghi9012 Update Grammy to 1.25
Review the changes before applying. This code runs with full system access. Run
git diff HEAD..origin/mainto see the full diff. When ready, run/update-ghostclawin Claude Code to apply safely.
If up to date: silence (wrapped in <internal> tags).
This skill deliberately does NOT auto-update. The user must:
/update-ghostclaw to apply safely (or apply manually)GhostClaw runs bare metal with no sandboxing. Blindly pulling code is a security risk.
Wire Gmail MCP server into the agent so it can read, search, and send emails. Optional — not core functionality.
Add Slack as a channel. Can replace WhatsApp entirely or run alongside it. Uses Socket Mode (no public URL needed).
Add Telegram as a channel. Can replace WhatsApp entirely or run alongside it. Also configurable as a control-only channel (triggers actions) or passive channel (receives notifications only).
Add Agent Swarm (Teams) support to Telegram. Each subagent gets its own bot identity in the group. Requires Telegram channel to be set up first (use /add-telegram). Triggers on "agent swarm", "agent teams telegram", "telegram swarm", "bot pool".
Add new capabilities or modify GhostClaw behavior. Use when user wants to add channels (Telegram, Slack, email input), change triggers, add integrations, modify the router, or make any other customizations. This is an interactive skill that asks questions to understand what the user wants.
Debug agent issues. Use when things aren't working, agent fails, authentication problems, or to understand how the system works. Covers logs, environment variables, sessions, and common issues.
