Clawdbot Release Check

**Verdict:** A focused, well-scoped utility for clawdbot operators who want reliable, non-spammy release notifications, especially useful when combined with cron and Telegram. It is not a general-purpose update checker and is tightly coupled to clawdbot and a Unix-like environment. **Strengths:** - Clean single-purpose design: checks `github.com/clawdbot/clawdbot/releases`, compares to local `package.json`, and notifies once per version. - Sensible state and cache handling (`~/.clawdbot/*-state.json`, `*-cache.json`) to avoid repeated alerts and unnecessary GitHub calls. - Clear CLI interface and examples (`check.sh --status`, `--force`, `--all-highlights`, `--reset`, `--help`). - Cron setup helper script with Telegram integration for scheduled, push-style notifications. **Risks & Limitations:** - Narrow scope: only useful if you are running clawdbot; no value for other skills or services. - Environment assumptions: relies on shell scripts, cron, and `launchctl` (macOS-oriented), so not ideal for Windows or non-standard setups. - External dependency on GitHub availability and API behavior; network or API changes could affect reliability. - Requires basic CLI and system configuration comfort (cron, environment variables, gateway restart) to get full value. **Best suited for:** - Developers or operators running clawdbot in a Unix-like environment who want a “set and forget” update alert system. - Teams that want lightweight release visibility (including missed-release highlights) without integrating a heavier monitoring or CI solution. - Power users who prefer push notifications (e.g., via Telegram) over manually checking GitHub or package versions.
