Description
Backup OpenClaw configuration file with hash-based change detection. Use when user asks to backup, create backup of, or save OpenClaw config (openclaw.json)....
README (SKILL.md)
Clawbackup
Backup OpenClaw configuration file with automatic change detection.
Quick Start
Backup Config
From workspace directory:
python config_backup.py ..\openclaw.json
Or with custom backup directory:
python config_backup.py ..\openclaw.json -o backup
Features
- JSON5 Validation: Validates config file before backup
- Hash-based Change Detection: Skips backup if file hasn't changed (compares SHA256 hash)
- Timestamped Backups: Creates backups with timestamp format:
openclaw_20260319_143052_123456.json - Custom Output Directory: Specify backup location with
-oflag
Script Location
The script is located in "scripts" directory
Usage
usage: config_backup.py [-h] [-o OUTPUT] file
Validate JSON5 and backup with hash check
positional arguments:
file JSON5 file path
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-o OUTPUT, --output Backup directory (default: backup)
Example Output
✅ JSON5 validate passed
📦 已备份: backup\openclaw_20260319_143052_123456.json
If file unchanged:
✅ JSON5 validate passed
⚠️ config file unchange, skip backup
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and limited to local backups. Before installing/using: ensure you run the script intentionally (it will read the file path you provide and write backups to the chosen directory), and confirm you have Python and the json5 package available (the SKILL.md/script do not declare this dependency). Verify the backup directory and filesystem permissions so backups are stored where you expect, and review the included script if you need to ensure no additional behavior (the script is short and local-only).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: claw-config-backup
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a legitimate utility for backing up OpenClaw configuration files with JSON5 validation and SHA256 hash-based change detection. The Python script `scripts/config_backup.py` performs local file operations using standard libraries and lacks any indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (backup openclaw.json) align with included script and SKILL.md. The script only reads the provided config file, validates it as JSON5, computes hashes, and copies it to a local backup directory — all expected for a backup utility.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running the included script against a given file and optionally a backup directory. The script only reads the specified file and local filesystem paths; it does not access other system config, environment variables, or network endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec — instruction-only with an included script. Nothing is downloaded or written system-wide by an installer. The only runtime requirement is Python and the json5 package (not declared), which is a low-risk dependency.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths and the code does not attempt to read any secrets or unrelated config. Requested access (local file read/write) is proportional to the purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is user-invocable, not always-enabled; it does not request permanent presence or modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install claw-config-backup - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/claw-config-backup - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
