/install plakar-backup
Description
Teaches the agent how to list, inspect, diff, and restore Plakar snapshots. Invoke when the user says "undo", "rollback", "restore", or "revert".
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to implement legitimate Plakar restore steps, but its metadata omits runtime requirements and the source is unknown. Before installing: 1) Verify the skill's provenance/author (no homepage, unknown source). 2) Confirm you have the 'plakar' binary and the plugin configuration key 'plakar.store' documented and correct. 3) Ensure the agent is configured to always prompt you before any restore (restores overwrite live files). 4) Test restores in a safe environment (non-production) to confirm behavior. If you require strict visibility, ask the publisher to update the metadata to declare the required binary and config path.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: plakar-backup
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle provides legitimate workflows for managing file restorations using the Plakar backup utility. It includes standard CLI commands for listing, diffing, and restoring snapshots in SKILL.md, and explicitly instructs the agent to seek user confirmation before performing operations that overwrite files. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (Plakar restore) aligns with the SKILL.md (listing, diffing, restoring snapshots). However the registry metadata declares no required binaries or config paths while the SKILL.md explicitly requires the 'plakar' binary in $PATH and a plugin config value 'plakar.store' — an incoherence between claimed requirements and the runtime instructions.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly scoped to listing, inspecting, diffing, and restoring Plakar snapshots and explicitly tell the agent to confirm with the user before restoring. They do direct the agent to run commands that can overwrite live files (restore operations) which is expected for this purpose and appropriately flagged in the doc.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files, so there is nothing written to disk by the skill itself. That is the lowest-risk install mechanism.
Credentials
The SKILL.md depends on the 'plakar' binary and on a plugin configuration value 'plakar.store', but the skill's declared requirements list no required binaries or config paths. While no secrets or environment variables are requested, the omission means an agent or administrator might not realize the skill will attempt to run a local tool and access a store path.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and is user-invocable only; it does not ask to modify other skills or system-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed (default) but is not combined with other high-risk flags here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install plakar-backup - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/plakar-backup - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.1
- Updated all CLI command examples to use modern plakar syntax with -no-agent and at <store> (v1.0.6+)
- Added instructions for restoring to a custom directory and restoring specific paths within a snapshot
- Clarified listing, inspecting, and diffing snapshots with revised commands and options
- Stated the requirement to always pass -no-agent, removing any need for a running plakar agent
- Minor corrections to descriptions for improved clarity and accuracy
v1.0.0
Initial release of Plakar Restore Workflows skill.
- Enables listing, inspecting, and restoring Plakar filesystem snapshots.
- Responds to user intents for undo, rollback, restore, or revert actions.
- Guides agents to confirm restores with users before overwriting files.
- Provides commands for snapshot listing, inspection, restoration, and optional diffing.
- Clearly separates restore operations from snapshot creation (which is handled elsewhere).
