/install simple-file-backup
Description
Create a timestamped backup copy of a file in the same directory. Use when the user wants to save a copy of a file before making changes.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent and small. If you plan to run it, review run.sh (already short and readable) to confirm it meets your expectations. Note: the script copies files locally and will overwrite only when a timestamp collision occurs (unlikely); it does not send data anywhere. Consider whether you need preservation of ownership/permissions/extended attributes (cp options like -p or -a) or handling of symlinks — the current script uses plain cp. If you need different behavior, modify the script accordingly before use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: simple-file-backup
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a straightforward utility for creating timestamped backups of files. The implementation in run.sh follows good practices, including proper variable quoting and error handling, and the instructions in SKILL.md are consistent with the stated purpose without any signs of malicious intent or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the artifacts. The skill only requires cp and date, which are exactly what the described functionality needs. The included run.sh implements the stated behavior (timestamped copy).
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md shows a single cp command using date; run.sh implements the same steps and only reads the specified file path and optional backup directory. It does not reference other files, environment variables, or external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is instruction/code-only and does not download or extract external artifacts. The included shell script is small, readable, and self-contained.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The script only uses standard POSIX tools (cp, date) and only accesses the file path(s) supplied by the caller.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill does not request persistent presence (always: false) and does not modify other skills or system-wide settings. It only performs an on-demand local file copy.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install simple-file-backup - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/simple-file-backup - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
