Description
Synchronize files and directories between local, remote, and cloud storage reliably.
Usage Guidance
This is an instruction-only how-to for rsync/rclone/unison and appears coherent with its purpose. Before following commands: (1) verify the skill source/author because homepage is missing and metadata has a small mismatch; (2) always test destructive operations with --dry-run and keep backups — commands like --delete and rclone sync can remove data; (3) be cautious with SSH keys and cloud credentials — the docs reference ~/.ssh/key and rclone config, but you should never paste secrets into an unknown source; (4) run commands yourself rather than pasting them into an automated agent — the skill will not run code on its own, but executing the suggested commands will operate on your files. If you want additional assurance, ask the publisher for a canonical homepage or repository and confirm the ownerId discrepancy before installing or following the instructions.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: sync-backup Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle contains only metadata and documentation (SKILL.md) providing best practices for using standard synchronization tools like rsync and rclone. It includes helpful safety recommendations such as using --dry-run, verifying mounts, and utilizing checksums for data integrity, with no evidence of malicious code, exfiltration, or harmful instructions.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name/description (file synchronization) match the runtime instructions and required binaries (rsync or rclone). There are no unrelated required binaries, environment variables, or config paths. Note: registry metadata vs _meta.json show different ownerId/slug timestamps — a minor metadata inconsistency that does not affect functionality but is worth verifying.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains best-practice commands and cautionary notes for rsync/rclone/unison (dry-run, --delete, excludes, checksums, SSH key usage). The instructions do reference typical user paths (example: ~/.ssh/key) and logging to files, but they do not instruct the agent to read or transmit system files or secrets automatically. All actions are explicit command examples the user would run themselves.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — this is instruction-only, so nothing will be downloaded or written by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The use of SSH keys or cloud credentials is discussed as part of normal user workflows, not requested or required by the skill.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable only. It does not request persistent presence or privileged modifications to the agent or other skills.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install sync-backup
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /sync-backup
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
