Description
Manages workspace backups by creating snapshots and enabling restore points for recovery. Use when backing up workspace or restoring from backup.
README (SKILL.md)
Workspace Backup Manager
Creates and manages workspace backup snapshots for recovery and versioning.
Usage
const backup = require('./skills/workspace-backup-manager');
// Create a backup
const result = backup.createBackup();
// Create named backup
const result = backup.createBackup({ name: 'before-major-change' });
// List backups
const list = backup.listBackups();
console.log(backup.formatList(list));
// Restore from backup
backup.restoreBackup({ backupName: 'backup-2026-03-26' });
// Cleanup old backups (keep last 10)
backup.cleanupBackups({ keepCount: 10 });
Functions

Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says — local backups, listing, restore, and cleanup — and it does not contact external services or request secrets. Before installing, consider: (1) it defaults to /root/.openclaw/workspace and will read/write/delete files there, so run it with appropriate filesystem permissions; (2) restore operations overwrite workspace files without confirmation, and cleanup permanently deletes backup directories, so back up important data elsewhere first; (3) review the included index.js if you want to confirm any behavior or change default paths; and (4) because the skill comes from an unknown source, prefer running it in a controlled environment (non-production or limited-permission user) until you are comfortable with it.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: jpeng-workspace-backup-manager
Version: 1.0.0
The workspace-backup-manager skill is a utility for creating, listing, and restoring backups of specific workspace files (e.g., MEMORY.md, SOUL.md) and directories. The code in index.js uses standard Node.js filesystem modules (fs) to perform local file copies and deletions within a defined workspace path (/root/.openclaw/workspace), with no evidence of network activity, data exfiltration, or malicious execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The code implements createBackup, listBackups, restoreBackup, cleanupBackups and formatList as described. The declared purpose (workspace backups and restore points) aligns with the files operated on and the storage location used.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructions and the code reference the same functionality and default paths (/root/.openclaw/workspace/backups). The README shows example usage consistent with exported functions. Note: the code will overwrite files when restoring and will delete backup directories during cleanup; there is no confirmation, access control, or size limits enforced—so accidental data overwrite or removal is possible if misused.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec; this is effectively an instruction-and-code skill that runs locally using only built-in Node modules (fs, path). No external downloads or package installs are requested.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or external service tokens are requested. The defaults use absolute filesystem paths under /root/.openclaw, which is consistent with its purpose but implies it needs filesystem write/read permission to that location.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not force-included (always: false) and does not modify other skills or global agent settings. It performs local filesystem writes and deletions only within backup/workspace directories.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install jpeng-workspace-backup-manager - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/jpeng-workspace-backup-manager - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
