The definitive, self-improving, community-wisdom-infused backup/restore skill. British dry humour + canine wisdom. Tested in production. Evolving with every...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent for a full destructive backup-and-restore workflow, but it handles secrets and requires root — treat it as high-risk until you review and harden it. Before using: (1) Read the entire SKILL.md and any helper scripts (openclaw-backup / openclaw-restore) to ensure there is no network exfiltration or unexpected commands. (2) Do not run blindly as root; test in an isolated sandbox or VM first. (3) Do not store raw backups containing credentials in plain /root/BACKUPS — encrypt backups (gpg or similar), set strict file permissions, and consider off-host secure storage. (4) Verify backup integrity before any delete step. (5) If you plan to allow automated or unattended runs, implement explicit safeguards (confirmation prompts, dry-run mode, and logs). If you want higher assurance, ask the author for an explicit threat model and a version of the workflow that encrypts and verifies sensitive data before and after movement.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-complete-backup-delete-fresh-install-restore-cycle
Version: 2.2.1
The SKILL.md file outlines a comprehensive system restoration workflow that involves high-risk operations, including executing remote scripts via 'curl | sh' (IOC: https://cli.openclaw.ai/install.sh), performing global 'npm' uninstalls, and using destructive commands like 'rm -rf' and 'pkill' with root/sudo privileges. While these actions are aligned with the stated purpose of a 'backup-delete-fresh-install' cycle, the automated handling of sensitive API keys and credentials, combined with the potential for significant system-wide impact, presents a substantial risk profile. The bundle is classified as suspicious due to these high-privilege execution patterns and the lack of explicit safeguards for the destructive operations it performs.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description claim a full backup/delete/install/restore cycle and the SKILL.md contains step-by-step shell commands to back up OpenClaw data, delete, reinstall, and restore. Requested privileges (root/sudo) and referenced paths (~/.openclaw, /usr/local/bin) are consistent with that purpose.
Instruction Scope
Instructions explicitly read and copy sensitive files (credentials, API keys, agent identities, Telegram/channel configs) from user dirs into a backup folder (e.g., /root/BACKUPS). That's expected for a full backup/restore skill, but the SKILL.md as shown does not recommend encrypting backups, controlling permissions, or safely transporting/storing them — an important omission for any workflow that collects secrets.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files; nothing is written to disk by the skill package itself, which reduces supply-chain risk. The SKILL.md does reference 'openclaw-backup' and 'openclaw-restore' helper scripts but does not include an installer for them.
Credentials
The skill requires root/sudo access in its prerequisites, which is proportional for a destructive fresh-install workflow. However, it asks the operator to copy credentials and other secrets into an unencrypted backup location under /root without advising encryption, least privilege, or secure transport — this is sensitive and should be justified and hardened before execution.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true or other elevated platform persistence, nor does it include install-time scripts modifying other skills. It is user-invocable and may be invoked autonomously per platform defaults, which is expected behavior.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
