/install sync
Description
Synchronize files and directories between local, remote, and cloud storage reliably.
Usage Guidance
This skill is a text-only set of best-practices for using rsync/rclone/unison — it does not include code or request credentials. Still, be mindful: if you let an agent execute these commands, those commands can read and modify local files and contact remote hosts. Before running any destructive sync (especially with --delete or rclone sync), run --dry-run and inspect the exact command the agent will run. Ensure rsync/rclone on your system are the versions you expect, and never let the agent hardcode cloud credentials into scripts. If you prefer, run the suggested commands yourself rather than allowing autonomous execution.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: sync
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides comprehensive instructions for using `rsync` and `rclone` for file synchronization, including local, remote, and cloud storage. The `SKILL.md` content focuses on best practices, such as using `--dry-run`, avoiding hardcoded credentials, and specifying SSH keys for remote operations. There is no evidence of intentional malicious behavior, data exfiltration, backdoor installation, or prompt injection designed to subvert the agent for harmful purposes. The instructions are clear, well-aligned with the stated purpose, and even promote good security hygiene.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the SKILL.md. The only runtime requirements declared are rsync or rclone binaries, which are exactly what a sync helper would need.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains concrete, narrowly-scoped guidance for rsync, rclone, unison, and SSH usage. It does not instruct the agent to read unrelated system files, harvest credentials, or post data to unexpected endpoints. It explicitly advises not to hardcode cloud credentials.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — this is instruction-only, so nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables or credentials, and the instructions only reference normal user paths (e.g., ~/.ssh/key) appropriate for SSH-based sync. No unrelated secrets are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-enabled and does not request persistent modifications. It relies on user-invoked commands and therefore does not require elevated or permanent privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install sync - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/sync - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
