Copy — File & Data Copy Operations Reference

Quick-reference skill for file copy strategies, rsync patterns, copy-on-write, and cross-platform synchronization.

When to Use

  • Duplicating files or directory trees with specific filters
  • Setting up rsync-based backups or mirrors
  • Understanding copy-on-write (CoW) behavior
  • Implementing efficient copy strategies for large datasets
  • Troubleshooting copy failures and permission issues

Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent and safe: it provides documentation via a bundled bash script and does not request credentials or external installs. Before enabling, quickly review the full scripts/script.sh to ensure there are no hidden commands beyond printed guidance (the provided portion only emits help text). If you allow the agent to invoke skills autonomously, remember that the skill contains shell examples (cp, rsync, dd, rm-like patterns in docs) — those are just examples, but avoid giving the agent untrusted inputs that could cause destructive file operations on your system. If you need stricter control, run the skill manually or in a sandboxed environment first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: copy Version: 1.0.0 The 'copy' skill is a purely informational reference guide for file duplication and synchronization operations (rsync, CoW, etc.). The main script (scripts/script.sh) only outputs static text documentation and does not execute any actual file operations, network calls, or sensitive data access.
Capability Assessment
✓ Purpose & Capability
The name/description (copy/rsync/CoW reference) match the included SKILL.md and the bundled scripts. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are requested.
✓ Instruction Scope
SKILL.md tells the agent to run scripts/script.sh with a small set of documented subcommands. The bundled script's visible code prints guidance text and examples rather than executing remote or system-altering operations. The instructions do not request reading unrelated files or exfiltrating data.
✓ Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only plus a local script). Nothing is downloaded or written to disk beyond the included script, so install risk is minimal.
✓ Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. SKILL.md documents an optional COPY_DIR variable (a harmless config), which is proportionate to the skill's purpose.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not flagged always:true and uses default agent invocation settings. It does not request persistent system-wide changes or access to other skills' configs.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install copy
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /copy
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
