Description
Backup and restore OpenClaw data. Use when user asks to create backups, set up automatic backup schedules, restore from backup, or manage backup rotation. Ha...
Usage Guidance
This package appears to do what it says: create and rotate local archives of ~/.openclaw. Before installing or scheduling it: (1) remember backups include API keys, agent auth, Telegram sessions and other secrets — protect the backup directory (restrict filesystem permissions) and consider encrypting archives or storing them in an encrypted location; (2) inspect the script (you already have it) to confirm it only touches the expected paths; (3) verify what the OpenClaw agent's "report result to user" will transmit (avoid sending archive contents or secrets to external endpoints); (4) test restore procedures in a safe environment before trusting production data; (5) note the package has no homepage and the registry metadata owner differs from the embedded _meta.json ownerId — this lowers provenance confidence, so prefer a well-known source or mirror if available.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: openclaw-backup-safe Version: 1.0.1 The OpenClaw Backup skill provides functionality to archive and restore the `~/.openclaw` directory, including sensitive data like credentials and agent configurations. The `scripts/backup.sh` script correctly uses `tar` to create archives, excludes temporary files, and implements a 7-day rotation policy. The `SKILL.md` and `references/restore.md` files provide clear instructions for backup, restore, and scheduling via OpenClaw's cron system. All operations, including file system access and handling of sensitive data, are directly aligned with the stated purpose of a backup utility and show no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized actions. The prompt injection surface in `SKILL.md` is used legitimately to instruct the agent to run the backup script.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, SKILL.md, restore reference, and scripts all focus on archiving ~/.openclaw (configs, credentials, agents, workspace, telegram session, cron). Nothing in the bundle asks for unrelated cloud credentials, binaries, or system access beyond typical filesystem operations.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly scoped to creating and rotating local archives and restoring them. They explicitly include sensitive items (credentials/, agents/, workspace/, telegram/). The cron example instructs an agent to run the backup script and "report result to user" — that reporting step is not defined and could leak metadata about backups if the agent transmits output; consider auditing what the agent will send when it "reports."
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is an instruction-only skill with a simple shell script. Nothing is downloaded or installed by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars, credentials, or config paths. The included script operates on $HOME/.openclaw and the backup directory only — proportional to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and model invocation is allowed by default. The skill suggests scheduling via the OpenClaw cron system, which is consistent with a backup utility; no permanent elevated privileges or modifications to other skills are requested.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install openclaw-backup-safe
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /openclaw-backup-safe
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
