Description
Backup OpenClaw data to desktop - quick backup (without skills, ~100MB) or full backup (with skills, ~500MB+). Supports scheduled automatic backups.
Usage Guidance
This appears to be a straightforward local backup/restore tool — nevertheless: 1) Verify the skill's source before installing (registry shows unknown source; README references a GitHub repo — confirm that repo and checksums). 2) Inspect the scripts yourself before double-clicking or running them; they operate on ~/.openclaw and will move/replace data during restore. 3) Backups include encrypted credentials and (optionally) installed skills; store backup archives securely (encrypted at rest) and avoid placing them on untrusted cloud or shared drives. 4) Note mismatches: the README promises auto-install but the restore script only prompts (it will not automatically run npm install), and Windows batch files mentioned in docs are not included in the manifest. 5) If you rely on the size estimates, be aware the estimation code is buggy and may report 0 — do a test run. If you want higher assurance, obtain the package from a trusted upstream (official GitHub repo), verify signatures/checksums, and run the scripts in a safe environment first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: sen-openclaw-backup Version: 1.1.2 The skill provides a set of shell and batch scripts for backing up and restoring the OpenClaw data directory (~/.openclaw), including sensitive files like credentials and conversation history. While the scripts perform high-risk operations such as reading encrypted keys and overwriting configuration directories, these actions are transparently documented and strictly aligned with the tool's stated purpose of data migration. No evidence of data exfiltration, hidden persistence, or malicious command execution was found in scripts/backup.sh or scripts/restore.sh.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match what the files do: the scripts archive and extract ~/.openclaw data (optionally including skills). No unrelated credentials, binaries, or system paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and scripts limit actions to user home (~) and the .openclaw tree, create archives and restore them. Minor mismatches: SKILL.md / README claim 'Auto-Install' of OpenClaw but restore.sh only prompts the user and does not auto-install; Windows batch scripts are referenced in docs but are not present in the manifest; the tar size-estimation command produces inaccurate results (it will likely report 0). No instructions attempt to read or transmit unrelated system data.
Install Mechanism
No install spec — instruction-only with small shell scripts. Nothing is downloaded or extracted by the skill itself. The README suggests optional manual install steps (git/curl/npm) but those are standard and not automatically invoked by the provided scripts.
Credentials
No required env vars or credentials. The scripts optionally honor INCLUDE_SKILLS=1 to include installed skills; no other environment variables or secret access is requested or read.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-enabled and does not request elevated persistent privileges. It does not modify other skills or global agent configs. Scripts operate on user-owned files in the home directory only.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install sen-openclaw-backup
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /sen-openclaw-backup
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
