Prevents data loss from /new resets with hourly incremental snapshots. ### Features Incremental backups: Hourly snapshots of new messages only (no duplication) Chat formatting: Obsidian callouts with emojis, timestamps, proper multi-paragraph support Hourly breakdowns: Organize conversations by clock hour for easy reference Zero token cost: Pure shell scripting, no LLM calls Smart filtering: Skips empty messages and system notifications ### Installation # Extract the skill (if downloaded as .skill file) unzip obsidian-conversation-backup.skill cd obsidian-conversation-backup # Run installer (interactive) chmod +x install.sh ./install.sh The installer will ask for: Obsidian vault path Session directory location Tracking files location Or manual setup: Copy config.example to config Edit config with your paths Make scripts executable: chmod +x scripts/*.sh ### Enable Automatic Backups Add to crontab for hourly backups: crontab -e # Add this line (runs every hour at :00) 0 * * * * /path/to/obsidian-conversation-backup/scripts/monitor_and_save.sh ### Customize Chat Appearance (Optional) Edit scripts/format_message_v2.jq to change: User emoji (default: ๐Ÿ‰) Assistant emoji (default: ๐Ÿฆž) Callout types (default: [!quote] for user, [!check] for assistant) ### Automatic Incremental Backups Once configured in cron, the system runs automatically: Every hour: Checks for new messages (โ‰ฅ10 lines) Creates incremental snapshot if found Saves to: YYYY-MM-DD-HHmm-incremental.md Skips if no new conversation Example output: 2026-01-20-1500-incremental.md (messages from last save to now) 2026-01-20-1600-incremental.md (new messages since 15:00) 2026-01-20-1700-incremental.md (new messages since 16:00) Protection: Max conversation loss = 1 hour ### On-Demand Full Snapshot Save complete conversation anytime: scripts/save_full_snapshot.sh [topic-name] Examples: scripts/save_full_snapshot.sh important-decisions scripts/save_full_snapshot.sh bug-fix-discussion scripts/save_full_snapshot.sh # uses "full-conversation" as default ### Hourly Breakdown (Organization) Create organized breakdown by clock hour: scripts/create_hourly_snapshots.sh YYYY-MM-DD Example: scripts/create_hourly_snapshots.sh 2026-01-20 Output: 2026-01-20-1500-hourly.md (15:00-15:59 messages) 2026-01-20-1600-hourly.md (16:00-16:59 messages) 2026-01-20-1700-hourly.md (17:00-17:59 messages) Use case: End-of-day organization for easy reference ### Chat Format Messages appear as colored Obsidian callouts: User messages (blue [!quote] callout): > [!quote] ๐Ÿ‰ User ยท 15:30 > This is my message Assistant messages (green [!check] callout): > [!check] ๐Ÿฆž Zoidbot ยท 15:31 > This is the response Features: Timestamps (HH:MM format) Multi-paragraph support (uses

for paragraph breaks) Proper line wrapping (all lines prefixed with > ) Empty messages filtered out System notifications excluded ### Token Monitoring The monitor_and_save.sh script also tracks token usage: Warnings via Telegram: 800k tokens (80%): "Consider /new soon" 900k tokens (90%): "Run /new NOW" Implementation: # Sends warning only when crossing threshold (one-time) # No repeated warnings # Resets when back under 800k ### File Structure scripts/ โ”œโ”€โ”€ monitor_and_save.sh # Hourly incremental backup + token monitoring โ”œโ”€โ”€ save_full_snapshot.sh # On-demand full conversation save โ”œโ”€โ”€ create_hourly_snapshots.sh # Organize by clock hour โ””โ”€โ”€ format_message_v2.jq # Chat formatting logic ### Tracking Files The system uses hidden files to track state: /root/clawd/.last_save_line_count # For token monitoring /root/clawd/.last_snapshot_timestamp # For incremental saves /root/clawd/.token_warning_sent # For warning deduplication Note: Do not delete these files or incremental backups may duplicate content ### Session File Location Default: /root/.clawdbot/agents/main/sessions/*.jsonl If your session files are elsewhere, update the SESSION_FILE path in each script. ### No snapshots being created Check cron is running: crontab -l Verify script has execute permission: chmod +x scripts/*.sh Check logs: Run manually to see errors ### Messages breaking out of callouts Ensure format_message_v2.jq has the gsub("\\n\\n"; "

") line Check that all lines have > prefix Verify jq is installed: jq --version ### Duplicated content in snapshots Delete tracking files and let system reset: rm /root/clawd/.last_snapshot_timestamp ### Empty callout boxes appearing Update format_message_v2.jq to filter empty messages Check for the if ($text_content | length) > 0 condition ### Requirements jq: JSON parsing (apt-get install jq) cron: For automatic backups Obsidian vault: Target directory for markdown files ### Change Backup Frequency Edit crontab: # Every 2 hours 0 */2 * * * /path/to/monitor_and_save.sh # Every 30 minutes */30 * * * * /path/to/monitor_and_save.sh # Specific times only (9am, 12pm, 6pm, 9pm) 0 9,12,18,21 * * * /path/to/monitor_and_save.sh ### Change Minimum Message Threshold Edit monitor_and_save.sh: # Change from 10 to 5 messages minimum if [[ $new_lines -lt 5 ]]; then ### Add More Callout Styles Obsidian callout types: [!quote] - Blue [!check] - Green [!note] - Cyan [!tip] - Purple [!warning] - Orange [!danger] - Red ### Customize Telegram Notifications Edit monitor_and_save.sh to change warning text or add custom notifications. ### Best Practices Run hourly breakdown at end of day - Use as organizational tool, not backup Keep incremental backups running - This is your safety net Test scripts after setup - Run manually first to verify output Backup tracking files - Include .last_snapshot_timestamp in vault backups Use descriptive topic names - For full snapshots, use meaningful names ### Example Workflow Daily routine: Automatic incremental backups run hourly (no action needed) At end of day: scripts/create_hourly_snapshots.sh 2026-01-20 Review organized hourly files in Obsidian Delete old incrementals if desired (hourly breakdown covers them) Before /new reset: Optional: scripts/save_full_snapshot.sh before-reset Run /new safely - conversation is backed up Continue chatting - incrementals resume automatically ### Integration with Clawdbot This skill works with: HEARTBEAT.md: Automatic token monitoring MEMORY.md: Conversation archival system Telegram integration: Warning notifications Any Obsidian vault: Works with existing vaults ### Credits Created by the Clawdbot community for reliable conversation backup and beautiful Obsidian formatting. ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: Laserducktales - Version: 1.0.0 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Source download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this source. - Health scope: source - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-04-23T16:43:11.935Z - Expires at: 2026-04-30T16:43:11.935Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/obsidian-conversation-backup) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/obsidian-conversation-backup/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/obsidian-conversation-backup/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/obsidian-conversation-backup/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/obsidian-conversation-backup)
