Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.

  1. Download the package from Yavira.
  2. Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
  3. Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install

I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.

Upgrade existing

I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

Backup Automation Skill

Automated backup system for OpenClaw workspaces with database, NAS, and GitHub integration.

What It Does

This skill provides automated hourly backups: Database backup to SQLite NAS sync via rsync Git commit + push to GitHub for version control Perfect for maintaining workspace continuity and disaster recovery.

1. Configure NAS Target (Optional)

Edit backup-nas.sh to set your NAS mount point: NAS_PATH="/path/to/your/nas/backup" If you don't use NAS, the script will skip that step gracefully.

2. Set Up Cron Job

Add to your crontab for hourly backups: 0 * * * * cd /path/to/workspace && node scripts/backup-db.js; bash scripts/backup-nas.sh; git add -A && git commit -m "Hourly backup: $(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M %Z')" && git push origin main OR use OpenClaw's built-in cron: openclaw cron add --schedule "0 * * * *" --task "Hourly workspace backup" --command "cd /path/to/workspace && node scripts/backup-db.js && bash scripts/backup-nas.sh && git add -A && git commit -m 'Auto backup' && git push"

3. GitHub Authentication

Ensure you have: Git configured with your credentials GitHub SSH key added (or HTTPS token set) Remote origin configured: git remote -v

Manual Backup

cd /path/to/your/workspace node backup-db.js bash backup-nas.sh git add -A && git commit -m "Manual backup" && git push

Check Backup Status

# Check last backup commit git log --oneline -1 # Check database backup ls -lh workspace.db* # Check NAS sync ls -lh /your/nas/path/

Files

backup-db.js - Node.js script for database backup backup-nas.sh - Bash script for NAS rsync skill.json - Skill metadata SKILL.md - This file (usage guide) README.md - Overview

Requirements

Node.js 18+ (for backup-db.js) Git (for version control) rsync (for NAS sync, optional) GitHub repository (for remote storage)

Change Backup Frequency

Edit the cron schedule: Every hour: 0 * * * * Every 30 min: */30 * * * * Every 6 hours: 0 */6 * * * Daily at 3am: 0 3 * * *

Add Custom Backup Logic

Extend backup-db.js with additional backup targets: // Add S3 sync, Dropbox upload, etc.

Backup Retention

To limit backup history in Git: # Squash old commits periodically git rebase -i HEAD~100

Troubleshooting

Backup not running: Check cron logs: tail -f /var/log/cron Verify script permissions: chmod +x backup-nas.sh Git push fails: Verify SSH key: ssh -T git@github.com Check remote: git remote -v NAS sync issues: Test rsync manually: rsync -av /source /destination Check mount: mount | grep nas

Security Notes

Database backups may contain sensitive data Ensure your GitHub repo is private if storing sensitive info NAS should be on a secure network (Tailscale/VPN recommended) Consider encryption for sensitive backups
