Optimized OpenClaw backup skill for creating full snapshots with workspace archive splitting, change summaries, restore instructions, and Discord notifications. Use when you need to set up or run automated backups, configure backup cron jobs, or document/restore OpenClaw state. Triggers on backup automation, backup scripts, snapshot/restore, or GitHub backup repos.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
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. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Use this skill to install, configure, and run the optimized OpenClaw backup workflow: Full snapshot of ~/.openclaw Workspace archive split into ~90MB parts + SHA256 Rich Discord notification (summary + restore steps) Retention of last N reports
Script: scripts/backup.js (cross-platform) Reference config: references/CONFIG.md
Copy the script into your tools folder: cp scripts/backup.js ~/.openclaw/workspace/tools/openclaw-backup.js Configure env vars (see references/CONFIG.md): macOS/Linux (bash/zsh): export OPENCLAW_HOME="$HOME/.openclaw" export OPENCLAW_BACKUP_DIR="$HOME/.openclaw-backup" export BACKUP_REPO_URL="https://github.com/your/repo.git" export BACKUP_CHANNEL_ID="1234567890" export BACKUP_TZ="America/Sao_Paulo" export BACKUP_MAX_HISTORY=7 Windows (PowerShell): $env:OPENCLAW_HOME="$env:USERPROFILE\.openclaw" $env:OPENCLAW_BACKUP_DIR="$env:USERPROFILE\.openclaw-backup" $env:BACKUP_REPO_URL="https://github.com/your/repo.git" $env:BACKUP_CHANNEL_ID="1234567890" $env:BACKUP_TZ="America/Sao_Paulo" $env:BACKUP_MAX_HISTORY="7" Run once: node ~/.openclaw/workspace/tools/openclaw-backup.js Create cron (OpenClaw cron runs in the gateway environment): openclaw cron add --name "openclaw-backup-daily" \ --cron "0 5,10,15,20 * * *" --tz "America/Sao_Paulo" \ --exec "node ~/.openclaw/workspace/tools/openclaw-backup.js"
Use the restore instructions printed in the backup notification.
Excludes noisy session lock/deleted files for smaller diffs. Requires git and node (>=18). Uses openclaw message send for notifications (no webhook). scripts/openclaw-backup.sh is legacy (Linux/macOS) and will be removed; use backup.js.
Workflow acceleration for inboxes, docs, calendars, planning, and execution loops.
Largest current source with strong distribution and engagement signals.
