Provides automatic checkpoint creation and rollback to safely recover from failures during risky operations like config changes or updates.
Provides automatic checkpoint creation and rollback to safely recover from failures during risky operations like config changes or updates.
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.
Provides checkpoint/rollback safety net for risky operations.
Before modifying config, installing skills, or updating the gateway, create a checkpoint: const rescueclaw = require('./rescueclaw-checkpoint'); await rescueclaw.createCheckpoint('About to apply config changes'); RescueClaw will take an immediate backup. If the agent goes unresponsive within the rollback window, it auto-restores.
Clear the checkpoint: const rescueclaw = require('./rescueclaw-checkpoint'); await rescueclaw.clearCheckpoint();
The agent can also invoke RescueClaw CLI directly: rescueclaw backup β manual snapshot rescueclaw status β check health rescueclaw list β list backups
The daemon binary is bundled for supported platforms (linux/arm64). On install, it copies to ~/.local/bin/rescueclaw. For other platforms, download from GitHub Releases. Data is stored in ~/.openclaw/rescueclaw/ (user-local, no sudo required).
Creates a checkpoint file that RescueClaw monitors. If the agent becomes unresponsive within the rollback window, RescueClaw will immediately restore from the checkpoint backup. Parameters: reason (string): Description of what operation is about to be performed rollbackWindowSec (number, optional): How many seconds to monitor for issues (default: 300) Returns: Promise<void>
Removes the checkpoint file, signaling that the risky operation completed successfully. Returns: Promise<void>
Gets RescueClaw daemon status by invoking the CLI. Returns: Promise<object> with health status details
const fs = require('fs'); const rescueclaw = require('./rescueclaw-checkpoint'); async function updateConfig(newConfig) { // Create safety checkpoint await rescueclaw.createCheckpoint('Updating OpenClaw config', 180); try { // Perform the risky operation fs.writeFileSync('~/.openclaw/openclaw.json', JSON.stringify(newConfig)); // Restart gateway await exec('systemctl restart openclaw-gateway'); // If we get here, it worked! await rescueclaw.clearCheckpoint(); console.log('β Config updated successfully'); } catch (err) { console.error('β Config update failed:', err); // Don't clear checkpoint - let RescueClaw auto-restore } }
Agent frameworks, memory systems, reasoning layers, and model-native orchestration.
Largest current source with strong distribution and engagement signals.
