Backup agent brain (workspace) and body (state) to local folder and optionally sync to cloud via rclone.
Backup agent brain (workspace) and body (state) to local folder and optionally sync to cloud via rclone.
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.
A robust backup script that: Auto-detects workspace and state directories from OpenClaw config Allows overrides for custom/non-standard setups Compresses & encrypts using GPG (AES256) Prunes old backups (Daily/Hourly retention) Syncs to cloud via rclone (optional)
Dependencies: brew install rclone gnupg jq Password: Set encryption password (choose one): File: ~/.openclaw/credentials/backup.key (recommended) Env: export BACKUP_PASSWORD="secret" Config: Add "password": "secret" to skill config Cloud (Optional): rclone config

By default, paths are auto-detected from ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json: Workspace: agents.defaults.workspace State: ~/.openclaw (where config lives) Backup root: <workspace>/BACKUPS
For non-standard setups, override any path in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json: { "skills": { "entries": { "simple-backup": { "config": { "workspaceDir": "/custom/path/workspace", "stateDir": "/custom/path/state", "skillsDir": "/custom/path/skills", "backupRoot": "/custom/path/backups", "remoteDest": "gdrive:backups" } } } } }
