backup-operations

backup-operations is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from allcolor/PawFlow-Agents. It costs 37 tokens per session (625 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Operational instructions for encrypted incremental backups and restores. They explain what data needs backing up, how the passphrase protects it, and what to verify before trusting a restore.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up backups for real data, deciding what does not need backup, protecting the passphrase, and checking that restored data is usable.
Why use it?
They make the main recovery risk clear: losing the backup passphrase permanently prevents recovery because there is no alternate recovery mechanism.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

backup-operations scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Backup operations

Passphrase custody — read this before enabling backups

The backup is encrypted with a key derived from the backup_passphrase secret via scrypt. There is no recovery mechanism if that passphrase is lost in this first version of the package (no wrap_escrow-style second key yet, unlike the multi-wrap design sketched for PawFlow's own encryption-at-rest module). This is the correct guarantee for confidentiality (nobody — including PawFlow or the cloud provider — can decrypt without the passphrase), but it means the backup is the exact same single point of failure as the passphrase itself. Tell the user this in plain terms before they enable nightly-backup for real data, not only in this file: "if you lose this passphrase, the backup becomes permanently unrecoverable, with nothing PawFlow or the cloud provider can do about it." Recommend writing the passphrase down somewhere durable and offline (or sharing it with a second trusted person at the firm) rather than storing it only in one person's head or one password manager entry.

What never needs backing up

Anything already republished as open data by a public source — e.g. the content reachable through the legal-kb MCP (justicelibre.org) if the firm.legal-assistant package is also installed — should never be pointed at by source_path. It is already durably published elsewhere; backing it up here only wastes storage and upload time for zero recovery value.

What to check before trusting a restore

  1. restore_from_backup reports files_restored and files_failed explicitly — do not declare a restore successful without checking files_failed is empty.
  2. A decrypt failure on the manifest itself (wrong passphrase, or destination_root pointing at a backup written by a different passphrase/package) fails loudly with an explicit error rather than silently producing garbage — if you see that error, stop and confirm the passphrase and destination path with the user rather than retrying with guesses.
  3. manifest_timestamp lets you restore an older point in time instead of the latest state — useful when the most recent backup captured a mistake (e.g. a file deleted by accident) that an earlier manifest still references.

backup-operations is a skill published in the GitHub repository allcolor/PawFlow-Agents (25 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 625 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
