Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00049 | $0.00429 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00215 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00086 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00043 |
Grade A, and why
openclaw-backup 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 7d 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.
What it actually says
OpenClaw Backup
Backup and restore OpenClaw configuration, credentials, and workspace.
Create Backup
Run the backup script:
./scripts/backup.sh [backup_dir]
Default backup location: ~/openclaw-backups/
Output: openclaw-YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM.tar.gz
What Gets Backed Up
openclaw.json— main configcredentials/— API keys, tokensagents/— agent configs, auth profilesworkspace/— memory, SOUL.md, user filestelegram/— session datacron/— scheduled tasks
Excluded
completions/— cache, regenerated automatically*.log— logs
Setup Daily Backup with Cron
Use OpenClaw cron for daily backups with notification:
{
"name": "daily-backup",
"schedule": {"kind": "cron", "expr": "0 3 * * *", "tz": "UTC"},
"payload": {
"kind": "agentTurn",
"message": "Run ~/.openclaw/backup.sh and report result to user."
},
"sessionTarget": "isolated",
"delivery": {"mode": "announce"}
}
Restore
See references/restore.md for step-by-step restore instructions.
Quick restore:
openclaw gateway stop
mv ~/.openclaw ~/.openclaw-old
tar -xzf ~/openclaw-backups/openclaw-YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM.tar.gz -C ~
openclaw gateway start
Rotation
Script keeps last 7 backups automatically.
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

openclaw-backup is a skill published in the GitHub repository davidtoby/agent-skills (10 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 429 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 2026-08-31.
