backup-skill

backup-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from modimihir07/agentic-os. It costs 9 tokens per session (194 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A backup routine that creates compressed, timestamped archives of the system's working folders while leaving out a file that contains API keys. It supports scheduled and manual backups and retains the newest 30 archives.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before major changes, on a daily schedule, or on demand to archive brain data, skills, agents, registries, standards, and related prompts.
Why use it?
It protects project context and configuration from accidental loss while reducing the risk of copying secret credentials into a backup.

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-skill 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 5d 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

Backup Skill

Description

Creates compressed backup snapshots of brain/, skills/, registry/, standards/, and agents/. Supports scheduled auto-backup and manual on-demand backups.

When to Use

  • Daily scheduled backup
  • Before making major changes
  • On-demand from dashboard

Process

  1. Create tar.gz of brain/, skills/, agents/, registry/, standards/, prompts/
  2. Exclude data/settings.json (contains API keys)
  3. Name file with timestamp: agentic-os-YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.tar.gz
  4. Store in backups/ directory
  5. Keep last 30 backups, remove older ones
  6. Log to audit trail

Output

Compressed archive file

Agent Assignment

  • Primary: opencode
Files

What ships with it

3 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.

Changes

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.
