graph-backup

A tool that exports a graph-based memory store to a timestamped JSONL backup file. JSONL stores one JSON record per line.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to back up the memory graph, including its nodes and relationships, on demand or before pruning.
Why use it?
It gives you a recoverable copy before risky changes and reports whether older backups were removed.

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

graph-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 2d 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

Graph Backup

Export the memory graph to a backup file.

Steps

  1. Call graph_export with no arguments (or pass label for a named backup, e.g. label: "pre-prune").

  2. Report the result to the user:

    • Backup file path
    • Node and edge counts
    • File size
    • How many old backups were pruned
    • How many are retained
  3. If the export fails, report the error clearly and suggest checking whether the Docker container is running (docker ps).

Example output

Backup complete:
  File: /root/graph-memory/backups/backup-2026-05-05T22-00-00.jsonl
  297 nodes, 418 edges
  42 KB
  Retained: 7 backups, pruned: 0
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.

graph-backup is a skill published in the GitHub repository stevepridemore/graph-memory (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 226 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
