What it does

> Built on [MyClaw.ai](https://myclaw.ai) — the AI personal assistant platform that gives every user a full server with complete code control, networking, and tool access. This skill is part of the MyClaw.ai open skills ecosystem.

When your AI uses it

Use when the user wants to create a snapshot of their OpenClaw instance, schedule periodic backups, restore from a backup, migrate to a new…

You don’t need to name it. Ask for the job in your own words — your AI loads the skill when the request matches.

What it can touch

  • Includes 5 scripts

    Your AI can run these when the skill is used — on your computer in a coding tool (which asks first unless you have told it not to), or in the AI’s own sandbox in Claude and ChatGPT.

    How we know

    Found in the skill’s folder: scripts/backup.sh, scripts/restore.sh, scripts/schedule.sh, scripts/serve.sh…; binary files: openclaw-backup.skill.

  • Mentions an outside service

    The instructions point your AI at these sites or APIs. Anything it sends there leaves your computer.

    How we know

    Web addresses in the SKILL.md, excluding GitHub and documentation sites: myclaw.ai.

  • Uses terminal commands

    It shows your AI commands to run. In a coding agent that means your terminal; in a chat app it usually can’t.

    How we know

    The SKILL.md contains shell code blocks.

  • Its code sends data over the internet

    A script in it uploads or posts data. That is normal for a skill that talks to a service — check that the address is the service you expect.

    How we know

    scripts/ui.html line 99 (and 2 more in that file): “const r = await fetch('/backup', { method: 'POST', headers });”. Read 2026-10-04, commit a05a80d.

  • 3 smaller things worth knowing

    Contains commands that delete or overwrite; Sets itself up to run again automatically later. Usually legitimate — listed so nothing is hidden.

    How we know

  • Partly checked

    Launch7’s check could not read everything in this skill: 1 compiled program file it cannot read. Nothing is known about the parts it skipped.

    How we know

    18 text files read; skipped files are listed by name only. Read 2026-10-04, commit a05a80d.

  • Updated this year

    Its repository has had changes recently.

    How we know

    Last push to LeoYeAI/openclaw-backup: 2026-03-03 (215 days before the scan).

Read automatically from the skill’s own files on GitHub on 4 Oct 2026. Launch7 does not run or manually review skills: this lists what the check saw, and nothing here means “safe”. How we check

Add it to your AI

Partly. Upload it in Claude’s settings — the instructions work; the scripts need the full folder.

  1. Built in your browser from the SKILL.md on GitHub — nothing passes through Launch7.

  2. In Claude, open Customize → Skills, press +, then Create skill → Upload a skill, and choose the .zip.

  3. Make sure code execution is switched on (Settings → Capabilities). Skills need it.

  4. Start a new chat and ask for the job in your own words — Claude picks the skill up when it fits.

This skill ships 5 scripts beside its instructions. The download here is the SKILL.md alone — enough for the instructions, not for the parts that run code. Use the command route, or take the full folder from the repository.
