DD openclaw-backup
定期备份 OpenClaw 数据（支持手动/自动/加密备份）。Use when user asks to backup OpenClaw, create backup, save state, protect data, or schedule automatic backups. Triggers: "备份", "backup", "保存数据", "定时备份", "加密备份", "backup to cloud".

What is at stake
The skill contains fragments that, in the wrong hands, cost money or data. Below: what the installer risks and what the author should do.
Dangerous commands
If you install
The skill contains commands that delete files, rewrite disks or execute code fetched from the network. The agent may run them without asking if it believes the instructions require it.
For the author
Replace destructive commands with safe equivalents that ask for confirmation, scope them to one folder, and stop piping curl into a shell: pin a version and a checksum.
How to improve
- Address the high-severity findings: each costs 18 safety points. If one is a false positive, add the rule id to guard.allow in spec.yaml.
For the model run — optional
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 46/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (openclaw-backup) differs from the folder (halaoluan-openclaw-backup)
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 19 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2252 tokens
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

External checks
ClawHub: suspicious
This backup skill is mostly purpose-aligned, but it should be reviewed because it handles sensitive OpenClaw data, installs cron persistence, and includes unsafe deletion guidance.
