BB implementing-immutable-backup-with-restic

Implements ransomware-resistant backups using restic with S3-compatible Object Lock (AWS S3, MinIO, Backblaze B2), automating backup creation, integrity checks via restic check --read-data, retention enforcement, and restore testing. Use when building immutable backup infrastructure, adding a WORM copy to a 3-2-1-1-0 strategy, or automating scheduled backup-verification workflows.

How to improve

    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 65/100

    • 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
    • 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check
    • 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (python) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
    • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
    • 100Steps. 14 steps
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 827 tokens
    • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress

    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.
