Clawdbot Backup

If you're running ClawdBot across multiple machines or just want version control over your skills and configs, this handles the backup plumbing so you don't have to write tar commands from memory. It backs up your ~/.claude directory including custom skills, slash commands, MCP configs, and settings, then lets you restore or sync to other devices. The included script gives you timestamped backups, automatic cleanup of old versions, and separate backup types for when you only need skills or settings. Pretty straightforward disaster recovery setup. Works with git for version control if you want to track changes over time, and there's rsync support for keeping multiple dev machines in sync.
