What it does

Convex Backup is an agent skill from openclaw/clawhub. Set up Convex backups and run a restore DRILL that proves recovery — snapshot, restore into a throwaway preview, assert the data came back — plus a schedule matched to your RPO and a gated recovery runbook.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Backup and disaster recovery and Runbooks and postmortems. The repository describes itself as: Skill + Plugin Registry for OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Backup and disaster recovery
  • Tasks that involve Runbooks and postmortems

Example prompts

  • “/convex-backup”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. GUARD: deploy-guard — classify + announce the deployment being backed up (reading/exporting is safe; the drill's restore target is a…
  2. TAKE the snapshot: npx convex export --path backup-.zip (add --include-file-storage if the app stores files). This is the backup artifact…
  3. SCHEDULE it (the ongoing half): recommend a cadence matched to how fast the data changes and how much loss is tolerable (RPO) — e.g. a…
  4. RESTORE DRILL (the half almost nobody does — this is the point)
  5. REPORT the drill result plainly: what was backed up, that the restore was ACTUALLY performed and verified (or that it FAILED and why — a…
  6. HYGIENE: delete local snapshot copies when done (real data); the drill preview auto-expires. Never commit a backup file.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d044664. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Convex Backup loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 568 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Back up — and prove the restore works

Every backup story has two halves and most people only do the first: taking the backup, and proving you can get it back. This capability does both — it sets up regular snapshot exports and then runs a RESTORE DRILL that actually recovers the data into a disposable preview and asserts it's intact. The drill reuses migrate-rehearse's exact primitives (snapshot export → preview deploy → snapshot import) pointed at recovery instead of a forward change, so the safety net is tested, not assumed.

Workflow

  1. GUARD: deploy-guard — classify + announce the deployment being backed up (reading/exporting is safe; the drill's restore target is a throwaway preview, never prod).
  2. TAKE the snapshot: npx convex export --path backup-<date>.zip (add --include-file-storage if the app stores files). This is the backup artifact; treat it as sensitive real data.
  3. SCHEDULE it (the ongoing half): recommend a cadence matched to how fast the data changes and how much loss is tolerable (RPO) — e.g. a daily npx convex export via CI/cron to durable storage the user controls, with a retention window. Convex's own platform backups exist; this adds a user-owned, portable copy.
  4. RESTORE DRILL (the half almost nobody does — this is the point): (a) PRECONDITION: a Preview Deploy Key as CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY (same requirement as migrate-rehearse; a paid-tier feature). If unavailable, drill against a fresh personal dev deployment instead and say so. (b) create a throwaway preview from the CURRENT code: npx convex deploy --preview-create restore-drill-<date>. (c) restore the snapshot into it: npx convex import backup-<date>.zip --deployment restore-drill-<date> --replace (import targets a deployment by NAME with --deployment; there is no --preview-name on import). (d) ASSERT recovery: read the restored data back (MCP tables for row counts, data/runOneoffQuery for spot-checks) and confirm the critical tables came back with the expected row counts and a sample of real records — a restore that 'succeeds' but lands 0 rows is a FAILED drill. Compare against the source's counts where available.
  5. REPORT the drill result plainly: what was backed up, that the restore was ACTUALLY performed and verified (or that it FAILED and why — a failed drill is the most valuable output, found before a real disaster), the recommended schedule + retention, and the recovery runbook (the exact commands to restore to prod: npx convex import backup.zip --replace --prod, gated by deploy-guard, with the post-snapshot-write-loss caveat stated).
  6. HYGIENE: delete local snapshot copies when done (real data); the drill preview auto-expires. Never commit a backup file.

Rules

  • A backup you have never restored is a hope, not a backup — always run (or offer to run) the restore DRILL, don't just take the export.
  • The drill restores into a THROWAWAY preview (or dev), never prod; the restore target and the backup source are different deployments.
  • Assert recovery, don't assume it: a restore that lands 0 rows is a FAILED drill — check critical-table row counts + a real-record sample against the source.
  • A FAILED drill is the most valuable output — surface it loudly; that's the whole reason to drill before a real disaster.
  • Schedule matched to RPO (how much data loss is tolerable); keep a user-owned portable copy alongside Convex's platform backups, with a retention window.
  • Snapshots are sensitive real data: delete local copies when done, never commit them; the restore-to-prod runbook is deploy-guard-gated with the post-snapshot-write-loss caveat stated.
  • Shares migrate-rehearse's snapshot+preview mechanics but aims them at RECOVERY, not a forward change — a forward schema change is migrate-rehearse.
