Overview
About This Skill
claude-backup is a personal repository used to store and back up Claude Code skills and plugins. It serves as a private archive so that custom configurations, commands, and agent skills are not lost and can be restored or reused across environments. This type of backup repository benefits developers who rely on Claude Code and want to preserve their curated tooling. By keeping skills version-controlled in one place, users can more easily manage and redeploy their Claude Code setup.
How to Use
["1. **Identify your skill configuration**: Run `claude list-skills` to find the exact name of the skill you want to back up. Note the skill name and any associated project name.","2. **Prepare your backup filename**: Decide on a descriptive filename following the pattern `[SKILL_NAME]_v[VERSION]_[DATE].json` (e.g., `sortd-pipeline-tracker_v1.3.0_2024-03-22.json`).","3. **Execute the backup command**: Paste the prompt template into your AI assistant, replacing the placeholders with your actual skill name, project name, and desired filename.","4. **Verify the backup**: Check the output to confirm the JSON file was created correctly. The AI will show the full file path where your backup was saved.","5. **Store securely**: Move the generated JSON file to your secure backup location (e.g., cloud storage, version control system) for future restoration if needed.","Tips:\n- For complex skills, consider backing up multiple times during configuration changes\n- Include the skill version in the filename for easy version tracking\n- Add backup_notes in the JSON to document important changes for future reference"]
