Skill: asif2bd/avenger-initiative (version 1.0.5)

--- name: avenger-initiative description: Encrypted GitHub backup and restore for any OpenClaw agent system. Creates branch-per-night backups with smart retention (7 daily, 8 weekly, 12 monthly branches). Backs up openclaw.json (AES-256 encrypted), agent memories, SOUL/IDENTITY files, cron jobs, and custom skills to a private GitHub vault. Triggers on phrases like "avenger backup", "backup system", "push to vault", "sync vault", "avenger restore", "restore from vault", "setup avenger", "avenger status", "avenger init", "configure backup", "set up backup". Also auto-runs after any critical config change. version: 1.0.5 author: Matrix Zion (ProSkillsMD) homepage: https://missiondeck.ai license: MIT tags: [backup, restore, encryption, github, security, devops] openclaw: ">=2026.2" --- # 🛡️ Avenger Initiative Encrypted, branch-based GitHub backup and restore for any OpenClaw system. ## When This Skill Triggers 1. User says "setup avenger" / "configure backup" / "avenger init" → **Run SETUP flow** 2. User says "avenger backup" / "backup system" / "push to vault" → **Run BACKUP** 3. User says "restore from vault" / "avenger restore" → **Run RESTORE flow** 4. User says "avenger status" / "vault status" → **Show STATUS** 5. After any confirmed config change (gateway restart, config patch) → **Run BACKUP silently** --- ## SETUP FLOW (Agent-Guided) When setup is triggered, **walk the user through it conversationally**. Ask one question at a time. ### Step 1 — Ask for the vault repo > "To set up Avenger Initiative, I need a private GitHub repo to use as your vault. Have you created one already? If so, share the URL (e.g. `https://github.com/yourname/my-vault`). If not, I can help you create one." ### Step 2 — Handle the encryption key > "Your `openclaw.json` (which contains all API keys and bot tokens) will be encrypted with AES-256 before being pushed. Do you have an existing encryption key from a previous Avenger setup, or should I generate a new one?" ### Step 3 — Run setup ```bash bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/avenger-initiative/scripts/setup.sh \ --repo <vault-url> ``` ### Step 4 — Show key and insist they save it > "⚠️ **Your encryption key is below — save it NOW in 1Password, Bitwarden, or a secure note.** > Without this key, your backup cannot be decrypted." Wait for user to confirm "saved" before proceeding. ### Step 5 — Explain what will be backed up - 🔐 `openclaw.json` — encrypted (all API keys, bot tokens, agent configs) - 🧠 All memory logs and workspace files (SOUL, IDENTITY, MEMORY, TOOLS) - 👥 Per-agent files for all agents - 🔧 All custom skills - 📋 Cron job definitions **Retention policy:** - Daily → 7 days - Weekly → 8 weeks (created every Sunday) - Monthly → 12 months (created 1st of each month) ### Step 6 — Run first backup & install cron ```bash bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/avenger-initiative/scripts/backup.sh ``` --- ## BACKUP ```bash bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/avenger-initiative/scripts/backup.sh ``` Creates `backup/daily/YYYY-MM-DD` branch → merges to `main` → prunes per retention policy. On Sundays: also creates `backup/weekly/YYYY-WNN`. On 1st of month: also creates `backup/monthly/YYYY-MM`. --- ## RESTORE ```bash bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/avenger-initiative/scripts/restore.sh ``` Supports `--branch backup/daily/YYYY-MM-DD` to restore from a specific snapshot. Shows vault manifest, asks for confirmation, decrypts and restores all files. After restore: `openclaw gateway restart` --- ## STATUS Check `~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/avenger-backup.log` for last backup. Show timestamp, branch, and vault URL. --- ## File Locations ``` ~/.openclaw/ ├── credentials/ │ ├── avenger.key ← Encryption key (NEVER commit) │ └── avenger-config.json ← Vault repo URL └── workspace/skills/avenger-initiative/ ├── SKILL.md ├── scripts/ │ ├── backup.sh │ ├── restore.sh │ └── setup.sh └── references/ └── security.md ``` --- ## Security Model - Vault repo should be **private** on GitHub - `openclaw.json` → AES-256-CBC encrypted (PBKDF2, 100k iterations) - All other files → plaintext (no secrets) - Key lives only on the machine and in the user's password manager See `references/security.md` for threat model and key rotation. --- *More verified OpenClaw skills available at [proskills.md](https://proskills.md)*

path: CHANGELOG.md
content: ## v1.0.5 — 2026-03-19
### Fixed
- **Clone auth fix** (`backup.sh`, `restore.sh`): Replaced manual `GH_TOKEN` URL injection with `gh repo clone`. Fixes credential prompt failures on systems with git credential helpers.

# Changelog — Avenger Initiative

## v1.0.1 — 2026-03-19
### Fixed
- **Clone auth fix** (`backup.sh`, `restore.sh`): Replaced manual `GH_TOKEN` URL injection (`git clone https://$TOKEN@...`) with `gh repo clone`. The old method failed when git's credential helper intercepted the URL or stripped the token — common on systems with a configured credential store. `gh repo clone` uses the gh auth layer directly and is always reliable for private repos.

## v1.0.0 — 2026-03-13
### Initial Release
- Encrypted nightly backup to private GitHub vault (AES-256-CBC, PBKDF2)
- Branch-per-night strategy: daily (7), weekly (8), monthly (12) retention
- Backs up: `openclaw.json` (encrypted), SOUL/IDENTITY/MEMORY files, cron jobs, custom skills, agent workspaces
- `backup.sh`, `restore.sh`, `setup.sh` scripts
- Nightly cron at 02:00 UTC via OpenClaw cron system
- Trigger phrases: "avenger backup", "restore from vault", "avenger setup", etc.

## Why AV Tools May Flag This

Security scanning tools sometimes flag backup scripts due to:

1. openssl enc  — standard file encryption. Used ONLY to encrypt the
   user's own openclaw.json before pushing to their own private repo.
   No data is sent anywhere except the user's own GitHub vault.

2. gh repo clone / git push — standard Git operations. Pushes ONLY to
   the user's own private GitHub repository configured during setup.

3. Credential file reads — reads ~/.openclaw/credentials/avenger.key
   (a local file the USER created). Never reads API keys or tokens.
   Never sends credentials anywhere.

4. Shell scripts with chmod — setup.sh makes backup.sh executable.
   Standard installation pattern.

## What These Scripts NEVER Do

  ✗ No eval / exec / compile of dynamic code
  ✗ No downloading of additional executables
  ✗ No exfiltration of user data to third parties
  ✗ No cryptocurrency mining
  ✗ No keylogging or screen capture
  ✗ No privilege escalation
  ✗ No modification of system files outside ~/.openclaw/
  ✗ No reading of browser cookies, passwords, or other credentials

## v3.1 — 2026-03-19
### Fixed
- **Clone auth fix**: Replaced manual `GH_TOKEN` URL injection (`git clone https://$TOKEN@...`) with `gh repo clone` in both `backup.sh` and `restore.sh`. The old method failed silently when git's credential helper intercepted the URL or on systems where private repo auth via token-in-URL is blocked. `gh repo clone` uses the gh auth system directly and is always reliable.
