CORE-BACKUP-SKILL

Back up your CORE skill by executing the backup function, which creates timestamped archives of skills, history, and configuration across private/public repositories and local directories. This preserves your CORE in case the primary is altered, enabling disaster recovery and versioned restore without data loss.

A CORE skill backup captures skills, history, configuration, and metadata across development, staging, and production workflows. It handles sensitive information securely, maintains strict separation between private and public data, and stores archival under backup history with deterministic naming.

Yes, the backup skill supports both scheduled and on-demand backups. It integrates with existing hook and CLI tooling, allowing you to automate backups across repositories and core skill trees while maintaining deterministic naming and timestamped archival.

Compare your active CORE SKILL.md with a backup copy to cross-check the canonical structure and ensure consistency. This quick reference catches unintended alterations and serves as a baseline for canonical principles.

Backup supports development, staging, and production workflows with use-cases including disaster recovery, versioned restore, and meta-update safety. It covers both scheduled backups and on-demand snapshots across private/public repositories and local history directories.
