cli-backup-sync — Claude Code skill: Anthropic backups
A skill for driving Anthropic backups from the terminal: incremental snapshots, cloud sync, schedules and restore from archive files.
npx skills add cheaper-inference/OmniRoute --skill cli-backup-sync -a claude-codeWhat cli-backup-sync does
The skill hands your agent a map of the Anthropic CLI commands that deal with backups. Through it you can fire a one-off snapshot, check the status of recent copies, turn a schedule on or off, and restore from an archive by id.
Under the hood it covers the omniroute backup and omniroute sync subcommands. backup create takes --name, --cloud, --encrypt, --key-file, --exclude and --retention; backup enable takes --cron, --cloud, --encrypt and --retention. Restores go through omniroute backup restore [backupId], and --list shows what is available. For sync there is sync push, sync pull [outPath], sync bundle <outPath>, sync import <bundlePath> with --dry-run, plus token handling via sync tokens, sync create and sync revoke <id>.
The CLI itself is a separate install: npm install -g omniroute, or run it with npx omniroute. Without that package the skill has nothing to call, since every command shells out to omniroute. A restore overwrites data, so run omniroute backup restore --list first and confirm you picked the right snapshot.
What it helps with
- take an incremental backup of Anthropic data with one command
- set up automatic snapshots on a cron schedule
- push an archive to cloud storage and encrypt it with a key file
- restore state from a specific archive by id
- issue a sync token with a limited lifetime for another machine
Example prompts for the agent
- Back up Anthropic with encryption and upload it to the cloud
- Show the status of recent backups and list the available archives
- Restore from an archive, but list the copies first
