## What it 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.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cheaper-inference/OmniRoute --skill cli-backup-sync -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/cli-backup-sync/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/cli-backup-sync/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cheaper-inference/OmniRoute --skill cli-backup-sync -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/cli-backup-sync/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cheaper-inference/OmniRoute --skill cli-backup-sync -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/cli-backup-sync/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install cheaper-inference/OmniRoute cli-backup-sync
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/cli-backup-sync/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cheaper-inference/OmniRoute --skill cli-backup-sync -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/cheaper-inference/OmniRoute --path skills/cli-backup-sync
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/cli-backup-sync/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cheaper-inference/OmniRoute --skill cli-backup-sync -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/cheaper-inference/OmniRoute/tree/HEAD/skills/cli-backup-sync/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- 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
- 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
