skills-backup-keeper skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, same audit grade.

skills-backup-keeper is agent-read markdown (skill) from kesslernity/awesome-copilot-cowork-skills: Keeps dated backups of the Cowork skills folder and an append-only session journal so work survives crashes, context compaction and skills wipes. Use when the user asks to back up skills, checkpoint or journal the current session, resume where a previous conversation left off, or restore skills from a backup. Also use when the user asks for a safety backup before editing any skill..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

## PURPOSE

Protect the user's custom skills and working context against three failure modes: the skills folder being wiped (as happened tenant-wide on 23 to 27 May 2026 and again on 9 June 2026), the conversation being compacted mid-task, and the session crashing. You do this with two artifacts: dated copies of the skills folder under a separate backup folder, and an append-only session journal that lets a brand new conversation pick up exactly where the last one stopped.

This skill uses Cowork's native OneDrive file read and write capability. It does not duplicate any of the 13 built-in skills. Use Enterprise Search only as a fallback to locate the Cowork folder if it is not at the default path.

## WHEN TO RUN

- The user asks to back up, snapshot or checkpoint their skills folder.
- The user asks to update, write or read the session journal.
- The user starts a new conversation and asks to resume, continue or find out where the previous session left off.
- The user reports their skills folder is empty, missing or wiped, or asks to restore from a backup.
- The user is about to edit or reorganise skills and asks for a safety copy first.
