Dotfiles
Backup, sync, and version-track dotfiles across multiple machines. Use when syncing configs, backing up settings, restoring on new machines.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bytesagain1/dotfilesDotfiles
Sysops toolkit for scanning, monitoring, reporting, and maintaining system configurations. Track changes, create backups, run benchmarks, and keep your environment healthy — all from the command line.

Data Storage
All data is stored in ~/.local/share/dotfiles/:
- Per-command logs —
scan.log,monitor.log,report.log,alert.log,top.log,usage.log,check.log,fix.log,cleanup.log,backup.log,restore.log,log.log,benchmark.log,compare.log - Activity history —
history.log(unified timeline of all actions) - Exports —
export.json,export.csv, orexport.txt(generated on demand)
Data format: each entry is stored as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM|<value>, pipe-delimited for easy parsing.
Requirements
- Bash 4+ with
set -euo pipefail - Standard POSIX utilities (
date,wc,du,head,tail,grep,cut,basename) - No external dependencies or API keys required
When to Use
- System configuration auditing — scan and record the state of config files across machines, track drift over time
- Incident response logging — use
alert,fix, andlogto maintain a structured timeline during outages or issues - Backup and restore tracking — log every backup and restore event to maintain an audit trail for compliance
- Performance benchmarking — record benchmark results over time and compare configurations side by side
- Daily ops monitoring — capture usage metrics, run health checks, and clean up stale resources on a regular schedule
