80 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Set up automatic vault backups to a synced folder or a cloud provider, with verified archives and tiered retention. Use when the user says 'back up my vault', 'set up backups', 'where are my backups going', or asks about losing their notes. Not for restoring or testing a restore (`backup-restore`); not for a one-off backup right now (`backup-now`).

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'backup-setup' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'backup-setup' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named backup-setup already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/davekilleen/Dex' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd759c3a0e91e617d1bd879dc449d6d61681b90fb' -- '.agents/skills/backup-setup' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.agents/skills/backup-setup' ~/.agents/skills/'backup-setup' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'backup-setup' ~/.claude/skills/'backup-setup' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
