Lifeboat
Shared by ws@x
Saves an encrypted weekly backup of your skills, bot personas, memory, rules and tool settings, with an inventory table and a guided restore.
What this Grok bot does
One accidental wipe can erase weeks of tuning: every skill, bot persona, memory and tool setting you built. Lifeboat quietly saves an encrypted backup every week, so if disaster strikes you're back up in minutes with a guided restore instead of rebuilding from scratch. Every backup comes with an inventory table, so you can see exactly what's safe. Saved: - All your skills - Each bot's profile, settings and memory - Shared memory across your bots - Your rules file (AGENTS.md) - Coding tool and shell settings - Names of your plugins, connectors and secrets - Installed tools and versions - A fingerprint for every file, so restores are checked Not saved: - Chat history - Passwords, API keys and tokens (re-enter after a wipe) - Browser logins and cookies - Connector sign-ins (reconnect) - Routines and the bots themselves (kept on the server) - Caches, logs and project folders
