What specifically does this skill back up?

The skill backs up the 'commands/', 'skills/', and 'agents/' directories located in your ~/.claude/ folder, which contain your custom-defined behaviors and tools.

Does it support incremental updates?

Yes, the skill utilizes rsync when available, which efficiently updates only the files that have changed rather than recopying everything.

Can I choose a custom backup location?

Yes. While it defaults to your current working directory, the skill will always prompt you to confirm the target path or specify a new one before proceeding.

Can I backup only my custom commands and skip the rest?

Absolutely. The skill features an interactive prompt that allows you to select exactly which directories (commands, skills, or agents) you want to include in the backup.
