ClawClone is an AI agent backup and restoration system for OpenClaw (Windsurf IDE's AI assistant). It preserves your SOUL.md, memory files, and agent configuration so you can restore your exact AI setup on any machine in seconds.

How do I back up my OpenClaw agent?

Sign in to ClawClone, copy the generated backup prompt, and paste it into your OpenClaw session. The agent automatically packs your md files and configuration and uploads them to the cloud — no CLI setup required.

How do I restore my OpenClaw on a new machine?

Set your API key with `export CLAWCLONE_API_KEY="your_key"`, then either paste the restore prompt into an OpenClaw session or run `npx clawclone restore --clone-id ` from the CLI. Your full agent configuration is cloned instantly.

Yes, ClawClone is free to use. You can create up to 5 backups with up to 50MB per file.

Is my backup data private and secure?

Yes. ClawClone never reads or analyzes the contents of your backups. All files are stored on Cloudflare R2, encrypted at rest by Cloudflare and protected in transit via TLS. Access requires your personal API key. We do not log, cache, or inspect backup contents.

What files does ClawClone back up?

ClawClone backs up your SOUL.md, memory files, and project configuration — the trained context that makes your OpenClaw agent unique to your workflow.
