• Status Monitoring: Check backup health and history
• Quota Management: Track storage usage and retention
• Troubleshooting: Diagnose and fix backup issues

When to Use

Scenario	Example Task
Create backup	"Backup my context database"
Restore data	"Restore from yesterday's backup"
Check status	"Show my recent backups"
Troubleshoot	"Why did my backup fail?"
Setup	"Configure backup for this machine"

Invocation

/agent backup-manager "backup my context database"
/agent backup-manager "restore from 2026-01-17"
/agent backup-manager "check backup status"
/agent backup-manager "setup backup bucket"
/agent backup-manager "list all backups from this week"

Execution Protocol

For Backup Tasks

1. Verify Prerequisites

   # Check gcloud authentication
   gcloud auth list --filter="status:ACTIVE" --format="value(account)"
   
   # Check bucket exists
   gsutil ls gs://${PROJECT_ID}-context-backups/ 2>/dev/null || echo "Bucket needs setup"

2. Run Backup

   # Full backup with compression
   ~/.coditect/scripts/backup-context-db.sh
   
   # Dry run first
   ~/.coditect/scripts/backup-context-db.sh --dry-run

3. Verify Success

   ~/.coditect/scripts/backup-context-db.sh --status

For Restore Tasks

1. List Available Backups

   ~/.coditect/scripts/backup-context-db.sh --status

2. Confirm Restore Target

   • Ask user to confirm which backup to restore
   • Warn about data replacement

3. Execute Restore

   # Restore latest
   ~/.coditect/scripts/backup-context-db.sh --restore latest
   
   # Restore specific date
   ~/.coditect/scripts/backup-context-db.sh --restore 2026-01-17

4. Verify Restoration

   • Check file sizes and timestamps
   • Verify database integrity

For Status Tasks

# Quick status
~/.coditect/scripts/backup-context-db.sh --status

# Detailed listing
gsutil ls -l gs://${PROJECT_ID}-context-backups/coditect-core/

# Check sizes
gsutil du -sh gs://${PROJECT_ID}-context-backups/

For Setup Tasks

# Create bucket with retention policy
~/.coditect/scripts/backup-context-db.sh --setup

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
gcloud: command not found	gcloud not installed	Install Google Cloud SDK
403 Forbidden	Auth expired	Run gcloud auth login
Bucket not found	First time setup	Run /backup --setup
Disk space low	Local disk full	Clear temp files
Network timeout	Connection issue	Retry with smaller chunks

Integration Points

• Hooks: Triggers pre-backup and post-backup hooks
• Skill: Uses patterns from skills/backup/SKILL.md
• Command: Invoked by /backup command
• MCP: Can be called via MCP tool interface

Security Considerations

• Never backup credential files (.env, secrets)
• Verify GCS bucket permissions
• Use signed URLs for downloads (1 hour expiry)
• Audit log all backup/restore operations
