@unerase/cli

Backup, version, and restore the brain of any AI agent.

Unerase is a local-first backup tool for the parts of an AI agent that are yours — the memory, skills, principles, and configs you've taught it about your business, your family, your work-in-progress. When a session resets, a machine swaps, or an agent overwrites its own files, Unerase gets you back to the version that knows you.

This package ships the Phase 0 CLI: a single unerase command you run on your own machine, against your own OpenClaw workspaces. No cloud, no auth, no billing.

Install

npm install -g @unerase/cli
unerase --version
unerase --help

Requires Node 20 or later, macOS or Linux, and restic on your PATH.

Quickstart

The full user walkthrough — prerequisites, unerase init, unerase serve, agent skill install, first backup, list versions, restore preview, and the restore-apply safety contract — lives in the project root README:

👉 github.com/kengwei/unerase#readme

The root README is the canonical Phase 0 walkthrough. This package-local README is a stub that points at it.

What this package contains

The published tarball is a single bundled JavaScript file (dist/cli.js) plus this README, the LICENSE, and the package manifest. It has zero runtime npm dependencies — the schema package (@unerase/shared-schema) is bundled into the CLI at build time.

Building from source

If you've cloned the unerase repo and want to run the CLI locally:

# from repo root
npm install
npm run cli:build       # produces apps/cli/dist/cli.js (tsup bundle)
node apps/cli/dist/cli.js --help

# or install globally from a packed tarball:
npm pack -w apps/cli --pack-destination=/tmp
npm install -g /tmp/unerase-cli-0.1.1.tgz
unerase --help

To run the test suite:

npm run cli:test        # tsc-builds tests under dist/test/, runs node --test
