Ralph Session Backup

This skill provides a script to backup Ralph sessions with versioning support. Each session maintains multiple timestamped backups, organized under repository-specific folders to avoid naming conflicts between different repositories.

Usage

To backup a specific session:

1. First, resolve the skill directory location (this skill's folder containing SKILL.md)
2. Navigate to the repository root directory where .ralph-sessions exists
3. Run the backup script with a path resolved relative to the skill directory: python3 <skill_directory>/scripts/backup_session.py <session_name>

Important: The script path must be resolved relative to the current skill directory location. This requires first determining where this skill is installed (e.g., in personal Copilot folders like .claude, .copilot, etc.) before executing the script.

Versioning & Storage Optimization

The script creates a versioned backup structure and auto-zips older backups to optimize storage:
