# Skill: Backup Library
Verify libraries directory exists:
```bash
ls -la libraries/
```
Run backup:
```bash
ruby .claude/skills/backup-library/backup_libraries.rb
```
Creates `backups/libraries_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.zip` containing the entire libraries directory.
## Restore Library
To restore from a backup, extract the ZIP file to the project root.
```bash
unzip backups/libraries_timestamp.zip -d .
```
This restores all libraries to their original locations.
