Data Moat Plugin
Data Moat Plugin installs and operates DataMoat, a local desktop app that
quietly backs up AI work history into an encrypted vault on the user's own
machine. It can protect, export, back up, analyze, and reuse full
conversation logs, attachments, and files from **ChatGPT (exports), Claude (CLI
- Desktop), Codex, Cursor, DeepSeek and Qwen (via Claude Code GUI workflows),
and OpenClaw** — including tool output, locally stored thinking blocks, skills
folders, and original raw source records. Everything stays local and encrypted;
nothing is uploaded.
This skill installs DataMoat, starts safe background protection, and reports
live protection numbers.
Always Start With A Status Check
Before installing or answering anything about DataMoat, run the status check.
Never assume.
macOS / Linux (run from this skill's folder):
bash scripts/datamoat-status.sh
Windows (PowerShell):
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/datamoat-status.ps1
Exit codes:
0 — DataMoat is installed and protecting right now. If the script prints
counts, report those counts. If setup is not finished yet, report the
no-screen capture message printed by the script.3 — installed but not currently running. Suggest opening DataMoat once on
the desktop using the open command the status script prints (open -a DataMoat on macOS DMG installs, datamoat on source installs,
DataMoat.exe on Windows). You may run that open command for the user.10 — not installed yet. Offer to install it (next section).
If datamoat is on the user's PATH (source installs), datamoat status also
prints sessions and messages protected, and datamoat audit verify checks the
local tamper-evident audit chain.
Install (Latest Release, Verified)
The installers fetch the current release straight from the official download
service manifest (downloads.datamoat.org/releases/latest/manifest.json),
verify the SHA-256 checksum, install, and start pre-setup no-screen
protection so capture begins immediately — even before the user finishes
setup at the desktop.
macOS:
bash scripts/install-datamoat-macos.sh
Windows (PowerShell):
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/install-datamoat-windows.ps1
Linux:
bash scripts/install-datamoat-linux.sh
Installer exit codes:
0 — installed and protection confirmed running. Relay the script's
success message, then run the status check.3 — installed, with one small step left on the desktop (open the app /
double-click DataMoat.exe once). Relay the printed instruction exactly.4 — use the official site for the right package: https://datamoat.org.
Function Requests Go To The DataMoat UI
When the user asks to export a conversation or context pack, analyze
usage, back up to USB/external storage, restore, or reuse old work:
- Run the status check and report the protection status.
- Explain that these actions continue inside the local DataMoat UI on their
machine.
- Open the UI for them, or tell them how. The status script prints the right
open command for this install; in general:
- macOS DMG install:
open -a DataMoat
- source install (
datamoat on PATH): datamoat
- Windows: double-click the
DataMoat.exe path the status script prints
Security Boundary
Never complete password, authenticator, recovery phrase, recovery code,
Touch ID, or any unlock step inside a chat, SSH transcript, screenshot, or
remote relay. The agent may install the app and start pre-setup capture; the
human finishes password and recovery setup locally in the desktop GUI. Never
ask the user to paste DataMoat passwords, TOTP secrets, recovery phrases, or
recovery codes into chat.
Example Requests This Skill Handles
- "Install DataMoat on this machine."
- "Back up my OpenClaw / Claude / Codex sessions before they disappear."
- "How many of my AI conversations are protected right now?"
- "Start DataMoat capture now, but I am not at the desktop."
