 "page_title": "How to back up the vault to your own private GitHub repository with Open Keylet",
 "summary": "Store encrypted snapshots in a private repo you own and restore on another device.",
 "who": "A developer who moves between machines and needs a recoverable copy of saved credentials.",
 "problem": "A single device holds all saved credentials, so losing it can lock you out of servers and accounts.",
 "outcome": "You hold encrypted snapshots in your own private repository and can merge-restore them on a new device.",
 "steps": [
  "Create a dedicated private repository such as openkeylet-vault.",
  "Create a fine-grained GitHub token and select only that repository with Contents: Read and write.",
  "In Settings, open GitHub backup, enter owner/repository and the token, and choose Create a new backup.",
  "Save the generated recovery key outside the repository.",
  "Select Back up now and confirm that openkeylet.vault.json appears in the repository."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "For the OpenKeylet project at omaekumiko2-create/OpenKeylet, ask the user to open Settings, GitHub backup, and select Back up now for <owner/repository>. Then confirm that openkeylet.vault.json exists in that repository. Verify that the file contains no unlock key or recovery key.",
