Keep a video project in a private GitHub repo

People want an undo button and a backup, not version control. This skill gives them both and never asks them to learn git.

How it works. Text (scripts, prompts, storyboards, the edit as HTML or TSX) goes in git, where every change is one readable line. Media stays out of git: scripts/repo.py lists each file by hash in media.lock.jsonl and uploads the bytes to Releases of the same private repo. One GitHub login covers everything, and a new laptop gets it all back.

<skill> below is this skill's folder. Once a project exists it carries its own copy at tools/repo.py, so any agent on any machine can continue without this skill. You do not need to read the script: --help lists the commands and every message says what to do next.

When not to use this

• One clip with no later edits: keep the file. Nothing here is needed.
• The person already has a git setup that works, with LFS or their own storage: keep it and take only the layout and naming from references/layout.md.
• A file over 2 GB, or more than about 50 GB in total: read references/media-storage.md first.
• No shell and no Python: use the prompt in references/paste-prompt.md, which does the same by hand.
