# SSH KeyGen Helper v1.2.0

A developer-friendly tool for SSH key management and configuration.

## Features

- Generate ED25519 and RSA keys with best practices
- Auto-configure SSH config for multiple Git providers
- Backup existing keys before operations
- Cloud backup for SSH configuration

## Architecture

```
ssh-keygen-helper/
├── SKILL.md
└── scripts/
    └── ssh_manager.py     # SSH management implementation
```

## Usage

This skill helps manage SSH keys and configuration. Import and use the functions:

```python
from scripts.ssh_manager import analyze_ssh_config, check_authorized_keys, generate_key

# Analyze current SSH configuration
keys = analyze_ssh_config()
# Returns dict of found SSH keys

# Check authorized keys for access management
auth_keys = check_authorized_keys()
# Returns authorized_keys content

# Generate a new SSH key
success = generate_key(key_type="ed25519", comment="user@example.com")
# Returns True if key was generated successfully
```

## Supported Operations

| Function | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `analyze_ssh_config()` | Reads SSH directory and returns found keys |
| `check_authorized_keys()` | Returns authorized_keys content |
| `generate_key(type, comment)` | Generates new SSH key (ed25519/rsa) |
