how it works

Round-trips Open WebUI's whole server config as one flat JSON via Open Relay's Admin export/import; owui-config.sh patches over HTTP; generated config-key reference.

AI skill: Instructions an AI agent loads when a task calls for them, like a recipe card.

The code for this one lives in a private repo. This page explains the idea so you can build your own.
