Quick brief

Use borgmatic when an agent needs to execute a repeatable backup runbook around Borg, including create, prune, consistency checks, hooks, and restore-oriented validation from one configuration. Invoke this instead of using Borg directly when the real task is policy-driven backup orchestration and health checking, not manual archive commands one by one. The scope boundary is clear and skill-shaped: borgmatic is a declarative backup and restore operations layer for Borg workflows, not just a generic backup product card or a broad infrastructure platform listing.
