## 🚀 How It Works

### **Step 1: Generate a Key**
```
/generate-key
```
Creates a secure random encryption key that you share with trusted contacts.

### **Step 2: Send Encrypted Messages**
```
/send-encrypt message:"Secret info" encryption_code:"your_key" user:@friend
```
Your message is encrypted and can be sent to channels or DMs. Recipients are clearly identified, and DM recipients receive opt-out instructions.

### **Step 3: Decrypt Messages**
```
/decrypt encrypted_data:"[encrypted_text]" encryption_code:"your_key"
```
Only people with the correct key can decrypt and read the message.
