+# API Coverage
+
+Understand the relationship between the Cakemail CLI, the Cakemail SDK, and the Cakemail API.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Cakemail CLI is built on top of the official Cakemail SDK, which provides 100% coverage of the Cakemail API (232 operations). This means:
+
+- **All API operations** are available through the SDK
+- **Most common operations** are exposed as CLI commands
+- **Advanced operations** can be accessed via scripting with the SDK
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────┐
+│   Cakemail CLI      │  ← User-friendly commands

+└──────────┬──────────┘

+┌──────────▼──────────┐
+│   Cakemail API      │  ← REST API
+│  (api.cakemail.dev) │
+└─────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### Layers Explained
+
+**Cakemail API (Bottom Layer)**
+- REST API with 232 operations
+- Handles all email marketing functionality
+- Requires API authentication
+
+**Cakemail SDK (Middle Layer)**
+- Node.js TypeScript library
+- Generated from OpenAPI specification
+- 100% API coverage
+- Type-safe operations
+
+**Cakemail CLI (Top Layer)**
+- Command-line interface
+- User-friendly commands for common operations
+- Built with Commander.js
+- Uses SDK internally
+
+---

+## Using the SDK Directly
+
+For operations not available as CLI commands, you can use the SDK directly in Node.js scripts.
+
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @cakemail-org/cakemail-sdk
+```
+
+### Example: Custom Script
+
+```javascript
+import { CakemailSDK } from '@cakemail-org/cakemail-sdk';
+
+// Initialize SDK
+const sdk = new CakemailSDK({
+  auth: {
+    email: process.env.CAKEMAIL_EMAIL,
+    password: process.env.CAKEMAIL_PASSWORD
+  }
+});
+
+// Use any API operation
+async function advancedOperation() {
+  // Example: Get detailed campaign statistics
+  const stats = await sdk.campaigns.getCampaignStatistics({
+    campaignId: 12345,
+    includeDetails: true
+  });
+
+  console.log(stats);
+}
+
+advancedOperation();
+```

+
+## API Operation Examples
+
+### Example 1: CLI Command
+
+```bash
+# Simple CLI command
+cakemail campaigns list --limit 10
+```
+
+### Example 2: SDK Usage
+
+```javascript
+// Equivalent SDK usage
+const campaigns = await sdk.campaigns.listCampaigns({
+  limit: 10
+});
+```
+
+### Example 3: Direct API Call
+
+```bash
+# Equivalent direct API call
+curl -X GET "https://api.cakemail.dev/campaigns?limit=10" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CAKEMAIL_ACCESS_TOKEN"

+---
+
+## Requesting New Features
+
+If you need a CLI command for an SDK/API operation that's not available:
+
+### Check SDK Documentation
+
+First, verify the operation exists in the SDK:
+- [Cakemail SDK on npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cakemail-org/cakemail-sdk)
+- [Cakemail API Documentation](https://api.cakemail.com)
+
+### Use SDK Directly (Temporary)
+
+While waiting for CLI support, use the SDK directly:
+
+```javascript
+// custom-operation.js
+import { CakemailSDK } from '@cakemail-org/cakemail-sdk';
+
+const sdk = new CakemailSDK({
+  auth: {
+    accessToken: process.env.CAKEMAIL_ACCESS_TOKEN
+  }
+});
+
+// Your custom operation
+async function main() {
+  const result = await sdk.someService.someOperation({
+    // parameters
+  });
+  console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
+}
+
+main();
+```
+
+Run with:
+```bash
+node custom-operation.js
+```
+
+### Request CLI Command
+
+Submit a feature request:
+1. **Check existing issues**: [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/cakemail-org/cakemail-cli/issues)
+2. **Create new issue** with:
+   - Use case description
+   - API operation name
+   - Example usage
+   - Why SDK direct usage isn't sufficient
+
+**Template:**
+```markdown
+### Feature Request: Add command for [operation]
+
+**Use case:**
+I need to [describe what you want to accomplish]
+
+**API Operation:**
+`sdk.service.operation()`
+
+**Proposed CLI command:**
+`cakemail resource action [options]`
+
+**Why not use SDK directly:**
+[Explain why a CLI command would be better]
+```

+
+---
+
+## Understanding SDK Versioning
+
+The CLI depends on the SDK version specified in `package.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "dependencies": {
+    "@cakemail-org/cakemail-sdk": "^2.0.0"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Version Compatibility
+
+- **CLI v1.x** → SDK v2.x → API v2
+- SDK updates automatically include new API features
+- CLI updates add new commands for SDK features
+
+### Staying Updated
+
+**Check CLI version:**
+```bash
+cakemail --version
+```
+
+**Update CLI:**
+```bash
+# Homebrew
+brew upgrade cakemail-cli
+
+# npm
+npm update -g @cakemail-org/cakemail-cli
+```
+
+**Check SDK version:**
+```bash
+npm list @cakemail-org/cakemail-sdk
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Start with CLI
+
+For common operations, always try CLI first:
+```bash
+cakemail campaigns list
+```
+
+### 2. Use SDK for Advanced Operations
+
+When CLI doesn't support what you need:
+```javascript
+const sdk = new CakemailSDK(...);
+await sdk.advanced.operation();
+```
+
+### 3. Direct API as Last Resort
+
+Only use direct API calls when SDK doesn't support it (rare):
+```bash
+curl -X POST "https://api.cakemail.dev/..."
+```
+
+### 4. Request Missing Commands
+
+If you find yourself repeatedly using SDK for the same operation, request a CLI command.
