 Contentrain is a Git-based, AI-first content management system. Content lives in `.contentrain/` as JSON and Markdown files, managed through MCP tools. This skill covers architecture, content formats, and tool usage.
 
+## Ecosystem Overview
+
+Contentrain consists of 6 packages that work together:
+
+| Package | Role | How agent uses it |
+|---|---|---|
+| @contentrain/mcp | 16 MCP tools (scan, apply, validate, merge...) | MCP tool calls |
+| contentrain (CLI) | init, serve, generate, doctor, diff, status | Shell commands |
+| @contentrain/types | Shared TypeScript contracts | Type safety |
+| @contentrain/query | Generated SDK client (Prisma-pattern) | `import from '#contentrain'` |
+| @contentrain/rules | Behavioral guardrails (~86 lines, always-loaded) | Auto-loaded by IDE |
+| @contentrain/skills | Procedural workflows (this file) | On-demand by agent |
+
+### CLI Serve — Review & Approval Bridge
+
+For workflows requiring human review (normalize, content review):
+
+```bash
+contentrain serve  # http://localhost:3333

+|---|---|
+| /normalize | Extraction/reuse preview and approval |
+| /branches | Merge or delete pending branches |
+| /validate | Review validation errors visually |

+### Step 5: User Review
+
+Two paths — agent chooses based on context:
+
+**Path A — Browser Review (recommended for visual diff):**
+1. Ensure `contentrain serve` is running (or ask user to start it)
+2. Summarize the dry_run output to the user
+3. Direct user to http://localhost:3333/normalize
+4. Explain: "On this page you can review the extraction plan and Approve or Reject it."
+5. Wait for user decision
+
+**Path B — Terminal Review:**
+1. Show dry_run output to user
+2. Ask for explicit approval
+3. If approved: `contentrain_apply(mode: 'extract', dry_run: false)` → execute
+4. `contentrain_validate` → `contentrain_submit`
+5. `contentrain_merge(branch: 'cr/normalize/extract/...', confirm: true)` to merge locally
+
+### Step 6: Merge Phase 1 Branch
+
+Phase 2 CANNOT start until Phase 1 branch is merged. Three options:
+- **Browser:** localhost:3333/branches → click Merge
+- **MCP Tool:** `contentrain_merge(branch: 'cr/normalize/extract/...', confirm: true)`
+- **Git platform:** Create PR → review → merge
+
+Verify with `contentrain_status` — check that extract branch is no longer in unmerged list.
+
+### Step 7: Phase 2 Prerequisite Check
+
+Before starting reuse:
+1. Call `contentrain_status` and verify extract branch is merged
+2. If not merged → inform user and wait
+3. If merged → proceed to Phase 2 reuse
+
+### Step 8: SDK Regeneration (after Phase 2)
+
+After all reuse operations are complete, source files now use `#contentrain` imports.
+The SDK client MUST be regenerated:
+
+```bash
+npx contentrain generate
+```
+
+Without this, `#contentrain` imports will fail at build time.
+See: **contentrain-generate** skill for details.
