 The skill itself is plain markdown ([`skills/atlas-cms/SKILL.md`](skills/atlas-cms/SKILL.md) plus per-surface references), so it works with **any** AI coding agent. This repo also packages it as a Claude Code plugin with the Atlas MCP server pre-wired.
 
+**New to MCP?** MCP (Model Context Protocol) is just the plug-in standard that lets your AI agent call a tool directly — installing "the Atlas MCP server" gives your agent tools like "list entries" or "publish page" it can call on its own, instead of you copy-pasting API calls for it.

+Atlas uses two separate keys so a read-only integration can never accidentally write:
+
+- **`atlas_live_...`** — read-only. Fetches published content (blog posts, pages, media). Use this if your agent only needs to *display* content.
+- **`atlas_mgmt_...`** — read/write. Lets your agent create, edit, and publish content. Only create this if you want your agent to make changes for you.
+
+To create them: go to [cms.atlas.latellu.com/dashboard/api-keys](https://cms.atlas.latellu.com/dashboard/api-keys), log in to (or create) your workspace, click **New API key**, pick the key type above, and copy the value shown — it's only shown once.
+
+Then set them in the shell where you run `claude`:
 
 ```bash
 export ATLAS_LIVE_API_KEY="atlas_live_xxx..."   # read tools
 export ATLAS_MGMT_API_KEY="atlas_mgmt_xxx..."   # write tools
 ```

+Add these two `export` lines to your shell profile (`~/.zshrc` or `~/.bashrc`) if you want them available in every new terminal, not just the current session.
+
+### Verify it worked
+
+Start `claude` in your project and ask it something like *"list the content types in my Atlas workspace"*. If it calls an Atlas tool and returns a real answer, setup is complete. If it says it has no Atlas tools available, double check the plugin installed (`claude plugin install atlas@latellu` again) and that both env vars are set in that same shell (`echo $ATLAS_LIVE_API_KEY`).

 Choosing between MCP and the management SDK for writes: MCP is for operating content
 interactively in an agent session (one-off edits, content entry, audits); the SDK is for
 code that outlives the session (migrations, sync jobs, backends) and for structured per-field error objects.
+This is about scale and recoverability, not run count: if the task touches more than a
+handful of entries, needs to survive partial failure and be safely re-run, or needs
+structured per-field error handling, that's the SDK management client — even if you'll
+only run it once. A 200-entry backfill script is an SDK job; MCP's "one-off" framing
+means a few manual edits typed out in conversation, not a bulk script.

 Construction rules:
-- The token prefix is validated **synchronously**: a non-`atlas_mgmt_` token (e.g. a
-  live key) throws `ManagementConfigError` immediately — wrap
-  `createManagementClient(...)` in try/catch, not just the awaited calls.
+- The token prefix is validated **synchronously at creation time**, not during API calls.
+  A non-`atlas_mgmt_` token (e.g., `atlas_live_` or malformed) throws `ManagementConfigError`
+  immediately with a descriptive message identifying what went wrong.
+- **Critical:** Wrap `createManagementClient(...)` in a try/catch block, **not just the
+  awaited calls**. Config errors are synchronous exceptions; request errors are rejected promises.
+- If you accidentally use an `atlas_live_` delivery key, the error message will explicitly
+  state that read keys cannot be used for management operations.
 - Requests carry `X-API-Key` and go to `${url}/api/v1/manage/*`.
 - The key's scopes gate operations: `content:write` → create/update/delete/duplicate,
   `content:publish` → publish/unpublish/archive/schedule, `media:write` → uploads.
