+- **CLI Authentication**: `skillsmith login` opens your browser, you copy the API key and paste it — done. Stored securely in your OS keyring.
+- **Session Commands**: `skillsmith logout` clears stored credentials; `skillsmith whoami` shows your current auth status and key source.
+- **Headless/CI Support**: `skillsmith login --no-browser` prints the URL for environments without a display. Use `SKILLSMITH_API_KEY` env var for fully non-interactive auth.

+
+Authenticate the Skillsmith CLI with your API key. Opens your browser to [skillsmith.app/account/cli-token](https://skillsmith.app/account/cli-token), where you generate and copy a key, then paste it into the terminal prompt.

+skillsmith login

+  Note: your API key may still be in your clipboard. Clear it when done.

+
+**Options:**
+- `--no-browser` — Print the URL instead of opening a browser (for headless/CI/SSH environments)
+
+**Headless/CI environments:** Use `SKILLSMITH_API_KEY` as an environment variable — no browser needed.
+
+**Key storage:** Keys are stored in your OS keyring (macOS Keychain, GNOME Keyring, Windows Credential Store) when available, with `~/.skillsmith/config.json` as fallback.

+Remove the stored API key.

+- `config file (~/.skillsmith/config.json)` — file-based fallback
+- `environment variable (SKILLSMITH_API_KEY)` — injected at runtime
