Subject: [PATCH 1/2] docs(cli): drop AGENTSFLEET_TOKEN; document
 AGENTSFLEET_API_KEY precedence
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The CLI removed the `AGENTSFLEET_TOKEN` environment variable. The service
API key `AGENTSFLEET_API_KEY` is now the sole env-sourced bearer and wins
over a stored `login` session at the wire.

- cli/configuration.mdx — rewrite Auth precedence to the new model (no
  TTY-dependence): API key wins over stored credentials; login seeding is
  `--token` → stdin → browser. Drop the env-var table row; update the CI
  example to `AGENTSFLEET_API_KEY`.
- cli/agentsfleet.mdx — login/logout/auth-status: token resolution is
  `--token` → stdin; the env-seeding example and the auth-status source
  list now use `AGENTSFLEET_API_KEY`.
- quickstart.mdx, agents/troubleshooting.mdx — non-interactive auth uses
  `--token`/stdin or a standing `AGENTSFLEET_API_KEY`.
- api-reference/introduction.mdx — curl example uses `$AGENTSFLEET_API_KEY`.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] docs: tighten landing intro to marketing statement + curl
 one-liner

Drop the long 'A teammate that owns the outcome' section for the short
marketing statement, replace the multi-step Get started block with the
single curl one-liner used on the marketing site, and point readers to
the quickstart to start their first fleet.

-## A teammate that owns the outcome
-
-A pull request lands. A deploy fails at 2am. Normally someone guesses from a stack trace and ships a patch on hope — and by morning the context is gone, evidence scattered across CI, logs, dashboards, and chat.
-
-A teammate owns the outcome instead. An **agent** is a durable runtime described in two markdown files — `SKILL.md` (the senior engineer's playbook in prose) plus `TRIGGER.md` (which tools the agent can reach and which events wake it). When a trigger fires, it gathers the evidence, reasons over it, opens a scenario-backed fix, posts an evidenced diagnosis to your Slack channel, and keeps a replayable log of every move — holding at human approval before anything merges or ships.
-
-`platform-ops` is **one** prebuilt teammate, and more keep joining the fleet — code review, incident triage, security review. It wakes on a GitHub Actions deploy failure, pulls workflow logs + your hosting provider's app state + your data-plane's health, and posts a one-paragraph diagnosis with a leading hypothesis. The same agent is reachable via `agentsfleet steer` for a manual investigation. The runtime is open source, you bring your own model and pay your provider directly, and the agent never sees your raw keys — only `${secrets.NAME.FIELD}` placeholders, swapped for real values outside the sandbox.
+Each one wakes on an event — a pull request, an incident, a deploy — investigates across your code, telemetry, and live control-plane state, opens a scenario-backed fix, and waits for human approval before it ships. Every move lands in a durable, replayable log — evidenced answers, never chat.
 
 ## Get started
 
-`platform-ops` goes from a cold machine to a real diagnosis in Slack in about ten minutes. Install the CLI, add the host skills, and sign in:
+Install `agentsfleet` and the host skills in one command:
 
 ```bash
-npm install -g @agentsfleet/cli
-npx skills add agentsfleet/skills

-
-Then invoke the install skill inside your agent — Claude Code, Amp, Codex CLI, or OpenCode:
-
+curl -fsSL https://agentsfleet.dev | bash

-
-The skill registers the GitHub webhook and writes `SKILL.md` + `TRIGGER.md` into your repo. From there, behaviour iterates on prose, not redeploys.
