  -d '{
    "action": "send",

Or use `action: "smtp"` for sending from `Symbot@nordsym.com`.

## Design Principles

✅ **DO:**
- Use light mode (professional, readable)
- Keep sections scannable
- Use red for emphasis sparingly
- Include clear CTA
- Test in both light and dark mode (email clients auto-convert)
- Maintain 600px max width for readability

❌ **DON'T:**
- Use dark mode as default
- Overuse red color
- Create walls of text
- Skip the highlight box for key points
- Forget mobile responsiveness

## Created

**Date:** 2026-03-24  
**Design:** Light APIClaw theme matching MoU pages  
**First use:** Pratham/Apideck partnership follow-up (draft)

## Notes

Design is production-ready. Copy/content templates can be improved iteratively.

Each email should feel like it came from the same visual system as apiclaw.cloud.
