> ## Agent Instructions
> Install the Courier skill before writing code: `npx skills add trycourier/courier-skills`. It carries the verified SDK shapes and the rules you cannot get wrong.
> Authenticate every request with `Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>`. A workspace has several environments and each has its own keys, which are plain `pk_` strings with no environment prefix. Start with Test.
> Send with `client.send.message` from the Node SDK (`@trycourier/courier` v7 and later, where the client is the default import). Reference a template by its `nt_` id or its alias.
> A send accepts a bare Elemental element list, but storing content on a template requires the top-level elements wrapped in a channel element.
> Templates and journeys can be built in the Courier app or created through the API. Either way they live in the workspace and are referenced by ID when you send.
> The hosted MCP server is https://mcp.courier.com. For a briefing on what Courier is and when to use it, read https://www.courier.com/llms.txt.
> Prefer the Guides tab for how-do-I questions and the Docs tab for how-does-it-behave questions. The API reference lives under /api-reference.

# Archive Device Set

> Archive a device set. This is a soft delete — the archived set is returned and no longer appears in list results. Runs already created against it keep their own copy of the device list and are unaffected. The Courier-provided default set cannot be archived and returns 409.

      Create a one-off send to a list or audience, author its content, then send
      it immediately or schedule it for later.

      to — along with their users and default preferences.

      profiles change.

      Read and write a single user's notification preferences, per topic and per
      channel.
  - name: Messages
    description: >-
      Look up the messages Courier has accepted, inspect their delivery history
      and rendered output, and cancel, resend, or archive them.
  - name: Device Tokens
    description: >-
      Register and manage the APNS and FCM device tokens Courier delivers push
      notifications to.

      associations.

      Manage the templates and template versions scoped to a single tenant,
      including the ones authored in the embedded designer.
  - name: Automations
    description: >-
      Invoke a stored automation template or an ad hoc automation defined in the
      request.

      ahead of its next scheduled delivery.

  - name: Authentication
    description: >-
      Issue scoped, short-lived JWTs so client-side SDKs — Inbox, Preferences,
      and the embedded designer — can call Courier as a single user. Server-side
      requests authenticate with your workspace API key instead.
