Type `yes` to continue.
If `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` is set in your environment, the CLI picks it up automatically.
If not, you can configure it from inside the sandbox after it launches.

<Note>
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` is an API key from [console.anthropic.com](https://console.anthropic.com), not a Claude.ai subscription token. Claude Max and Pro subscription users must generate a separate API key.

For now, you can generate preview locally using fern docs dev and then http://localhost:3000/openshell/sandboxes/manage-providers

I just noticed that docs preview doesn't work for forked PRs, I will fix that.

I'm also surprised that our Markdown linting didn't catch this, I will take a look at this as well.

<Note>
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` is an API key from [console.anthropic.com](https://console.anthropic.com), not a Claude.ai subscription token. Claude Max and Pro subscription users must generate a separate API key from the Anthropic Console.
