description	How to write the Template pages for the Atomic Payload docs — docs/content/docs/templates/*.mdx (atomic-payload). Use when creating, editing, or reviewing the starter-template guide. This documents the full Payload + Next.js + Tailwind starter that wires up every plugin — setup, environment, deployment, and optional integrations. Builds on the ap-docs-guide skill for shared conventions.

Template pages

Pages under docs/content/docs/templates/ documenting the full starter (currently atomic-payload) — Payload + Next.js + Tailwind with every plugin pre-wired. This is the complete-app setup guide (richer than Getting Started, which just scaffolds). Follow ap-docs-guide for shared conventions.

Structure

1. ## Overview — what the starter is (the stack + "every plugin already installed and configured"), and that it serves both scaffolded projects and the monorepo template folder. Add a <Callout> pointing monorepo developers to MONOREPO.md.
2. ## Setup — a <Steps> walkthrough: required external services (database, blob storage), env configuration (.env), secrets, install, run.
3. Deployment — how to deploy (e.g. Vercel) and any build settings.
4. Optional integrations — Mux, Resend, etc., each clearly optional.

Notes

• This is the one place that documents whole-app concerns (env keys, deployment, storage). Keep env keys, scripts, and commands in sync with the real templates/atomic-payload (.env.example, package.json).
• Don't duplicate per-plugin reference here — link to the plugin pages instead.

Checklist

• Follows ap-docs-guide shared conventions.
• Overview → Setup (<Steps>) → Deployment → Optional integrations.
• Env keys, scripts, and commands match the real template; links to plugin pages instead of duplicating them.
