geni resource create

Create a resource and scaffold its starting files into a local directory.

geni resource create --type <code|agent|app|skill> [flags]

Creates a resource in the cloud and scaffolds its starting files into a directory, then drops a .geni-resource.json marker so later commands in that directory resolve the id automatically.

Load the matching authoring skill first (code-workflow, agent-workflow, app, or skill-authoring) for the type contract and a worked example.

Synopsis

geni resource create --type code --name "Daily Digest"
geni resource create --type agent --name "Inbox Triage" --dir ./triage
geni resource create --type app --name "Customer Explorer"
geni resource create --type skill --name "Gmail Inbox Triage"
FlagNotes
--type <type>Required. code, agent, app, or skill.
--name <name>Human-friendly name in Title Case. Defaults to "New Workflow" / "New App" / "New Skill".
--dir <path>Directory to scaffold into. Defaults to the current directory.
--jsonMachine-readable output.

For a skill, the starter SKILL.md frontmatter gets a slugified form of the name (gmail-inbox-triage); the cloud name re-syncs from that frontmatter on every publish.

The target directory must not already be a workflow directory (no existing .geni-resource.json). After creating, edit the files and run geni resource validate.
