Skills

A skill is a short instruction file your AI coding agent reads on every conversation. The geni skill teaches the agent how to use the CLI correctly — which command to reach for, how to discover credentials and operations, and how to construct a geni exec bash invocation without making things up.

Without it, the agent has to be reminded what geni is in every new chat. With it, the agent just knows.

The skill ships inside the geni binary and lands in your agent's plugin directory. No copy-paste prompts, no environment variables.

Commands

• geni skills install, write the skill into every detected agent.
• geni skills uninstall, remove it from every detected agent.

Supported agents

Detection is automatic. Currently:

• Claude Code — writes to the user-level skills directory the agent reads at startup.
• Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, VS Code Copilot Chat — supported when their skill/instruction directories are present.

If no supported agent is detected, install prints the list of agents it looked for and exits without writing anything.

Updating

Re-run geni skills install after every geni upgrade. The skill content is bundled with the binary, so a fresh install ships fresh skill content. The command is idempotent — running it twice in a row is safe and reports already up to date on the second run.
