geni skills load
Download a platform skill into a local directory as reference material.
geni skills load <name> [flags]Downloads a platform skill's full bundle from the cloud into a local directory: SKILL.md (the method) plus its references/ files. It is read-only reference material — no .geni-resource.json marker is written, and the directory is never included in a resource publish.
The main reason to run it is the authoring skills. Before building a resource, load the matching one — its references/spec.md is the full type contract (required files, the runtime API, allowed and forbidden patterns) and references/example/ is a complete, validated example to mirror.
| Resource type | Authoring skill |
|---|---|
| Code workflow | code-workflow |
| Agent workflow | agent-workflow |
| App | app |
| Skill | skill-authoring |
| Custom API | custom-api |
skill-authoring is the one type whose short contract is inline in SKILL.md, with no example.

Output
✓ Loaded agent-workflow (8 file(s)) into /work/geni-skills/agent-workflow
· Author an agent workflow (instruction-driven automation): write instructions and config, validate, and publish.
· Start with /work/geni-skills/agent-workflow/SKILL.md; the spec and worked example (when the skill ships them) are under /work/geni-skills/agent-workflow/references/.Any platform skill works, not just the authoring ones — content skills like pdf or docx load the same way. The output is the same bundle the cloud agents load, so it always reflects the current contract.
