Specialist import, export, and templates

These commands print JSON. An export includes the specialist's eligible published resources; private files and memory are included only when you select them.

geni specialist export-preview <specialistId>
geni specialist export <specialistId>
geni specialist export <specialistId> --file guides/brand.pdf --include-memory --notes "Setup notes"

export-preview lists resources that will travel and those left behind. export returns a zip download URL and filename. Repeat --file <path> to include multiple specialist-relative files. Memory may contain names and private decisions; it is omitted unless --include-memory is present. Connected credentials and live database/store data are not exported.

Import an archive

geni specialist import-preview ./specialist.zip
geni specialist import <bundleKey> --sha256 <sha256> --confirm
geni specialist import-discard <bundleKey>

The preview command stages the zip and returns its contents, required connections, bundleKey, and SHA-256 receipt. Pass that exact receipt when importing. A changed archive is rejected; stage and preview it again. Files larger than 50 MB are rejected. import-discard removes a staged archive you no longer want to import.

Imported specialists use the same setup flow as dashboard imports. Provide their required connections afterwards.

Use templates

geni specialist template list --scope all --query "reporting"
geni specialist template list --scope workspace --service gmail --offset 20
geni specialist template get <templateId>
geni specialist template install <templateId> --version <version> --confirm

Scopes are all, workspace, and public. The list response includes hasMore; advance --offset by the number of returned templates. get shows resources, required connections and the template version. Install that reviewed version; if it changed, inspect the template again.

Publish and take down templates

geni specialist export-preview <specialistId>
geni specialist template publish <specialistId> --visibility organization --description "A reusable reporting specialist" --confirm
geni specialist template publish <specialistId> --visibility public --description "Weekly reporting" --file guides/setup.md --confirm
geni specialist template unpublish <templateId> --confirm

Visibility must be selected explicitly: organization makes the publication discoverable within the workspace; public makes it available to everyone. Publication accepts the same --file, --include-memory, and --notes options as export. Publishing the same specialist again creates a new version. Only the publisher can take a template down; existing installed copies remain with their owners.
