CLI reference

Genie v6.261003.1 has 16 CLI commands. Nothing runs in the background: every command does its work and exits.
This is genie --help from release v6.261003.1, pasted verbatim:
Usage: genie [options] [command]

                       entry in .mcp.json plus marker-owned .codex/config.toml

For one command's options and subcommands, run genie <command> --help or genie help <command>.

Notes on the output

  • orca is a retired stub. The Orca integration was removed. The command stays visible for one more release so that a script still calling it gets a retirement notice instead of an unknown command. It accepts any arguments, writes nothing and exits non-zero. The next release removes it.
  • mcp, in the description of init, names a removed verb. Genie has no MCP server, and genie mcp is an unknown command. genie init still removes a leftover genie mcp entry from a project's .mcp.json: it backs the file up first and leaves every other server as it was.
Installation
Install, update, verify and uninstall the binary.
