+Overview
+--------
+
+An SKP is a binary representation of the draw commands Chromium sends to Skia for rasterization.
+
+Skia uses different types of SKPs in our continuous builds and tests:
+
+* [Buildbot](https://skia.org/dev/testing/buildbot) SKPs are the small set (89 as of 2/10/16) of SKPs that are used on almost all our bots.
+* [Cluster Telemetry](https://skia.org/dev/testing/ct) SKPs are the much larger set (~900k) that are used by our CT bots (Eg: [CT_BENCH_10k](https://build.chromium.org/p/client.skia/builders/Perf-Ubuntu-GCC-GCE-CPU-AVX2-x86_64-Release-CT_BENCH_10k_SKPs), [CT_DM_10k](https://build.chromium.org/p/client.skia/builders/Test-Ubuntu-GCC-GCE-CPU-AVX2-x86_64-Debug-CT_DM_10k_SKPs), [CT_DM_1m](https://build.chromium.org/p/client.skia.fyi/builders/Test-Ubuntu-GCC-GCE-CPU-AVX2-x86_64-Debug-CT_DM_1m_SKPs)).
+
+Skia developers find it useful to download these SKPs to run local tests to reproduce problems seen on the buildbots. The below sections detail how to download them.

+
+All buildbot SKP files created by the RecreateSKPs bot are available in the Google Storage bucket gs://chromium-skia-gm, they can be copied over to your local directory like this:
+
+* Download the gsutil tool https://developers.google.com/cloud/sdk/#Quick_Start.
+* Authenticate using your google.com credentials “gcloud auth login”
+* Get the current SKP version from https://skia.googlesource.com/skia/+/master/SKP_VERSION.
+* Run in your terminal:
+
+    $ SKP\_VERSION=...<br/>
+    $ SKP\_DEST=...<br/>
+    $ gsutil -m cp gs://chromium-skia-gm/playback\_${SKP\_VERSION}/skps/*.skp ${SKP\_DEST}
