Stencil is probably the silkscreen layer, assuming you can figure out
the other ones are copper and solder mask. For outline, if you don't
have an explicit outline layer, use the fabrication drawing.
board.front.gbr
front side copper
board.frontmask.gbr
front side solder (stop) mask
board.frontpaste.gbr
front side paste mask
board.frontsilk.gbr
front side silk (stencil or ink)
board.back.gbr
solder side copper
board.backmask.gbr
solder side solder (stop) mask
board.backpaste.gbr
solder side paste mask
board.backsilk.gbr
solder side silk (stencil or ink)
board.fab.gbr
fabrication drawing (human readable, includes outline and drill makers)
board.plated-drill.cnc
drills for plated-through holes
