CLI reference

chock eval

Ask the user before running chock eval: what it takes and prints, from the engine at the pinned commit.

Alias of: check --only evals

Syntax

This is the usage line argparse builds from this command's parser.

chock eval [-h] [--repo REPO] [--mode {deterministic,agent}] [--json] [--verbose]
           [policy_id]

Arguments and options

The table lists every argument the parser declares, except -h, --help, written as argparse prints it. Default is the value the parser uses when you leave the option out. It is empty for a flag or when the parser sets none.

ArgumentDefaultHelp
policy_idPolicy to evaluate. Default: every policy in the repo.
--repo REPO.Repository root (default: cwd)
--mode one of: deterministic, agentdeterministic
--jsonEmit machine-readable results
--verboseInclude skipped cases in the table

Exit codes

  • 2: argparse rejected the arguments, for example an option this command does not have. The site's tests run every command with an unknown option and check that it exits 2.
  • Chock documents no other exit codes. Each example below shows the code its run returned.

Examples

Real runs, recorded by python -m sitegen.cliexamples with the engine at the pinned commit. The steps of data/cli-examples.yaml ran in order, offline, in one fresh git repository at /work/demo (made with git init -b main), with HOME at /home/demo. Those paths stand for the throwaway folders the runs used, and <time> stands for a timestamp. Output is stdout and stderr together.

Step 7 of 21, exit code 0.

5 policies: 4 pass, 44 skipped
44 case(s) have no executable form; they are agent-mode material (tier 3).

Help as printed

This is what --help prints, from the same parser. The usage line names the program as the engine's parser does.

usage: chock check --only evals [-h] [--repo REPO] [--mode {deterministic,agent}] [--json]
                                [--verbose]
                                [policy_id]
