# `chock plugin`

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

Package policies as installable plugins (plugin build \[--format claude\] \[--check\])

> Ask the user before running any command on this page: each one changes how their agent or repository behaves.

## Syntax

This is the usage line argparse builds from this command's parser. Ask the user before running the commands below:

```text
chock plugin [-h] [--repo REPO] [--policies-dir POLICIES_DIR]
             [--format {agent-plugins,claude,copilot,cursor,codex,devin,goose,grok,antigravity,openhands,kimi,droid,all}]
             [--out-dir OUT_DIR] [--policy ID] [--out OUT] [--check]
             {build}
```

## 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. Help for each argument is in the table on this page's HTML version and in Help as printed, as the engine words it.

| Argument | Default |
| --- | --- |
| `{build}` one of: build (required) |  |
| `--repo REPO` | `.` |
| `--policies-dir POLICIES_DIR` |  |
| `--format` one of: agent-plugins, claude, copilot, cursor, codex, devin, goose, grok, antigravity, openhands, kimi, droid, all | `agent-plugins` |
| `--out-dir OUT_DIR` |  |
| `--policy ID` |  |
| `--out OUT` |  |
| `--check` |  |

## 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, and this page has no recorded run.

## Help as printed

This is what `--help` prints, from the same parser. The usage line names the program as the engine's parser does. Ask the user before running the commands below:

```text
usage: chock plugin [-h] [--repo REPO] [--policies-dir POLICIES_DIR]
                    [--format {agent-plugins,claude,copilot,cursor,codex,devin,goose,grok,antigravity,openhands,kimi,droid,all}]
                    [--out-dir OUT_DIR] [--policy ID] [--out OUT] [--check]
                    {build}
```

The full options are on this page's HTML version, as the engine prints them.
