Global options
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-v, --verbose | Print detailed decision trace (which plugins matched, which skills were considered, etc.) |
--json | Output structured JSON report to stdout; suppresses human-readable output. Combine with -v to include the full decision trace. |
--update <LEVEL> | Plugin source update behavior: none (default), check, fetch |
-q, --quiet | Suppress status output |
--help | Print help |

The -v and --json flags work with sync, plugin list, and plugin validate. During hook dispatch, decision events are emitted at debug level and appear in verbose output when testing hooks.
