01Run it

Replace the <placeholders> with your own values, or use the builder below.

p202 user create --user-email <user_email> --user-name <user_name>

02What you get

Pick the shape you need. People get a table. Add --json, --csv or --ndjson for scripts, or -q for ids only. An AI agent gets compact JSON without asking. All output formats

03Build your command

Pick values and the command line writes itself, quoted and ready to paste.

05For agents

Running this from an agent

  • Read the same facts as JSON: p202 commands user create --json.
  • With AI_AGENT, CLAUDECODE or another agent variable set, output is compact JSON and errors arrive on stderr as a JSON envelope with a hint.
  • Exit codes: 0 ok, 1 bad input, 2 auth, 3 network, 4 server error, 5 partial failure.
  • This command writes. Add --staged to record it as a proposal a person applies with p202 change apply.
