+# coq-lsp / Flèche plugins
+
+Easiest way to use plugins is
+
+```
+$ fcc --root=dir --plugin=coq-lsp.plugin.$name file.v
+```
+
+- `example`: prints a "this file was checked" message
+- `astdump`: dumps the Ast of the document, in both sexp and JSON
+  formats
+- `goaldump`: dumps the Ast of the document in JSON format, along with
+  the goals at that state.
