# Use IaC custom rules with CLI

How to use Snyk IaC custom rules with the CLI

{% hint style="info" %}
Ensure you have followed the steps in [Getting Started with the SDK](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/current-iac-custom-rules/writing-rules-using-the-sdk.md) to learn how to generate a bundle of your rules.
{% endhint %}

With Snyk IaC, you can test your configuration files with the CLI using your custom rules.

There are two ways to use your built bundle:

* [Using a local custom rules bundle](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/current-iac-custom-rules/use-iac-custom-rules-with-cli/use-a-local-iac-custom-rules-bundle.md) stored on your disk.
* [Using a remote custom rules bundle](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/current-iac-custom-rules/use-iac-custom-rules-with-cli/use-a-remote-iac-custom-rules-bundle.md) by configuring a remote OCI Registry, where your custom rules bundle is already stored.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/current-iac-custom-rules/use-iac-custom-rules-with-cli.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
