# Proof Generation

## Create a task

To generate a proof, you need to create a task. The input for this task should be in JSON format. You can provide this either as a JSON string using `--json` or as a path to a JSON file using `--file`.

In your project's root directory, execute the following command:

```bash
snarkify task create --json {input_of_your_proof}
```

After successfully executing this command, it will display `snarkify task info {task_id}`, which you can use to check the status of your task and retrieve the proof later.

## Query a task

To check the status of your task and access the proof once it's successfully completed, use the `snarkify task info` command. Here's an example of the output:

```
┌──────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

└──────────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

For more detailed information about the task, including the proof in the result field, use the `-d` flag.
