+description: Generate a plain chain specification and optional artifacts for your chain.
+---
+
+# Build you Chain Spec
+
+The chain specification ("chain spec") captures the initial state and configuration of your chain. Nodes use it to start
+a network or to join and sync with an existing one. With Pop CLI you can generate a plain chain spec interactively or
+non‑interactively, and optionally produce extra artifacts such as genesis state and wasm code, and even inject a
+deterministically built runtime.
+
+## Interactive walkthrough
+
+Run the command without arguments to be guided through all choices:
+
+```bash
+pop build spec
+```
+
+This will prompt you for key values like output file name, parachain id, relay chain, chain type, protocol id,
+properties, whether to generate genesis files, and whether to build and inject a deterministic runtime.
+
+
+
+> Tip: You can press Tab to accept defaults and type to filter list selections.
+
+### What you’ll typically provide
+
+- Output file name/path for the plain spec (default: ./chain-spec.json)
+- Parachain ID (default: 2000)
+- Chain type (Development / Local / Live)
+- Relay chain (paseo, westend, kusama, polkadot and their local variants)
+- Protocol ID and optional properties (token symbol/decimals/SS58)
+- Whether to also generate genesis state and genesis code files
+- Optional: Build the runtime deterministically and inject it into the spec
+
+## Non‑interactive usage
+
+Prefer to skip prompts? Provide flags up front.
+
+```bash
+# Minimal example: write a plain chain spec
+pop build spec -o ./chain-spec.json
+
+# Provide basics explicitly
+pop build spec -o ./chain-spec.json \
+ --id 2000 \
+ --type Local \
+ --relay paseo \
+ --protocol-id my-protocol \
+ --properties "tokenSymbol=UNIT,decimals=12"
+
+# Include build profile, features, and skip building binaries (if already built)
+pop build spec -o ./chain-spec.json \
+ --profile release \
+ --features foo,bar \
+ --skip-build
+
+# Also generate genesis state and wasm code files alongside the spec
+pop build spec -o ./chain-spec.json \
+ --genesis-state \
+ --genesis-code
+```
+
+### Deterministic runtime build and injection (optional)
+
+Pop CLI can build your runtime deterministically using srtool and inject the resulting wasm code into the chain spec
+generation flow.
+
+```bash
+# Minimal deterministic build example
+pop build spec --deterministic --runtime ./runtime/mainnet
+
+# Optionally specify the runtime package name used by srtool
+# note: --package is only applicable when --deterministic is set
+pop build spec --deterministic --runtime ./runtime/mainnet --package parachain-template-runtime
+```
+
+Notes about flags:
+
+- You can now pass --runtime without --deterministic to pre-select the runtime directory for the command. This alone
+ will not trigger a deterministic build you must add --deterministic to enable srtool.
+- The --package flag is available to explicitly set the runtime package name when doing a deterministic build; if
+ omitted, Pop CLI will infer it from the runtime directory.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Omni-node-based chains: If your chain uses the community `polkadot-omni-node` host (ships only a runtime), you can still
+use `pop build spec` the same way. Deterministic builds are recommended; Pop can also auto-source the
+`polkadot-omni-node` binary when needed in related workflows.
+
+## Outputs
+
+Depending on the flags used you’ll get:
+
+- A plain chain spec JSON.
+- Optionally, a raw chain spec JSON.
+- Optionally, a genesis state file.
+- Optionally, a genesis wasm code file.

pop call chain
```
-You will be prompted to select a pallet, the dispatchable function and its required arguments, connection details for the chain, and the account to sign the transaction.
+First, you will be prompted to select which chain you want to interact with from a list of available chains. You can *
+*type to filter** the list and quickly find your desired chain. If you want to connect to a custom RPC endpoint, select
+the **"Custom"** option, which allows you to manually type the chain URL.
-
pop call chain
+After selecting your chain, you will be prompted to select a pallet, then choose what you want to do with that pallet:
+
+- **Execute an extrinsic** (dispatchable function)
+- **Query storage** items
+- **Read constant** values
+
+After making your selection, you'll be guided through providing any required arguments and (for extrinsics) the account
+to sign the transaction.
+
+### What Can You Do?
+
+The `pop call chain` command supports three types of operations:
+
+#### 1. Execute Extrinsics
+
+Submit transactions to the chain by calling dispatchable functions. These require signing and will modify chain state.
+
+#### 2. Query Storage
+
+Read storage items from the chain's state. Storage queries don't require signing and can read:
+
+- **Plain storage values** (e.g., System::Number - the current block number)
+- **Storage maps** (e.g., System::Account - account information by address)
+
+#### 3. Read Constants
+
+Access constant values defined in the runtime metadata (e.g., System::Version, System::BlockHashCount).
### Manual (non-interactive)
If you prefer not to use interactive prompts, you can call the chain by specifying all the required arguments directly:
+#### Executing an Extrinsic
+
+You can execute an extrinsic by specifying the pallet and function (dispatchable function name) and any arguments.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you receive "Pallet not found" or "Function not found" errors, double-check the case of your pallet and function
+> names. Common examples: use "Balances" (not "balances"), "transfer_keep_alive" (not "transferKeepAlive").
+
```shell
-pop call chain --pallet System --function remark --args "0x11" --url ws://localhost:9944/ --suri //Alice --skip-confirm
+pop call chain --pallet System --function remark --args "0x11" --url ws://localhost:9944 --suri //Alice --sudo
```
+
+
+#### Querying Storage
+
+You can query storage items by specifying the pallet and function (storage item name).
+Storage queries return the current value immediately without requiring transaction signing.
+
+```shell
+pop call chain --pallet Sudo --function Key --url wss://pas-rpc.stakeworld.io -y

```
-#### Additional Options
+
+
+#### Reading Constants
-* To dispatch a call with Root origin when the chain's runtime includes `pallet-sudo`, you can wrap the call in a `sudo.sudo()` call by using the `--sudo` flag:
+Query constant values from the runtime.
+Constants are read directly from metadata and don't require signing or keys.

+#### Using Wallet for Signing

+```
+
+Or use the shorthand `-w`:

```
+#### Skip Confirmation
+
+Use the `--skip-confirm` or `-y` flag to automatically submit extrinsics without prompting for confirmation. This also
+prevents the prompt to perform another call:
+
+```shell
+pop call chain --pallet System --function remark --args "0x11" --url ws://localhost:9944/ --suri //Alice -y
+```
+
+This is particularly useful for scripting and automation.
+
+#### Quick URL Entry
+
+When prompted for a chain, you can select "Custom" to quickly type the chain URL manually, accelerating the process when
+you already know the endpoint.
+
+### Interactive Features
+
+When using the interactive mode, you'll experience:
+
+- **Predefined Actions**: Quick access to common operations like creating assets, transferring balances, etc.
+- **Filtered Selection**: Type to filter through pallets and functions for faster navigation
+- **Visual Indicators**: Clear labels showing whether an item is an `[EXTRINSIC]`, `[STORAGE]`, or `[CONSTANT]`
+- **Documentation**: Inline documentation for each pallet and function
+- **Repeat Calls**: After completing an operation, you'll be asked if you want to perform another call (unless
+ `--skip-confirm` is used)
+
+### Examples
+
+#### Example 1: Query Current Block Number
