 Pass multiple `--policy` flags to test how several files combine, and use `--pretty` for formatted JSON output. See the [`codex-rs/execpolicy` README](../codex-rs/execpolicy/README.md) for a more detailed walkthrough of the available syntax.
 
+Example output when a rule matches:
+
+```json
+{
+  "matchedRules": [
+    {
+      "prefixRuleMatch": {
+        "matchedPrefix": ["git", "push"],
+        "decision": "prompt"
+      }
+    }
+  ],
+  "decision": "prompt"
+}
+```
+
+When no rules match, `matchedRules` is an empty array and `decision` is omitted.
+
+```json
+{
+  "matchedRules": [],
+}
+
