# AGSynthesisClifford

*class* `qiskit.transpiler.passes.synthesis.high_level_synthesis.AGSynthesisClifford`

[GitHub](https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/1.2/qiskit/transpiler/passes/synthesis/high_level_synthesis.py#L741-L751)

Bases: [`HighLevelSynthesisPlugin`](/docs/api/qiskit/1.2/qiskit.transpiler.passes.synthesis.plugin.HighLevelSynthesisPlugin "qiskit.transpiler.passes.synthesis.plugin.HighLevelSynthesisPlugin")

Clifford synthesis plugin based on the Aaronson-Gottesman method.

This plugin name is :`clifford.ag` which can be used as the key on an [`HLSConfig`](/docs/api/qiskit/1.2/qiskit.transpiler.passes.HLSConfig "qiskit.transpiler.passes.synthesis.high_level_synthesis.HLSConfig") object to use this method with [`HighLevelSynthesis`](/docs/api/qiskit/1.2/qiskit.transpiler.passes.HighLevelSynthesis "qiskit.transpiler.passes.synthesis.high_level_synthesis.HighLevelSynthesis").

## Methods

### run

`run(high_level_object, coupling_map=None, target=None, qubits=None, **options)`

[GitHub](https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/1.2/qiskit/transpiler/passes/synthesis/high_level_synthesis.py#L748-L751)
