Devflow Explain
Use this when the maintainer asks what a development term means, especially
when agent output used jargon such as toast notification, middleware, route,
state management, modal, or responsive layout.
Workflow
- Preserve the exact term the maintainer asked about.
- Include the surrounding project context or agent sentence when available.
- Run
devflow explain "<term>" --json --context "<project context>". If the
executable is not installed, use node packages/cli/src/index.js explain.
- Explain in plain language first, then say why it matters in this project and
how the maintainer can verify the behavior.
- If the term is not in the built-in glossary, say that clearly and ask for the
file, command output, or agent message where the term appeared.
Output
Return:
- plain language meaning
- project context
- why it matters
- how to verify it
- related terms if useful
Do not turn the answer into a general course. Explain the term at the point of
work.
