description	Explain development, UI, web, git, testing, deployment, or agent terms in plain language using the current project context.

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

1. Preserve the exact term the maintainer asked about.
2. Include the surrounding project context or agent sentence when available.
3. Run devflow explain "<term>" --json --context "<project context>". If the executable is not installed, use node packages/cli/src/index.js explain.
4. Explain in plain language first, then say why it matters in this project and how the maintainer can verify the behavior.
5. 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.
