// context detail-viewer

—explain

Asks the AI to explain the current log entry in plain language — what it means, why it might have occurred, and what part of the system it relates to. Useful when a log message is cryptic or unfamiliar.

Syntax

--explain

Usage

Open a log in the detail viewer, then run:

--explain

The AI reads the full log and returns a clear explanation without jargon.

Requirements

  • Must be used from the detail viewer (open a log first)
  • Requires a plan with AI features enabled

Notes

  • Scoped to detail-viewer — not available in the main filter bar
  • Complements --investigate: use --explain to understand the log, --investigate to find the root cause
  • Executes on submit
// related
