# Explain
This command provides context-aware explanations for code, errors, and stack traces.
## Usage
- `/core:explain file.php:45` - Explain code at a specific line.
- `/core:explain error "error message"` - Explain a given error.
- `/core:explain stack "stack trace"` - Explain a given stack trace.
## Code Explanation (`file:line`)
When a file path and line number are provided, follow these steps:
1. **Read the file**: Read the contents of the specified file.
2. **Extract context**: Extract a few lines of code before and after the specified line number to understand the context.
3. **Analyze the code**: Analyze the extracted code block to understand its purpose and functionality.
4. **Provide an explanation**: Provide a clear and concise explanation of the code, including its role in the overall application.
## Error Explanation (`error`)
When an error message is provided, follow these- steps:
1. **Analyze the error**: Parse the error message to identify the key components, such as the error type and location.
2. **Identify the cause**: Based on the error message and your understanding of the codebase, determine the root cause of the error.
3. **Suggest a fix**: Provide a clear and actionable fix for the error, including code snippets where appropriate.
4. **Link to documentation**: If applicable, provide links to relevant documentation that can help the user understand the error and the suggested fix.
## Stack Trace Explanation (`stack`)
When a stack trace is provided, follow these steps:
1. **Parse the stack trace**: Break down the stack trace into individual function calls, including the file path and line number for each call.
2. **Analyze the call stack**: Analyze the sequence of calls to understand the execution flow that led to the current state.
3. **Identify the origin**: Pinpoint the origin of the error or the relevant section of the stack trace.
4. **Provide an explanation**: Explain the sequence of events in the stack trace in a clear and understandable way.
