man
man - Enhanced Manual Page Viewer
The man module extends the standard system manual capabilities by adding interactive browsing via FZF and integrating with AI services like ManKier to explain complex command strings.
When to Activate
- When the user wants to search for man pages using keywords.
- When an interactive list of all system man pages is required.
- When the user needs an AI to explain the meaning of specific command flags (e.g.,
tar -czvf). - When a quick community reference (TLDR style) is needed for a command via
x man :keyword.
Core Principles & Rules
- Interactive Search: Use
--fzffor a searchable TUI experience. - AI Explanation: Leverage the
--explainflag to breakdown complex commands into readable summaries. - Hybrid Support: Support for accessing TLDR content directly from within the
mancommand using the:prefix.
Patterns & Examples
Fuzzy Search Manuals
# Interactively choose from all system manual pages
x man --fzf
AI Command Explanation
# Use AI to explain exactly what these tar flags do
x man --explain "tar -czvf"
Quick TLDR Style
# View the simplified TLDR reference for ssh
x man :ssh
Checklist
- Confirm if the user needs the full manual or just a quick explanation.
- Verify if the command string for explanation is complete.
