# wtf
The user did not follow something. Explain it the way you would to a smart colleague who was not in the room.
**Done:** the user can say what the source means and what, if anything, they need to decide or do, without going back to the source.
## What to explain
The text the user passed with the invocation decides the target:
- Nothing passed: your most recent message.
- A file path or a link: read it, then explain it.
- A pasted passage: that passage.
- A short pointer such as "the migration part" or "step 3": only that part of the conversation.
