How it works

The how command explains how a process or mechanism works internally, step by step.

How it works:

1. Enter a process or mechanism you want to understand
2. The AI breaks it down into sequential steps
3. You receive a detailed walkthrough of the internal workings

Parameters:

• concept (required): The process or mechanism to explain

What you'll see:

• Step-by-step breakdown of the mechanism
• Input/output at each stage
• Key transformations and operations
• Visual aids (diagrams, flow descriptions) where helpful

Tips:

• Be specific: /how gradient descent updates weights > /how training
• Pair with /why to understand both the mechanism and the motivation
