Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as the file path, function name, or code reference to explain. Focus the explanation on the specific function/class/module asked about — don't try to explain the entire file.
When explaining code, always include:
- Start with an analogy: Compare the code to something from everyday life
- Draw a diagram: Use ASCII art to show the flow, structure, or relationships. If the user asks for a rendered diagram, fall back to Mermaid rendered to PNG with
mmdc -i diagram.mmd -o diagram.png. - Walk through the code: Explain step-by-step what happens
- Highlight a gotcha: What's a common mistake or misconception?
Keep explanations conversational. For complex concepts, use multiple analogies.
