mankier - Online Manual Page Queries & Explanation
The mankier module provides a CLI interface for the ManKier.com API, allowing users to search, browse, and explain manual pages directly from the web without local installation.
When to Activate
- When the user needs a detailed breakdown of a shell command's flags and arguments.
- When searching for manual pages that are not installed on the local system.
- When retrieving specific sections (e.g., NAME, DESCRIPTION) of a manual page.
- When following cross-references between different manual pages.
Core Principles & Rules
- Remote Accuracy: Uses the latest online documentation from ManKier.com.
- Granular Retrieval: Supports fetching specific sections using the
sectionsubcommand. - Command breakdown: Prioritize the
explainsubcommand for translating technical flags into human-readable text.
Patterns & Examples
Command Breakdown
# Explain the meaning of flags in a jq command
x mankier explain jq -cr
Fetch Section
# Retrieve only the NAME section of the tar manual
x mankier section NAME tar
Web Search Integration
# Search ManKier via DuckDuckGo for NVMe related pages
x mankier : nvme
Checklist
- Confirm the command or flag the user needs explained.
- Verify if a specific section of the manual is required.
- Ensure the user is aware the data is fetched from an online source.

pufferlib
High-performance reinforcement learning framework optimized for speed and scale. Use when you need fast parallel training, vectorized environments, multi-agent systems, or integration with game environments (Atari, Procgen, NetHack). Achieves 2-10x speedups over standard implementations. For quick prototyping or standard algorithm implementations with extensive documentation, use stable-baselines3 instead.
