# Terminal Conext

Terminal Context lets you highlight any terminal output and add it directly to DinoAI as context for debugging, learning, and getting help with command-line operations.

**Example Use Cases**

* Add error messages from failed dbt commands for debugging help
* Learn what specific commands, warnings, or outputs mean
* Share command output for optimization suggestions
  {% endhint %}

#### How to Use Terminal Context

1. **Highlight the terminal content** you want to add as context in your terminal
2. **Right-click and select "Add to Chat"** to send the selected content to DinoAI
3. **Add your prompt** describing what you want DinoAI to do with the terminal output

**Best Practices**

1. **Include complete error messages** that contain enough context for DinoAI to understand the issue
2. **Be specific in your prompts** about what you want DinoAI to do with the terminal output
3. **Add relevant command context** when selecting output to show what command produced the result
4. **Use for targeted questions** about specific terminal output rather than general command-line help

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.paradime.io/app-help/products/dino-ai/copilot/context/terminal-conext.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
