# Terminal Conext

> Add terminal output, error messages, and command results as context to DinoAI directly from your terminal. Highlight terminal content and send it to chat with your specific instructions.

export const Arcade = ({src, title}) => <div style={{
  position: 'relative',
  paddingBottom: 'calc(56.2225% + 41px)',
  height: 0,
  width: '100%'
}}>
    <iframe src={src} title={title} frameBorder="0" loading="lazy" allow="clipboard-write" allowFullScreen style={{
  position: 'absolute',
  top: 0,
  left: 0,
  width: '100%',
  height: '100%',
  colorScheme: 'light'
}} />
  </div>;

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.

<Info>
  **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
