# Terminal Context

> Highlight terminal output, error messages, or command results in the Paradime IDE and send them to DinoAI as chat context for debugging and command-line help.

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
