Explain $ARGUMENTS clearly.

Format

1. One-sentence summary

What does it do and why does it exist? One sentence.

2. Mental model

Give an analogy or metaphor that captures the core idea. Relate it to something the developer already knows.

3. Visual diagram

Draw an ASCII diagram showing the data/control flow. Keep it readable:

Input → [Step A] → [Step B] → Output
              ↓
         [Side Effect]

4. Key details

Walk through the important parts. Skip the obvious — focus on:

• Non-obvious decisions (why this approach?)
• Edge cases and gotchas
• Dependencies and side effects

5. How to modify it

What would someone need to know to safely change this code? Where are the landmines?
