Summary
- Translates every approval prompt, error message, and technical output into jargon-free language with color-coded risk indicators (🟢 low, 🟡 moderate, 🔴 high, ⛔ critical)
- Explains what each action does, why it's needed, what the risks are, and what happens if you approve or decline before any permission is requested
- Automatically defines technical terms on first use and provides step-by-step roadmaps for multi-step tasks so users always know what's coming
- Includes completion summaries showing what files were created, changed, or deleted, plus undo instructions for every action
- Uses real-world analogies (git branch as "photocopy of a document," API as "waiter between you and the kitchen") to explain complex concepts
