That's it. That's the whole name section. Short queen energy. πŸ‘‘

Three little arguments. That's the whole vibe check. Take them exactly as written, bestie β€” physical_figure, then instance, then output_name. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

flatph FLATen PHysical figure

Fr fr that is literally the entire description in the original. It's giving "the tool explains itself." Basically the name of the command is the description of the command, and honestly? Iconic. Lowkey a main character move to just... not elaborate. 😭
