An open-source dictionary that explains AI coding jargon (tokens, context windows, agents, MCP, hallucination, etc.) in plain English. It is a curated educational reference site generated from markdown entries, not a software library.
Use cases
- learn what a context window is
- understand AI coding jargon in plain English
- explain tokens and context to my team
- look up what MCP means
- understand why my AI coding bill is so high
- onboard developers to AI-assisted coding terminology
When to choose
- you are new to AI-assisted coding and confused by the vocabulary
- you want a free, plain-English reference for LLM and agent terms
- you need to onboard a team to AI coding concepts quickly
When to avoid
- you need a software library or tool to integrate into your codebase
- you want deep technical training or hands-on tutorials rather than definitions
- you need authoritative academic definitions rather than practitioner explanations
