+%description
+CliFM is a Command Line Interface File Manager: all input and interaction
+is performed via commands. This is its main feature and strength.
+
+Unlike most terminal file managers out there, indeed, CliFM replaces the
+traditional TUI interface (also known as curses or text-menu based
+interface) by a command-line interface (CLI),1 also known as REPL.2
+
+If working with the command-line, your workflow is not affected at all,
+but just enriched with file management functionalities: automatic files
+listing, files selection, bookmarks, tags, directory jumper, directory and
+commands history, auto-cd and auto-open, bulk rename, TAB completion,
+autosuggestions, and a trash system, among other features. In this sense,
+CliFM is certainly a file manager, but also a shell extension.
+
+Briefly put, with CliFM the command-line is always already there, never
+hidden.
