+  --query='sum(foobar)' \

+
+`--server` and `--disco` are mutually exclusive. `--visualize` requires `--query`, and `--horizon` requires `--visualize`. Supported horizon values are `6h`, `1d`, `3d`, `1w`, and `30d`. `--context` and `--kubeconfig` are forwarded to every `kubectl` invocation made by the metrics command. A value passed through `--filter` remains editable in the metric browser. Before generated resources are printed, the CLI offers to open a line-numbered YAML editor; `--print` skips this final question and prints directly.
+
+The metrics explorer:
+
+- discovers Prometheus services and Mimir gateways from the active kubeconfig using common labels and can manage a temporary `kubectl port-forward`; Mimir API requests use its `/prometheus` prefix and `X-Scope-OrgID: kedify-agent`;
+- retrieves metric names with the `{__name__=~".+"}` selector;
+- supports arrow and Page Up/Page Down navigation, plus case-insensitive substring filtering as you type;
+- shows label names and values as you drill into a metric;
+- starts from a single-series `sum(metric{label="value"})` expression and lets you edit and validate the final PromQL;
+- can graph the last 6 hours, day, 3 days, week, or month of samples in the terminal, using a range-appropriate Prometheus query step;
+- generates a `kedify-otel` `ScaledObject` with a default target value of `1`, and prompts for its scale target;
+- generates a `MetricPredictor` with a one-week Prometheus range at a `30s` step so it has historical samples for initial training;
+- prints the selected resource manifests by default and only runs `kubectl create` when the creation checkbox is enabled and a final review of the exact YAML, active Kubernetes context, and target namespace is confirmed.
+
+Interactive terminal UX, progress, and optional creation confirmations are written to `stderr`. If no resource manifest is selected, the completed PromQL expression is printed to `stdout`; otherwise, the generated YAML is printed to `stdout`.

 Notes for `apply recommendations`:
 
 - The command is Helm-only in v1.
