+### The `ACL GETUSER` Command
 
-The [`ACL GETUSER`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/acl-getuser/) is used to retrieve the properties the specified user. In Redis, the `default` user is present from the start, without having to create it explicitly.
+The [`ACL GETUSER`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/acl-getuser/) command retrieves the properties of a specified user. In Redis, the `default` user is present from the start and does not need to be created.
 
-The `ACL GETUSER` returns multiple properties of the user, among which `flags` is one. In this stage, you'll add support for responding to the `ACL GETUSER` command with only the flags property.
+For example:
 
-Example usage:
 ```bash
 > ACL GETUSER default
 1) "flags"
 2) (empty array)
+...
 ```
 
-The second element of the resposne is the flags array. This is because a user can have multiple flags associated with it. In this stage, you can hardcode the flags array to be an empty array.
+The return value is nested RESP array of property name-value pairs for a user:
+
+```bash
+[property_name_1, property_value_1, property_name_2, property_value_2, ...]
+```
+
+For this stage, you'll implement just the `flags` property. 
+
+### The `flags` Property
+
+The `flags` property represents a set of attributes that describe how a user behaves or what special permissions they have. Each flag is a short label that defines part of the user’s configuration.
+
+For example, after creating or modifying a user, the flags array might look like this:
+
+```bash
+> ACL GETUSER alice
+1) "flags"
+2) 1) "on"
+   2) "allkeys"
+   3) "allcommands"
+```
+
+For this stage, since the `default` user has no `flags` to report yet, you will hardcode the value to be an empty RESP array (`[]`).
