-//! Lightning exposes sets of supported operations through "feature flags". This module includes
-//! types to store those feature flags and query for specific flags.
+//! Feature flag definitions for the Lightning protocol according to [BOLT #9].
+//!
+//! Lightning nodes advertise a supported set of operation through feature flags. Features are
+//! applicable for a specific context as indicated in some [messages]. [`Features`] encapsulates
+//! behavior for specifying and checking feature flags for a particular context. Each feature is
+//! defined internally by a trait specifying the corresponding flags (i.e., even and odd bits). A
+//! [`Context`] is used to parameterize [`Features`] and defines which features it can support.
