atmos stack describe [flags]
```

## Flags

- **`--stack` / `-s`** — Select a stack to describe.
- **`--components`** — Filter by component names, separated by commas.
- **`--sections`** — Include only the named configuration sections.
- **`--format`** — Select YAML or JSON output.

See [`atmos describe stacks`](/cli/commands/describe/stacks) for the complete flag reference.
