Ask for architecture first
Get the plan and data shape before any code.
Difficulty 2/5
Short
Plain English
Get the plan and data shape before any code. Picture it like this: Blueprints before bricks. In the apps you ship (Agentify, wedding portals, CRM), you will bump into this on almost every screen — name it clearly when you prompt your coding agent.
Analogy
Blueprints before bricks.

Get the plan and data shape before any code.
Common mistakes
- Letting the AI rename this concept three different ways in one PR.
- Building UI before you can say what is stored and who can change it.
AI-agent trap
Agents may invent jargon here. Ask them to explain the concept in plain English first, then map it to your schema and one real screen.
Summary
Get the plan and data shape before any code. Blueprints before bricks. Ask yourself: where does this live in the database, which function changes it, and which screen shows it?
