Short
Plain English

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
A server is a computer that always listens for requests. A 24/7 reception desk. Ask yourself: where does this live in the database, which function changes it, and which screen shows it?
