Difficulty 2/5
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

Forgetting a required field is a TS error. Trying to file a tax return without a name. Ask yourself: where does this live in the database, which function changes it, and which screen shows it?
