Plain English

A route only logged-in users can reach. Picture it like this: A staff-only door. 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.

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 route only logged-in users can reach. A staff-only door. Ask yourself: where does this live in the database, which function changes it, and which screen shows it?
