Glossary

Every word our Academy and manuals use, in plain language — no jargon to decode. Each term links to where it's explained, so you can jump straight to it.

Want it the other way round — where a term appears, not where it's defined? See the index (rejstřík).

AI & agents

AI agent

A program you instruct in plain words that does the computer work for you — writes the page, runs the command, builds the flow. You direct; it builds.→ lesson

prompt

What you type to the agent — your instruction. The clearer and more specific, the better the result.→ lesson

skill

A reusable, packaged ability you can give an agent — a recipe it follows for a repeated task, so you don't re-explain it each time.→ lesson

model (Sonnet / Opus / Haiku)

The "brain" behind the agent. Lighter models are faster and cheaper (good for routine work); stronger ones reason better (for the hard parts).→ manuals

token / limit

How AI usage is measured and capped on your plan. Hit a limit and you wait for it to reset — or move to a bigger plan.

Computer basics

terminal (command line)

A text box where you type a command and the computer runs it. You only need a handful of moves.→ manual

command

One instruction you type into the terminal — a tool, its options, and what it acts on, e.g. brew install git.→ manual

keyboard shortcut

A key combo that does something instantly — e.g. select & copy the last output to paste it to the agent.→ manual

Homebrew

The package manager for macOS — installs and updates free tools with one command each.→ manual

error / stack trace

The computer telling you exactly what stopped it. Not a scolding — copy it, paste it to the agent, get a fix.→ lesson

ASCII / diacritics

Plain letters without accents. Names of folders, repos and files are written in ASCII with hyphens (no háčky/čárky); page titles can keep accents.→ lesson

Code & git

git

A time machine for your project — it saves snapshots you can always return to.→ manual

repository (repo)

Your project folder, tracked by git.→ manual

commit

A saved snapshot of your work, with a short note on what changed — the best undo button there is.→ manual

push

Sending your commits up to GitHub. On our setup, a push is also what triggers the site to rebuild.→ manual

GitHub / GitHub Desktop

Where your repos live online. GitHub Desktop lets you commit and push with buttons, no terminal.→ manual

Web & hosting

deploy

Publishing your site so it's live on the internet. With us it happens automatically on every push.→ lesson

Cloudflare Pages

Hosting that builds and serves a static site straight from your git repo — a new build on every push.→ manual

Cloudflare Workers

Small serverless functions at the edge — APIs, redirects, the dynamic bits of a site.→ manual

custom domain / DNS

Attaching your own web address to a site. DNS is the address book of the internet; mind email records (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) when you change it.→ manual

slug

The tidy, lowercase, hyphenated version of a name used in URLs and folders, e.g. www-ahoj-petre.→ lesson

localization (i18n)

Adapting a site to another language and audience — not just translation, but tone, formality and conventions the source can't carry.

Automation

automation / flow

A "when this happens, do that" chain — usually trigger → AI brain → action.→ lesson

n8n

The tool we build automations in — each step is a "node" you connect with a line.→ lesson

trigger / webhook

What starts a flow — a form submission, an email, a time of day. A webhook is a URL that kicks it off.→ lesson

forms gateway

Our building block for putting a working, spam-protected contact form on any site.→ manual
