# Glossary

> Plain-language definitions of the main words used in Mythos.

Short definitions for terms you may see in the product or these guides.

## Account

Your identity for signing in to Mythos. The account can belong to a workspace and have access to
projects. Application accounts created in an app you build are separate from your Mythos account.
See [Signing in](/introduction/sign-in).

## Workspace

The shared space that groups projects, members, billing, credits, and team settings. Workspace
owners and admins manage its shared rules. See [People and permissions](/features/people-and-permissions).

## Project

One app you are creating in Mythos, with its code, conversation, preview, generated files, settings,
and version history. A project belongs to a workspace.

## Project workspace

The screen where you work on a project. It brings together chat, Preview, Code, Files, and project
tools. See [Dashboard and workspace](/introduction/dashboard-overview).

## Build

A request that creates or changes an app, uses a connected tool, or produces a deliverable. Describe
the outcome you want, then review the result. A request that only produces a file does not need to
change the app's code. See [Build with Mythos](/features/building-and-editing).

## Plan mode

A conversation for investigating a question or shaping work before building. Mythos can prepare an
editable plan while leaving project code unchanged. Approve the plan when you are ready to build.
See [Plan mode](/features/plan-mode).

## Knowledge

Saved instructions and context for future Builds. Workspace knowledge applies across projects;
project knowledge adds the details of one app. See [Knowledge](/features/knowledge).

## Skill

A named set of instructions for a repeatable task. Invoke a custom workspace skill with its exact
`/skill-name` in a Build prompt. Built-in skills provide Mythos's own task guidance.
See [Skills](/features/skills).

## Room

A project's conversation space for people collaborating on the app. It is separate from the chat
where you ask Mythos to build. See [People and permissions](/features/people-and-permissions).

## Preview

The working version of the app inside Mythos. Use it to check a delivered change before publishing.

## Version

A saved point in the project's code history. You can inspect an earlier version and revert to it
without removing later history. A code revert does not roll back database records or actions
already completed in an external service. See [Version history](/features/version-history).

## Generated file

A downloadable output, such as a report, spreadsheet, chart, or image, held in the project's
**Files** area. It is separate from the website's source files and from prompt attachments.
See [Generated files](/features/files-and-artifacts).

## Publish

Make the reviewed version available at a public web address. Later changes stay in Preview until
you publish an update. Publishing does not invite visitors to edit the project.
See [Publish your site](/publishing/publish).

## Template

A ready-made project you can preview and remix as your own starting point. Your copy can be edited
independently. See [Templates](/features/templates).

## Connector and connection

A connector is the available integration with a service. A connection is the account or credential
you have set up for that service. A project link controls which project may use a shared connection.
Connecting a tool for Build does not automatically add its behavior to your published app.
See [Connect your tools](/integrations/introduction).

## Managed Supabase backend

A backend in your own Supabase organization for an app's database, accounts, storage, and server
functions. Mythos can create and manage a dedicated backend for the project after you connect the
organization. The project's **Cloud** view provides backend controls.
See [Managed Supabase](/integrations/supabase).

## Row-level security

Database rules that decide which records a user may read or change. For example, a customer may
read their own reservations but not another customer's reservations.
See [Row-level security](/integrations/supabase#row-level-security).

## GitHub

An optional connection for keeping one selected project branch synchronized with a private
repository in your GitHub account or organization. See [Connect GitHub](/integrations/github).
