## Sample prompt: Test access as three people (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor)

```
Here is the access table [paste]. Write a test script that tries to read and change one record in each table as owner, other user and signed out, and prints pass or fail per cell.
Do not change any rules. Show me the output.
```

One wrong cell is a stop.

# The six backend jobs and the access table (free sample)

A free sample from Backends for Agent-Built Apps by PaperChaseWebb. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any coding agent.

When you ask an agent to "add a backend", you are asking for six jobs. Name them, or it will build the two it finds interesting.

## The six jobs

| Job | Plain question it answers | What breaks when it is missing |
|---|---|---|
| Store | Where does the data live, and does it survive a restart? | Data vanishes, or lives only in one browser |
| Identify | Who is this person? | Anyone can claim to be anyone |
| Allow | What is this person allowed to read and change? | One user reads another user's records |
| Hold secrets | Where do the keys to paid services live? | A key leaks and someone else spends on it |
| React | What happens when an outside service calls in? | Charges with no order, or one order per retry |
| Run later | What runs on a schedule or after the request ends? | Emails never go out, reports never get built |
````

## Worth knowing

- Access rule syntax differs by service. Check your service's current docs.
