Query scopes allow you to define common filters directly in your models.
    
    ## Define a scope
    
    ```php
    public function scopePublished($query) {
      return $query->where('status', 'published');
    }
    ```
    
    ## Use it
    
    ```php
    $posts = Post::published()->latest()->get();
    ```
    
    Scopes keep controllers clean and logic centralized.
