SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Choosing a technology stack for a greenfield project is slow and error-prone when done from memory or generic comparisons. This Skill turns a written PRD into a concrete starter recommendation by reasoning over a curated, language-aware starter registry, then writes a machine-readable hand-off file that a downstream bootstrapper consumes to scaffold the project. ## Core Features & Use Cases - PRD-driven recommendation: Reads context/foundation/prd.md frontmatter (product_type, target_scale, timeline_budget) and feature requirements as decision priors, refusing to run without the file on disk. - Two-path interview: Offers a standard path that accepts a vetted recommended default for the (product_type, language_family) cell, or a custom path that walks a full residual interview covering features, team profile, preferences, deployment, CI/CD, and a five-point self-check. - Quality-gated registry: Filters 25+ starter cards across JS, Python, Ruby, Java, Go, Rust, PHP, .NET, and Dart using four agent-friendly criteria (typed, convention-based, popular in training data, well-documented), with Socratic challenges when a user preference fails a gate. - Use Case: After finishing a PRD for a solo SaaS MVP, invoke the Skill to get a recommended starter (e.g., an Astro + Supabase + Cloudflare stack), confirm deployment and CI choices, and receive a context/foundation/tech-stack.md hand-off ready for scaffolding. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to pick a tech stack for the project based on the PRD at context/foundation/prd.md.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose a tech stack for a new project from a PRD?▼

Invoke the Skill after writing a PRD at context/foundation/prd.md. It reads the PRD's product type, scale, and timeline as priors, then either offers a vetted recommended starter for your product type and language family or walks a full interview to design a custom stack.

What starter frameworks does the tech stack selector support?▼

The registry covers 25+ starters across nine language families, including Next.js, Astro, T3, Hono, Fastify, Django, FastAPI, Rails, Spring Boot, Laravel, Go, Axum, Tauri, Flutter, Expo, and .NET. Each card carries quality-gate booleans, deployment defaults, and a bootstrapper confidence level.

Can I use the tech stack selector without a PRD file?▼

No. The Skill requires a PRD file on disk at context/foundation/prd.md (or a path passed as an argument) and refuses to run otherwise. It redirects you to the upstream shape and PRD skills first, and does not accept conversation history as a substitute.

What happens if my preferred framework fails the quality gates?▼

The Skill surfaces a Socratic challenge naming the failed criteria (typed, convention-based, popular in training data, or well-documented) and proposes the strongest passing alternative. You can still proceed with your pick; the hand-off records quality_override: true so the bootstrapper adds compensating conventions.

What is the difference between the standard and custom path?▼

The standard path accepts the registry's recommended default for your product type and language family, asking only about deployment, CI/CD, and project name. The custom path runs the full interview: feature audit, team profile, tech preferences, framework variant selection, and a five-point self-check before writing the hand-off.

What does the tech-stack.md hand-off file contain?▼

It contains YAML frontmatter with the chosen starter_id, package manager, kebab-case project name, and hints covering language family, team size, deployment target, CI provider, bootstrapper confidence, path taken, and feature flags, plus one short paragraph explaining the rationale.
