Stack Baseline
avelikiy/great_ctoThe pinned default technology stack for SMB Product-Builder products. One source of truth so the architect, app-scaffolder, auth-engineer, and senior-dev never re-decide the stack per build — they build ON it. Covers framework, ORM/DB, auth, UI, payments/email/SMS, files, jobs, testing, hosting, and observability, with the chosen default + the one sanctioned alternative for each. Applied whenever a new product is scaffolded or a stack choice would otherwise be improvised. Re-deciding the stack every build is the biggest silent time sink; this kills it.
At a glance
This skill is for Coding and helps you standardize technology choices across new products, prevent redundant stack decisions during scaffolding, and document approved framework and infrastructure options.
