Can I use my own preferred technologies with this skill?

Absolutely. The skill explicitly asks for your technology preferences and experience level during the constraint-gathering phase to ensure the final recommendation respects your expertise.

What kind of output does the skill generate?

The skill generates a standardized markdown file at docs/tech/stack.md that documents the chosen frontend, backend, database, and infrastructure, along with the reasoning for each decision.

Does this skill require a PRD to function?

Yes, the Tech Stack Decision skill requires an existing Product Requirements Document (typically located at docs/prd/prd.md) to ensure recommendations align with the project's actual needs.

Is this skill suitable for solo indie developers?

Yes, the skill is designed to match your team size. For solo projects, it defaults to simpler, high-productivity stacks unless specific complex requirements are identified.

Developer Tools

Recommends and documents optimal technology stacks based on product requirements, team constraints, and developer experience.

This skill streamlines the architectural decision-making process by analyzing your Project Requirements Document (PRD) to suggest the most efficient frameworks, databases, and infrastructure. It evaluates factors like platform target, team size, and existing expertise to provide opinionated recommendations that adhere to YAGNI principles, ensuring you don't over-engineer while maintaining scalability. By the end of the process, it generates a structured technical foundation that bridges the gap between product requirements and system implementation.
