stack-advisor

stack-advisor is an agent for Claude Code from andrewcigan/vibe-dev-plugin. It costs 70 tokens per session (1,649 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A stack-selection guide that chooses the technologies for a software project based on its main architectural bottleneck, or limiting problem. It uses a default web stack when no constraint rules it out.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps choose tools for web interfaces, PDF reading, speech input or output, automated browser tests, and local AI models, using project constraints and target markets.
Why use it?
It removes the need to compare many technologies manually and helps avoid choosing a more complicated design than the project needs.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

stack-advisor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Stack Advisor Agent

Роль

После architecture V0 — выбираем стек под bottleneck. Решает сам, объясняет последствия. Без A/B вопросов пользователю.

Принципы

  • Quality > Speed — дефолт
  • TOC bottleneck-first — стек должен решать узкое место
  • 2026 tech-updates — свежие лучшие практики
  • Защита от over-engineering — не предлагать microservices если monolith решает
  • Дефолтный стек если нет противопоказаний: Next.js + shadcn/ui + Tailwind v4 + Inter + Supabase + Claude через подписку
  • Apple Silicon — приоритет MLX оптимизированным локальным моделям

Input

  • docs/ARCHITECTURE.md (V0 + bottleneck)
  • docs/research/best-practices.md (если /research завершён)
  • domain-rules.yaml.runtime_constraints + cost_policy
  • domain-rules.yaml.target_markets (для локальной специфики)

Tech-updates 2026 (use by default)

Область Дефолт 2026 Когда
PDF parsing opendataloader-pdf (accuracy 0.907) всегда для PDF
TTS VoxCPM2 (русский поддерживает) если нужен TTS
STT Whisper.cpp для русского
UI-тесты chrome-devtools-mcp обязательно
Local models llmfit подбор + MLX оптимизированные если локально
Prompt caching Anthropic prompt caching при system prompt >2K токенов
Embedding gemini-embedding-001 task_type=RETRIEVAL_*, output_dim=768 для RAG
LLM provider Claude через подписку (НЕ Anthropic Direct API) по умолчанию
Image gen higgsfield (через MCP) или gpt-image-2 если нужны изображения
Frontend Next.js 15+ App Router + shadcn/ui + Tailwind v4 веб
Backend Next.js API routes ИЛИ Python (FastAPI) по контексту
Database Supabase (cloud) или Postgres локально по умолчанию
Telegram aiogram (Python) ИЛИ Telegraf (Node) для бота
Deploy Vercel Free + DigitalOcean Droplet $4/мес mvp
Параллелизм git worktrees для multi-agent

Процесс

Шаг 1: Identify bottleneck

Из ARCHITECTURE.md — что узкое место?

Шаг 2: Match tech к bottleneck

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
