choose-ecosystem-integrations

A workflow for choosing valid integrations for a TanStack application. TanStack is a set of developer tools for building web applications, and an integration is an optional service or package added to the app.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map needs such as a database or deployment service to an installable add-on, inspect its available options, and create or update an app with the chosen integrations.
Why use it?
It prevents choosing a partner that is listed in the ecosystem but cannot be installed directly, or selecting conflicting options from the same category. It checks the current command-line choices before making a selection.

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

choose-ecosystem-integrations 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This skill requires familiarity with scaffold and discovery workflows. Read create-app-scaffold and query-docs-library-metadata first.

Choose Ecosystem Integrations

Use this skill at the seam between user requirements and valid CLI integration choices.

Setup

npx @tanstack/cli ecosystem --json
npx @tanstack/cli create --list-add-ons --json

Core Patterns

Map partner intent to add-on ids explicitly

npx @tanstack/cli ecosystem --category database --json
npx @tanstack/cli create --list-add-ons --json

Inspect option surfaces before final provider choice

npx @tanstack/cli create --addon-details drizzle --json
npx @tanstack/cli create --addon-details prisma --json

Enforce one choice per exclusive category

npx @tanstack/cli create my-app \
  --framework react \
  --add-ons clerk,drizzle \
  --deployment cloudflare \
  -y

Common Mistakes

HIGH Treat ecosystem partner id as add-on id

Wrong:

npx @tanstack/cli add <partner-id-from-ecosystem>

Correct:

npx @tanstack/cli ecosystem --json
npx @tanstack/cli create --list-add-ons --json
npx @tanstack/cli add <mapped-addon-id>

ecosystem includes partners that are not directly installable add-ons, so direct reuse of partner ids can fail late in add/apply flows.

Source: tanstack ecosystem --json output + tanstack create --list-add-ons --json output

HIGH Skip addon-details before choosing provider

Wrong:

npx @tanstack/cli create my-app --add-ons prisma -y

Correct:

npx @tanstack/cli create --addon-details prisma --json
npx @tanstack/cli create my-app --add-ons prisma -y

Optionized providers can default silently, producing the wrong data-layer stack for the requested integration.

Source: tanstack create --addon-details prisma --json

HIGH Select multiple exclusive integrations together

Wrong:

npx @tanstack/cli create my-app --add-ons clerk,workos -y

Correct:

npx @tanstack/cli create my-app --add-ons clerk -y

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

choose-ecosystem-integrations is a skill published in the GitHub repository TanStack/cli (1,295 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 918 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
