choose-stack

A reference for choosing standard development tools by job and programming language, such as testing, linting, packaging, and code generation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when selecting tools for Rust, Go, Node, Python, release automation, documentation, demos, or generating clients from OpenAPI descriptions. It also explains that a monorepo is one repository containing multiple related packages.
Why use it?
It reduces time spent comparing options and helps keep tool choices consistent across projects.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-stack 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.

What it actually says

Tools Reference

Release & Versioning

  • sr (semantic-release) automated versioning, changelog, GitHub releases, AI-powered commits/rebase/review/PR generation (multi-backend: Claude, Copilot, Gemini)

Documentation & Demos

  • teasr automated screenshot/GIF capture (web, terminal, screen)
  • fsrc sync source code into markdown files

Code Generation

  • oag (openapi-generator) OpenAPI → TypeScript/React/Python clients

Rust

  • cargo build system and package manager
  • clippy linting and idiomatic Rust checks
  • clap command-line argument parsing
  • cross cross-compilation for ARM/musl targets
  • cargo-insta snapshot testing

Go

  • wails desktop applications with Go backend and web frontend
  • golangci-lint comprehensive Go linting
  • go-rod browser automation

Node

  • ncc compile Node.js modules into single files
  • tsdown TypeScript bundler (Rolldown-based)
  • biome linting and formatting for JS/TS
  • turbo monorepo build system (task caching, parallel execution)

Python

  • uv package manager and virtual environment tool
  • ruff linting and formatting
  • ty static type checking
  • pytest testing framework
  • pydantic data validation with type annotations
  • fastapi async web framework
  • logging (stdlib) foundation layer; prefer over loguru (logging.getLogger(__name__))
  • structlog structured/JSON logging on top of stdlib; use when services need machine-readable output
  • loguru quick scripts and one-off CLIs only; never in libraries or production services
  • opentelemetry tracing, metrics, and log export (otel-sdk + otel-exporter-otlp); stdlib logging has first-class OTel support, structlog works transitively
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-stack is a skill published in the GitHub repository urmzd/dotfiles (3 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 134 tokens to every session and 620 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-31.
