template-stack-recommender

Meta-template for classifying a new project before code starts.

What this repo is for

Use this repo at the start of a new build to answer the upfront questions, select the correct starter stack, and create the planning files before implementation starts.

Recommended flow

1. Duplicate this repo or copy the /plan folder into a new project.
2. Fill in plan/STACK-RECOMMENDER.md.
3. Convert the output into the other plan files.
4. Choose one of the implementation templates only after classification is complete.

Contents

• plan/STACK-RECOMMENDER.md — structured intake and decision rules
• plan/PROJECT-CLASSIFICATION.md — guided classification worksheet
• plan/ARCHITECTURE-DECISION.md — architecture choice record

How to use in Cursor

Drop the entire plan/ folder into your repo. Start every project by opening plan/STACK-RECOMMENDER.md and filling it in before any code is written.
