name	stack-defaults
description	Use when choosing or confirming tech stack for a product or feature: frontend framework, database, auth, email, payments, hosting, search, or agent runtime. Applies AVID defaults (React/Vue, SQLite→Postgres/Supabase, Resend, Stripe, Playwright, Tavily, Context7) and records exceptions. Use during product-bootstrap or any greenfield/stack debate.

Stack Defaults

Opinionated defaults for AVID projects. Easy to override — record a short reason when you do. Scene beats table.

Default Stack Table

Layer	Default	Notes
Frontend	React or Vue	Match existing repo; greenfield prefer React+TS unless user is Vue-native
UI quality	Design skills / impeccable patterns	No generic AI slop UI
Web QA	Playwright	Prefer a11y snapshots over pure screenshots
Email	Resend	Transactional + registration flows
Payments	Stripe	Don't hand-roll billing
Data (MVP)	SQLite	Local/dev/single-node first
Data (prod)	Postgres via Supabase when it fits	Auth/storage/realtime optional
Search (web)	Tavily	Default research path
Search (vertical)	AnySearch	Domain/structured retrieval
