Every business needs a handful of tools. The trouble is that every category has five good-looking options, every option has three plans, and every comparison video ends with "it depends." So people either freeze, or they buy everything and figure it out later.
The Tool Stack Planner is a Claude skill built to fix that. You tell it what you're working on, it asks a few short questions, and it tells you which tools you actually need right now, which ones you can skip, what they really cost at your size, and what order to set them up in.
