Technology Stack Blueprint Generator
Generate a configurable technology-stack blueprint from an existing repo so onboarding, architecture, and conventions are documented in one pass.
Overview
Technology-stack-blueprint-generator is an agent skill most often used in Build → docs (also Idea → research, Operate → iterate) that analyzes a codebase and writes a configurable technology-stack blueprint.

What problem does it solve?
You opened a multi-framework repo and cannot quickly see languages, versions, patterns, and conventions in one structured document.
Who is it for?
Indie developers onboarding to unfamiliar repos, documenting acquisitions, or standardizing agent context before large refactors.
Skip if: Empty greenfield folders with no code to analyze—run after something exists on disk.
When should I use this skill?
You need a configurable technology stack blueprint analyzed from an existing codebase with optional versions, licenses, diagrams, and conventions.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You receive a depth-configured blueprint with stack detection, optional diagrams and licenses, and implementation-ready patterns for consistent follow-on development.
- Technology stack blueprint document
- Optional architecture diagrams
- Documented coding conventions and usage patterns
Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
Stack blueprints are produced once you have code to analyze, canonical home is build-time documentation. Outputs architectural markdown or structured formats—docs and conventions—not shipping binaries.
Where it fits
Produce a stack blueprint before buying or cloning a starter to see if .NET versus React weight fits your roadmap.
Emit Implementation-Ready Markdown with usage patterns so your agent extends APIs consistently.
Regenerate the blueprint after a major framework upgrade to keep team and agent context accurate.
How it compares
Architecture documentation generator from repo signals—not a linter, security scanner, or CI deploy skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is technology-stack-blueprint-generator for?
Solo builders and small teams who need accurate stack and convention docs from real code without manual inventory spreadsheets.
When should I use technology-stack-blueprint-generator?
At Idea/research when evaluating a codebase; during Build/docs when creating onboarding artifacts; at Operate/iterate after major dependency upgrades.
Is technology-stack-blueprint-generator safe to install?
Use the Security Audits panel on this Prism page; the skill implies full codebase read access—scope repo access and secrets accordingly.
