How to Help

1. Read .claude/stack.json if it exists — use the project’s decided database + ORM
2. If no stack.json, understand the data model before recommending
3. Load the relevant reference skill for specific questions
4. For “which database?” questions, consider: data model (relational vs document), hosting (serverless vs managed), budget, and scale needs
