Use before adding, removing or replacing an infrastructure dependency or vendor SDK - hosting, database, auth, email, storage, payments, monitoring, analytics, search, realtime, background jobs, queues, CMS, feature flags or AI APIs (for example "add Stripe", "set up Resend for emails", "install @supabase/supabase-js", "move auth to Clerk"), and when a hook reports that a new vendor was added. Checks the change against STACK.md requirements, the team's avoid list, budget, services already in…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Manifestack guard

A quick check before the stack changes. It reads `.manifestack/STACK.md` only; it does not run a full audit and does not read vendor pages.

`<skill-dir>` is the folder that contains this file.

## Steps

1. Run `node <skill-dir>/scripts/stack-md.mjs parse .manifestack/STACK.md` from the repository root.
   - `exists: false` → tell the user there is no `.manifestack/STACK.md` and suggest `/manifestack` (it records the stack and its limits). Then continue with their task.
2. Name the service being added, removed or changed, and its role (Hosting, Database, Auth, Email, Storage, Payments, Monitoring, Analytics, Search, Realtime, Jobs, CMS, Flags, AI, Other).
3. Check it against STACK.md:
   - **Requirements**: go through every item in `requires` one by one (data region, certifications such as SOC 2, SSO) and say for each whether this vendor meets it or needs checking. A payments, email or auth vendor holds customer data, so a data-region rule applies to it as much as to the database. Do not guess the answer; do not skip an item.
   - **Avoid**: does the vendor, its cloud or the setup it needs match anything in `avoid`? Quote the line.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add manifestack/manifestack/manifestack-guard@sha256:241493e90ac72f59

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.5.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
