## ๐ก Pro Toolset Patterns
### The Minimalist Approach
Start with just 3 tools and add only when necessary:
```yaml
"minimal-dev":
tools: [git, filesystem, terminal]
philosophy: "Cover 80% of tasks with 20% of tools"
```
### The Swiss Army Knife
One toolset per major context switch:
```yaml
"morning": [email, slack, calendar, tasks]
"coding": [git, docker, IDE-helper]
"afternoon": [docs, diagrams, presentation]
"debugging": [logs, debugger, profiler]
```
### The Specialist Sets
Ultra-focused toolsets for specific tasks:
```yaml
"git-surgery": [git-advanced, git-history, git-recover]
"css-wizard": [css-analyzer, flexbox-helper, grid-builder]
"sql-master": [query-builder, explain-analyzer, index-advisor]
```
## ๐ Quick Start Templates
### For New Developers
```bash
# Start with these three toolsets
"learning": [documentation, tutorial-runner, git]
"practice": [filesystem, terminal, simple-git]
"help": [stack-overflow, documentation, slack]
```
### For Team Leads
```bash
# Manage team and code
"team-mgmt": [slack, calendar, linear, 1-on-1-notes]
"code-review": [git, github, linter, test-runner]
"planning": [roadmap, estimation, resource-planner]
```
### For Consultants
```bash
# Client-specific toolsets
"client-a": [their-git, their-slack, their-jira]
"client-b": [their-azure, their-teams, their-ado]
"consulting": [time-tracker, invoice, calendar]
```
## ๐ Creating Your Own Patterns
### Questions to Ask
1. **What's the primary goal?**
- Focus tools around a single objective
2. **What's the workflow?**
- Order tools by typical usage sequence
3. **What's rarely used?**
- Remove tools used less than once per week
4. **What causes context switching?**
- Group tools that are used together
### Naming Conventions
**Good Names** โ
- `customer-support`
- `morning-standup`
- `bug-investigation`
- `deploy-production`
**Bad Names** โ
- `toolset1`
- `misc-tools`
- `everything`
- `temp`
### Evolution Strategy
1. **Week 1**: Start with 3-5 tools
2. **Week 2**: Add 1-2 tools based on friction
3. **Week 3**: Remove unused tools
4. **Week 4**: Finalize and document
