Each slot is one layer of your AI stack. Choose one tool per slot, or skip the layers you do not need. Hover the i for what each layer does.
AI Stack Motherboard
● 6/12 SOCKETS SEATED • READY TO SHIP
Export Seated Stack Configs:
Socket 01Core Layer • IDE
AI Coding IDE & EditoriWhat Socket 01 DoesYour primary code editor for inline AI diffs, multi-file edits, and tab autocomplete.Essential for daily interactive coding • Skip only for headless server pipelines.
● Seated
+ Add a tool that is not listed
We cannot check unlisted tools for license or speed. We use your answers for the cost and privacy checks, and list it by name in your export.
Socket 02Core Layer • CLI Agent
Autonomous Terminal & SWE AgentiWhat Socket 02 DoesAutonomous terminal agent that plans, edits across your repo, runs tests, and commits.Best for multi-file refactors & PR automation • Optional if you only use an IDE.
● Seated
+ Add a tool that is not listed
We cannot check unlisted tools for license or speed. We use your answers for the cost and privacy checks, and list it by name in your export.
Socket 03Core Layer • Context OS
Agent Harness & Context OSiWhat Socket 03 DoesCompresses repo context (CLAUDE.md / AST maps) so agents stop re-reading junk files.Recommended for all stacks • Cuts per-turn prompt token waste by 40% to 75%.
● Seated

Intentionally Omitted Layers (Lean YAGNI Justification) - **Slot 05 (Multi-Agent Orchestration & State Graph)**: `OMITTED BY DESIGN` - Single-agent tool loop suffices; omitting orchestration graph avoids 3.2x cyclic token chatter and 1,450MB RAM. - **Slot 07 (Agent Memory, Vector & Hybrid RAG Engine)**: `OMITTED BY DESIGN` - 200k prompt-cached KV window + AST RepoMap suffices; omitting Vector DB saves 420-1,850MB RAM. - **Slot 08 (Code Sandbox, MicroVM & Browser Runtime)**: `OMITTED BY DESIGN` - No untrusted remote code execution or headless browser automation required for this workload. - **Slot 09 (MCP Server Runtime & Tool-Poisoning Firewall)**: `OMITTED BY DESIGN` - No external third-party MCP servers mounted; MCP firewall layer omitted. - **Slot 11 (Voice, WebRTC & Realtime Multimodal Agent)**: `OMITTED BY DESIGN` - Text/code-only workload; WebRTC voice & realtime audio pipeline not required. - **Slot 12 (Local Inference & QLoRA / GRPO Fine-Tune Engine)**: `OMITTED BY DESIGN` - Using routed frontier API models; dedicated local GPU/VRAM inference & QLoRA fine-tuning not required.
