Public Squads must select a category during setup. Categories like Web, Mobile, AI, and Fun help users discover Squads that align with their interests.

## Squad Stack & Tools

Squads can showcase the technologies, frameworks, and tools that are central to the community. This helps potential members quickly understand what technologies the Squad focuses on.

Squad admins can manage the Squad's stack from the Squad settings:

1. Go to your **Squad page**
2. Open **Squad settings**
3. Find the **Stack & Tools** section
4. Add technologies relevant to your Squad's focus

For example, a React Squad might add React, TypeScript, and Next.js to their stack, while a DevOps Squad might showcase Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS.

For additional guidance, see our Squad moderation documentation.

# Stack & Tools

{/* TODO: Add screenshot of Stack & Tools section on profile */}

Your Stack & Tools section lets you showcase the technologies, frameworks, languages, and tools you work with. It's a quick way for other developers — and potential employers — to understand your technical background and expertise.

## Why Add Your Stack?

- **Build your developer identity** — Show what technologies define your work
- **Help others find you** — Developers with similar stacks can discover and connect with you
- **Stand out to recruiters** — When recruiters view your profile through [Career Mode](../career-mode/overview.md), your stack helps them quickly understand your technical expertise
- **Share your journey** — Track when you started using each technology

## Adding Items to Your Stack

1. Go to your **profile page**
2. Find the **Stack & Tools** section
3. Click the **Add** button
4. Start typing the name of a technology, tool, or skill
5. Select from suggestions or add a custom entry
6. Choose a **section** to organize it
7. Optionally set **Using since** to show how long you've been using it
8. Click **Add to stack**

:::tip
As you type, you'll see suggestions from our database of known tools and technologies. Selecting a suggestion adds the official icon automatically.

## Sections

Organize your stack into sections that reflect how you use each technology:

| Section | Use for |
|---------|---------|
| **Primary** | Your main, day-to-day technologies |
| **Hobby** | Technologies you use for personal projects |
| **Learning** | Technologies you're currently learning |
| **Past** | Technologies you've used before but moved on from |
| **Custom** | Create your own section name |

## Editing and Removing Items

Hover over any stack item to reveal edit and delete options:

- **Edit** — Change the section or "Using since" date
- **Delete** — Remove the item from your stack

:::note
The technology name cannot be edited after adding. To change it, delete the item and add it again with the correct name.
:::

## Limits

You can add up to **100 items** to your stack. This gives you plenty of room to showcase your full technical breadth while keeping profiles focused and meaningful.

## Visibility

Your Stack & Tools section is visible on your public profile. Anyone visiting your profile can see the technologies you've added, organized by section.

If you haven't added any items yet, the section won't appear to visitors — only you'll see the prompt to add your first item.
