# Uses

Tools, software, and hardware relied on for research, writing, and Strategy Engine work. An honest snapshot — only items verifiable from this repo or owner-confirmed are listed.

## This site

- **Astro 5** — static site generator, no client-side framework, plain HTML output
- **Plain CSS** — custom properties, no preprocessor, no utility framework
- **Cloudflare Pages** — hosting via Git push, no CI/CD secrets needed locally
- **Pagefind** — client-side full-text search, no server round-trips
- **Resend** — contact form email delivery via Cloudflare Worker
- **Cloudflare Turnstile** — privacy-preserving spam protection

## Stack constraints

No Tailwind, no React/Vue/Svelte, no analytics scripts, no tag managers, no third-party JS. See CLAUDE.md for the full constraint list.

## Research and writing

Owner-confirmed items will be added. The /uses/ page is the authoritative source — this .md twin reflects its current state.
