+# Tools
+
+A list of tools we encourage you to use when you need such functionality.
+
+## Existing tools
+
+1. See [package.json](./../package.json) for tools you might already have at your disposal
+2. See [create-t3-turbo](https://github.com/Labrys-Group/create-t3-turbo/blob/main/package.json) if there's a lib that does the job
+3. See [our Shadcn common registry](https://github.com/Labrys-Group/common-registry) if there's a lib that does the job
+4. See [core library stack](https://www.notion.so/labrys/ee2e6813c3d94cc8ad476c8ecabd09a6?v=7e3f0bfb970941638f9ce6ddffbd36db&source=copy_link)
+
+## Handle server actions in a trpc-like manner
+
+Next safe actions

+
+## State management library (signals)
+
+Among other things, avoid creating a provider at the top just to share the same info in two different areas of the UI.

+
+## Other and new packages
+
+Should none of the above work, or you have a better idea, please verbalize it in `#dev-team`, so we can decide together if that's the right tool, if it's safe to use, or if we have a better alternative. If accepted, add them [in this file](https://github.com/Labrys-Group/common-registry/blob/main/docs/tools.md).
