toolkit
Handyman's essential collection
A toolkit is a collection of tools kept together for a particular purpose: a plumber's toolkit, a first-aid toolkit.
The word extends naturally to software—a set of programs or functions bundled for developers.
Figuratively, a toolkit is any set of resources or skills: emotional toolkit, parenting toolkit.
