toolkits
Boxed implement sets
Toolkits are collections of tools or resources assembled for a particular purpose.
A carpenter's toolkit contains hammers, saws, and screwdrivers.
In software, a toolkit is a set of programming components for building applications.
The word extends to any curated set of methods or resources: a toolkit for managing stress, a teacher's toolkit for classroom engagement.
