Stack Template
Updated February 28, 2026
A stack template is a reusable structure with goals, ingredient blocks, timing, and explicit stop conditions.
Why it matters
Templates improve consistency but can hide changes in health context if not reviewed.
Core components
- ingredients grouped as core and optional
- route and timing constraints
- dosage cadence
- safety checks and stop conditions
Template adaptation guidance
Before reuse, verify:
- contraindication status has not changed
- interactions are still valid for current medications
- duplicate ingredients are not accidentally reintroduced through inherited items
Personalization rules
- keep complexity low until your logging quality is stable
- modify one variable at a time (dose, route, or timing)
- archive old versions when clinical context shifts
Practical action step
During stack setup, complete an inheritance review list that includes stop conditions, interactions, and dose anchors.
Uncertainty and limits
- Evidence is limited on one template being safe across all life phases or routines.
- Evidence is limited on optimal template complexity for long-term adherence.
Cross-site references
How this appears in Unfair
Templates are used to prefill stack structure while still passing current safety and interaction gates.
Clinical safety note
Do not activate inherited templates with stale risk context; update and revalidate first.
