Nobody assembles the kit deliberately. It accumulates — a way of speaking to an official that you learned from watching your mother, a trick for getting started that you stole from a colleague in 2016, the knowledge of exactly which friend to ring for which category of problem.

It tends to appear when required, which is disconcerting and also the point. You find out what you have while using it.
