Idea

The stabilization of an (∞,1)-topos H\mathbf{H}

(Σ Ω ):HΣ Ω Stab(H) (\Sigma^\infty \dashv \Omega^\infty) : \mathbf{H} \stackrel{\overset{\Omega^\infty}{\leftarrow}}{\underset{\Sigma^\infty}{\to}} Stab(\mathbf{H})

consist of spectrum objects in H\mathbf{H}. By the “stable Giraud theorem” this is the localization of an (∞,1)-category of (∞,1)-functors with values in the stable (∞,1)-category of spectra: \infty-sheaves of spectra.

This may be presented by a model structure on presheaves of spectra.

Properties

Relation to sheaves of chain complexes and abelian sheaf cohomology

The stable Dold-Kan correspondence

DK:Ch (R)HRMod(Spectra)USpectra DK \;\colon\; Ch_\bullet(R) \stackrel{\simeq}{\longrightarrow} H R Mod(Spectra) \stackrel{U}{\longrightarrow} Spectra

is an (∞,1)-limits-preserving (∞,1)-functor from the (∞,1)-category of chain complexes (over a given commutative ring) to the (∞,1)-category of spectra. Hence every (∞,1)-sheaf/∞-stack of chain complexes (as it appears (maybe implicitly) in abelian sheaf cohomology/hypercohomology canonically incarnates as an (,1)(\infty,1)-sheaf of spectra).

Symmetric monoidal structure

The smash tensor product of the symmetric monoidal (∞,1)-category of spectra induced also a smash tensor product on any (∞,1)-category of sheaves of spectra

(Lurie, "Spectral Schemes", prop 1.5).
