What problem does it solve? Building a SaaS application from scratch requires wiring together authentication, payments, database, email, CMS, analytics, and security before writing any product code. This Skill provides expert guidance on the next-forge Turborepo template so you can initialize, configure, customize, and deploy a production-grade Next.js monorepo without reverse-engineering its structure. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Project Initialization & Setup: Walks through npx next-forge@latest init, environment variable configuration, database migrations with Prisma, and local development across the seven apps (app, web, api, email, docs, storybook, studio). - Architecture & Package Guidance: Explains the monorepo structure, the @repo/* package conventions, Turborepo pipeline tasks, and how integrations like Clerk, Stripe, BaseHub, Resend, PostHog, and Arcjet fit together. - Customization & Deployment: Covers swapping providers (e.g., Prisma to Drizzle, Clerk to Auth.js, Stripe to Paddle), adding new apps or packages, and deploying to Vercel with per-app projects and shared environment variables. - Use Case: You want to launch a SaaS product with subscriptions and a marketing site. Use this Skill to scaffold the monorepo, connect Neon PostgreSQL and Stripe, then deploy the app, web, and api projects to Vercel. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to initialize a new next-forge project and explain which environment variables are required to run it locally.
