What problem does it solve? Building a production SaaS application from scratch requires wiring together authentication, payments, database, email, CMS, analytics, and security. This Skill provides expert guidance on next-forge, a Turborepo template that pre-integrates these services, so you avoid weeks of boilerplate configuration. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Monorepo Architecture Guidance: Explains the apps (app, web, api, email, docs, storybook, studio) and shared packages (@repo/auth, @repo/database, @repo/payments, and more) so you know where every feature lives. - Setup and Environment Configuration: Walks through installation via the CLI, DATABASE_URL setup with Neon PostgreSQL, Prisma migrations, and optional integration keys for Clerk, Stripe, Resend, PostHog, and others. - Customization and Deployment: Covers swapping providers (e.g., Stripe to Paddle, Clerk to Auth.js), adding packages or apps, and deploying to Vercel as separate projects. - Use Case: You want to launch a SaaS product with subscriptions and a marketing site. Use this Skill to initialize next-forge, configure Stripe and Clerk keys, run database migrations, and deploy the app, web, and api projects to Vercel. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to initialize a new next-forge project and walk you through configuring the database and running it locally.
