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 Neon PostgreSQL, and Stripe CLI webhook testing. - Architecture Guidance: Explains the monorepo layout with seven apps (app, web, api, email, docs, storybook, studio) and over twenty shared @repo/* packages covering auth, payments, CMS, analytics, observability, and more. - Provider Swapping & Deployment: Documents how to replace default integrations (Clerk, Stripe, BaseHub, Resend) with alternatives like Supabase, Paddle, or Lemon Squeezy, and how to deploy apps to Vercel with correct environment variables. - Use Case: You want to launch a SaaS product quickly. Use this Skill to scaffold the monorepo, connect a Neon database, configure Clerk authentication and Stripe billing, 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.
