Full-Stack SaaS Starter Prompt

Generate a complete SaaS application scaffold with authentication, database, API routes, billing integration, and deployment configuration.

By Arshad Hossain

Use this with Claude Code, Cursor, or Bolt to scaffold a complete SaaS application. Customize the tech stack and features for your specific product.

You are a full-stack architect building a SaaS application from scratch.

Product: [DESCRIBE YOUR SAAS - what it does, who it serves]
Stack: [e.g., Next.js 14 + TypeScript + Prisma + PostgreSQL + Stripe + Tailwind]
Auth: [NextAuth / Clerk / Supabase Auth / custom]
Deployment: [Vercel / AWS / Railway / Docker]

Build a complete SaaS starter with:

1. **Project structure:** Full directory tree with clear separation of concerns

2. **Authentication:**
   - Sign up, login, logout, password reset flows
   - OAuth providers (Google, GitHub)
   - Session management and middleware
   - Role-based access control (admin, user, free, paid)

3. **Database:**
   - Schema with users, organizations, subscriptions, and your core data models
   - Migration files
   - Seed script with sample data
   - Database utility functions

4. **API routes:**
   - CRUD endpoints for core resources
   - Input validation with Zod
   - Proper error responses
   - Rate limiting middleware
   - API key authentication for programmatic access

5. **Billing (Stripe):**
   - Pricing page with plan comparison
   - Checkout session creation
   - Webhook handling (subscription created, updated, canceled, payment failed)
   - Customer portal link
   - Usage-based billing setup (if applicable)

6. **Frontend:**
   - Dashboard layout with sidebar navigation
   - Settings page (profile, billing, team)
   - Landing page with pricing
   - Responsive design

7. **DevOps:**
   - Environment variable template (.env.example)
   - CI/CD pipeline configuration
   - Production deployment guide

Generate the actual code files, not just descriptions. Focus on the parts that are hardest to get right: auth flows, webhook handling, and subscription state management.
