Everything you need to ship a real SaaS with AI

Vibe coding is easy.

Shipping something real isn't.

The stack, prompts, and checklists used by a full-time developer to go from idea to near-complete SaaS — with AI doing the heavy lifting and you in control of every decision that matters.

# This is the exact spec used to build Taxly from zero.

name: Taxly

tagline: Know exactly what you owe HMRC. Right now.

stack: Next.js · TypeScript · Prisma · Neon · Stripe

target-user: UK sole traders who get a tax shock every January

# Build order — always tell Claude this upfront:

1 prisma schema 2 auth 3 core feature 4 stripe

5 alerts 6 settings 7 landing page (always last)

# Never build the landing page before the product works.

// who this is for

01

You have an idea and don’t know where to start

You’ve heard about vibe coding but you’re not sure what stack to use, how to structure the project, or how to make sure what Claude produces is actually any good.

02

You’ve started but you’re stuck or slow

You’ve got something running locally but it’s fragile, you don’t fully understand what Claude wrote, and you’re not confident enough to ship it to real users.

03

You’re a developer who wants to build on the side

You know how to code but you’ve never shipped your own product. You want a system that gets you from blank repo to live SaaS without reinventing the wheel.

// what's in the pack

Seven tools. One system.

Everything is designed to work together — from your first prompt to your first paying user.

01

The Stack Blueprint

Every tool in a production Next.js SaaS stack — what it does, why it’s there, and the gotcha that will cost you hours if nobody warns you. Nine tools documented. Three more you should add to every project.

02

The Project Spec Template

The exact template used to build Taxly. Eleven sections that turn any idea into a Claude-ready brief. Fill it in before you write a single line of code — or ask Claude to.

03

The Prompt Playbook

Six prompt patterns that produce production-grade output. Opening prompt, feature prompt, bug report, UI refinement, security audit, session start. Plus three recovery prompts for when Claude goes wrong.

04

The Infrastructure Checklist

GitHub → Neon → NextAuth → Stripe → Vercel → domain. Every step, in order, with the gotchas documented. The part every tutorial skips.

05

The Security & Launch Check

Authentication, authorisation, input validation, data safety, Stripe security, GDPR basics. What to verify before a single real user touches your app.

+

The GitHub Boilerplate

A working Next.js 14 template repo — the full stack pre-wired. Auth, Prisma, Stripe, Resend, Tailwind, shadcn. Clone it and you have a real starting point, not a blank screen.

+

The Taxly Case Study

The complete filled spec used to build Taxly — a real UK SaaS product. Every section answered. Use it as the reference when filling out your own.

// built with this exact system

Built with this exact system

Taxly is a UK sole trader tax dashboard — authentication, live tax calculations, Stripe subscriptions, email reminders, receipt uploads. Built almost entirely with AI.

The AI wrote the code. I directed it. The difference between those two things is everything.

The Prompt Playbook, the Spec Template, the Infrastructure Checklist — every part of this pack came directly from building Taxly. Nothing is theoretical.
