What it does

SaaS Mvp Launcher is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Use when planning or building a SaaS MVP from scratch. Provides a structured roadmap covering tech stack, architecture, auth, payments, and launch checklist.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Product launch strategy. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Building a SaaS MVP from scratch
  • Tasks that involve Product launch strategy

Example prompts

  • “/saas-mvp-launcher”

Requirements

  • A credential in STRIPE_SECRET_KEY

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Validate Before You Build
  2. Choose Your Tech Stack
  3. Project Structure
  4. Core Database Schema (Multi-tenant SaaS)
  5. Authentication Setup (Clerk)
  6. Stripe Integration (Subscriptions)
  7. Pre-Launch Checklist

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1c7bdea. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • stripe

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • STRIPE_SECRET_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

SaaS Mvp Launcher loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 575 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

SaaS MVP Launcher

Overview

This skill guides you through building a production-ready SaaS MVP in the shortest time possible. It covers everything from idea validation and tech stack selection to authentication, payments, database design, deployment, and launch — using modern, battle-tested tools.

When to Use This Skill

  • Use when starting a new SaaS product from scratch
  • Use when you need to choose a tech stack for a web application
  • Use when setting up authentication, billing, or database for a SaaS
  • Use when you want a structured launch checklist before going live
  • Use when designing the architecture of a multi-tenant application
  • Use when doing a technical review of an existing early-stage SaaS

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Validate Before You Build

Before writing any code, validate the idea:

Validation checklist:
- [ ] Can you describe the problem in one sentence?
- [ ] Who is the exact customer? (not "everyone")
- [ ] What do they pay for today to solve this?
- [ ] Have you talked to 5+ potential customers?
- [ ] Will they pay $X/month for your solution?

Rule: If you can't get 3 people to pre-pay or sign a letter of intent, don't build yet.

2. Choose Your Tech Stack

Recommended modern SaaS stack (2026):

LayerChoiceWhy
FrontendNext.js 15 + TypeScriptFull-stack, great DX, Vercel deploy
StylingTailwind CSS + shadcn/uiFast, accessible, customizable
BackendNext.js API Routes or tRPCType-safe, co-located
DatabasePostgreSQL via SupabaseReliable, scalable, free tier
ORMPrisma or DrizzleType-safe queries, migrations

4. Core Database Schema (Multi-tenant SaaS)
prisma
model User {
  id            String    @id @default(cuid())
  email         String    @unique
  name          String?
  createdAt     DateTime  @default(now())
  subscription  Subscription?
  workspaces    WorkspaceMember[]
}

model Workspace {
  id        String    @id @default(cuid())
  name      String
  slug      String    @unique
  plan      Plan      @default(FREE)
  members   WorkspaceMember[]

}

model Subscription {
  id                 String   @id @default(cuid())
  userId             String   @unique
  user               User     @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id])
  stripeCustomerId   String   @unique
  stripePriceId      String
  stripeSubId        String   @unique
  status             String   # active, canceled, past_due
  currentPeriodEnd   DateTime
}

enum Plan {
  FREE
  PRO
  ENTERPRISE
}
5. Authentication Setup (Clerk)
typescript
// middleware.ts
import { clerkMiddleware, createRouteMatcher } from '@clerk/nextjs/server';

const isPublicRoute = createRouteMatcher([
  '/',
  '/pricing',
  '/blog(.*)',
  '/sign-in(.*)',
  '/sign-up(.*)',
  '/api/webhooks(.*)',
]);

export default clerkMiddleware((auth, req) => {
  if (!isPublicRoute(req)) {
    auth().protect();
  }
});

export const config = {
  matcher: ['/((?!.*\\..*|_next).*)', '/', '/(api|trpc)(.*)'],
};
6. Stripe Integration (Subscriptions)
typescript
// lib/stripe.ts
import Stripe from 'stripe';
export const stripe = new Stripe(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY!, {
  apiVersion: '2025-01-27.acacia',
});

// Create checkout session
export async function createCheckoutSession(userId: string, priceId: string) {
  return stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
    mode: 'subscription',
    payment_method_types: ['card'],
    line_items: [{ price: priceId, quantity: 1 }],
    success_url: `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_URL}/dashboard?success=true`,
    cancel_url: `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_URL}/pricing`,
    metadata: { userId },
  });
}
7. Pre-Launch Checklist

Technical:

  • Authentication works (signup, login, logout, password reset)
  • Payments work end-to-end (subscribe, cancel, upgrade)
  • Error monitoring configured (Sentry)
  • Environment variables documented
  • Database backups configured
  • Rate limiting on API routes
  • Input validation with Zod on all forms
  • HTTPS enforced, security headers set

Product:

  • Landing page with clear value proposition
  • Pricing page with 2-3 tiers
  • Onboarding flow (first value in < 5 minutes)
  • Email sequences (welcome, trial ending, payment failed)
  • Terms of Service and Privacy Policy pages
  • Support channel (email / chat)

Marketing:

  • Domain purchased and configured
  • SEO meta tags on all pages
  • Google Analytics or PostHog installed
  • Social media accounts created
  • Product Hunt draft ready

Best Practices

  • ✅ Do: Ship a working MVP in 4-6 weeks maximum, then iterate based on feedback
  • ✅ Do: Charge from day 1 — free users don't validate product-market fit
  • ✅ Do: Build the "happy path" first, handle edge cases later
  • ✅ Do: Use feature flags for gradual rollouts (e.g., Vercel Edge Config)
  • ✅ Do: Monitor user behavior from launch day — not after problems arise
  • ❌ Don't: Build every feature before talking to customers
  • ❌ Don't: Optimize for scale before reaching $10k MRR
  • ❌ Don't: Build a custom auth system — use Clerk, Auth.js, or Supabase Auth
  • ❌ Don't: Skip the onboarding flow — it's where most SaaS lose users

Troubleshooting

Problem: Users sign up but don't activate (don't use core feature) Solution: Reduce steps to first value. Track with PostHog where users drop off in onboarding.

Problem: High churn after trial Solution: Add an exit survey. Most churn is due to lack of perceived value, not price.

Problem: Stripe webhook events not received locally Solution: Use Stripe CLI: stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/api/webhooks/stripe

Problem: Database migrations failing in production Solution: Always run prisma migrate deploy (not prisma migrate dev) in production environments.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
