ShipKit — Personal SaaS Framework

• What it is: A production SaaS starter kit — a polished, "productized" version of the user's personal fullstack scaffold. The README positions it as an indie-hacker boilerplate: "Built by indie hackers who've shipped 4+ production SaaS apps with this exact stack". Includes payments (Polar.sh: checkout + webhooks + subscriptions), auth/RBAC, dark mode, i18n, SEO (sitemap/robots/JSON-LD), AI-native config.
• Type / status / role: library/boilerplate · active · solo — the user is the author (18 commits), +2 commits by Claude (AI co-author — literal co-development with AI).
• Active period: 2025-11-10 → 2026-05-01 (~6 months of iterative polishing).

• Monorepo: Turborepo + Bun workspaces. Apps: web (Next.js 16.1 + React 19.2), api (Elysia + Swagger + cookie/cors + Resend), admin (Next.js). Packages: auth/cache/cli/db/email/entities/eslint-config/typescript-config/ui (identical to fin_fullstack — shared foundation).
• Key pieces: Better Auth (login/signup/sessions/RBAC/admin), Drizzle ORM, Eden Treaty (end-to-end types), shadcn/ui + Tailwind, next-intl (i18n), next-themes (dark mode), Polar.sh (payments/subscriptions), Resend (email), SEO (sitemap/robots/JSON-LD/metadata).
• AI-native: CLAUDE.md (guide for Claude Code/Cursor/Copilot/Windsurf) + .claude/skills/ (deploy-workflow, dev-workflow, ui-ux-design, polar — based on context from hermes-shipkit).
• Infra: Bun, Turbo pipeline, Docker-ready.

20 commits in 6 months (solo + AI):

• Full SaaS scaffold: auth+RBAC+admin, payments (Polar.sh checkout/webhook/subscription), email (Resend), i18n, dark mode, SEO.
• Monorepo of 3 apps + 9 packages with Eden type-safety.
• AI-native wiring (CLAUDE.md + skills) — optimized for agentic development.
• 2 commits authored by Claude — literal AI co-development.
• Volume: compact, but production-complete and "sellable" boilerplate.

Confirmed by README/CLAUDE/manifests:

• Productized fullstack foundation (apps + 9 packages, Eden type-safety): one scaffold, forkable into products — proven (4+ live SaaS on it). → systematic reuse, platform thinking.
• Payments out of the box (Polar.sh: checkout + webhook + subscription): full billing cycle as part of the boilerplate, with accumulated rules ("payment = 3 parts, never deploy without one"). → knowledge of real billing pitfalls.
• AI-native by design (CLAUDE.md + .claude/skills/): boilerplate designed for agentic development (skills for deploy/dev/ui/polar), supporting Claude Code/Cursor/Copilot/Windsurf. → advanced AI workflow as a product feature.
• Production lessons captured (BetterAuth baseURL gotcha, semantic tokens for dark mode, Turbo build race, SEO indexing) — institutional knowledge from real deployments.
• End-to-end type safety (Elysia → Eden Treaty → frontends).

• Sessions found: 4 (in the local Claude Code sessions directory, 4 .jsonl + subdir). Plus 2 git commits authored by Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>.
• What was done with AI: development/polishing of the boilerplate with Claude Code; the boilerplate itself is AI-native (skills/CLAUDE.md for future projects).
• AI-workflow patterns: AI as co-developer (commits from Claude), AI-native product (skills as reusable workflows), multi-tool (Claude Code + Cursor + Copilot + Windsurf).

• Foundation of 4+ production SaaS apps (per README claim — backed by the ecommerce_sass/fin_fullstack/pos_fullstack/hermes cluster).
• 3 apps + 9 packages, Polar.sh payments, Better Auth/RBAC, i18n, SEO, dark mode out of the box.
• AI-native: CLAUDE.md + 4 skills, support for 4 AI assistants.
• 2026 stack: Next 16 + React 19 + Elysia/Bun + Drizzle.
