supastarter for Next.js – Skill
Expert guidance for building production-ready SaaS applications with the supastarter Next.js starter kit. Next.js only; no Vue/Nuxt content.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Building or modifying a supastarter Next.js app
- Adding features (new entities, API endpoints, UI, i18n)
- Working with Prisma, oRPC, Better Auth, Stripe, or the monorepo structure
- Debugging setup, configuration, deployment, or troubleshooting
- The user mentions supastarter Next.js, Prisma, oRPC, Better Auth, or related stack topics
High-Level Workflow: New Feature
Follow this order when adding a feature:
- Schema – Add or update Prisma models in
packages/database/prisma/schema.prisma; run migrations.
- Queries – Add query functions in
packages/database/prisma/queries/ and export from queries/index.ts.
- API – Add oRPC procedures in
packages/api/modules/<name>/ (types, procedures, router); mount router in packages/api/orpc/router.ts.
- UI – Add React components in
apps/web/ (e.g. modules/shared/components/); use shadcn, TanStack Query, session hooks.
- i18n – Add translation keys in
packages/i18n/translations/{en,de}.json.
Full walkthrough: assets/recipes/feedback-widget.md.
Project Structure (Next.js Monorepo)
apps/web/ # Next.js app (App Router, app/, components/, config/, lib/)
packages/
api/ # Hono + oRPC (modules/, orpc/router.ts)
auth/ # Better Auth config
database/ # Prisma schema, migrations, queries
i18n/ # Translations
mail/ # React Email templates, providers
storage/ # S3-compatible storage
ui/ # Shared UI (shadcn)
config/ # Shared config
Use package exports (e.g. @repo/api, @repo/database) instead of deep relative imports.
References (Progressive Disclosure)
Load only the reference files you need. All paths are from the skill root, one level deep.
Before writing code, read references/coding-conventions.md. For copy-paste patterns and commands, use references/code-patterns.md and references/quick-reference.md.

Assets
Scripts
- generate_module.py – Scaffolds a new API module (types, procedures, router). See scripts/README.md or the Scripts section below.
How to run (from supastarter monorepo root):
python scripts/generate_module.py <module-name>
Example: python scripts/generate_module.py feedback creates packages/api/modules/feedback/ with types.ts, procedures/create.ts, and router.ts. Mount the router in packages/api/orpc/router.ts manually.
Conventions (Summary)
- TypeScript everywhere; interfaces for object shapes.
- Named function exports for React components; prefer Server Components; use
"use client" only when needed.
- Forms: react-hook-form + zod; API: oRPC procedures in
packages/api/modules/.
- Use
@repo/* package imports; do not instantiate Prisma/Drizzle in app code.
- pnpm, Biome (format/lint), Turbo; Node.js ≥ 20.
Before writing code, read references/coding-conventions.md. For examples and commands: references/code-patterns.md, references/quick-reference.md, references/customization.md, references/api-patterns.md.
