VibeShip helps you ship 10x faster without lowering the engineering bar.
Auth, payments, email, realtime data, and agentic guidance are wired together. Your agent gets the critical checklist it needs to remember SEO, billing, marketing sync, docs, and deployability on every change.
Powered by a stack you already trust
Agent output without guardrails creates rework
Same SaaS foundation, three very different quality bars. The gap is the whole point of VibeShip.

The SaaS foundation and agent guardrails are done for you
Every surface a real SaaS needs on day one, plus the instructions that help AI agents modify it without drifting off-architecture.
Auth & accounts
Clerk sign-in, route protection, webhook sync, and workspace-ready ownership - already wired.
Polar payments
One well-supported checkout, portal, webhook, and entitlement path for software products.
Convex data
A Convex backend behind a typed repository boundary, with a memory fallback for local safety.
Transactional email
Resend client, React email templates, and safe development fallbacks so nothing leaks.
Dev/prod env guardrails
Agents track Clerk dev/prod, Polar sandbox/prod, Convex deployments, and Vercel scopes from the first setup.
Agentic quality system
AGENTS.md, repo docs, a Codex skill, Cursor/Claude/Copilot instructions, MCP setup, and a checklist for every change.
SEO & marketing
This whole site - sitemap, robots, manifest, and dynamic OG images - ships with the kit.
From empty repo to agent-assisted launch in 3 steps
Clone & configure
Pull the repo, keep sandbox and production keys separate, and run one command. Auth, billing, email, and data come online with sensible defaults.
Give your agent the repo
Point Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or Copilot at the codebase. AGENTS.md and the repo skill tell it how to build features the right way.
Ship & charge
Deploy preview first, sync production env only with confirmation, and start taking money - one-time licenses, subscriptions, or both.
Faster to launch. Not 10% faster - an order of magnitude.
The plumbing that used to burn your first month is already built, tested, and documented for your AI agent. Hand it a prompt and the guidance layer keeps quality-critical details in view - so you skip straight to the features that make money.
Hours to a billable v1
Estimate based on rebuilding auth, billing, email, data, and SEO by hand versus starting from VibeShip - then handing the work to an AI agent that has repo-specific rules and a critical-change checklist.
The guidance layer is the moat. Not just another starter.
Generic boilerplates give your agent files. VibeShip gives it the repo rules, integration guardrails, and critical-change checklist that keep work on-architecture. Beginners get fewer footguns; senior engineers get leverage without babysitting every edge case.
- AGENTS.md - the canonical instruction file and quality checklist
- A repo skill capturing feature, billing, email, data, and marketing workflows
- Cursor rules, Claude instructions, Copilot instructions, and Codex skill kept in sync
- MCP setup so agents can inspect the running app, not just the files
The quality loop: every task asks the agent to check SEO, billing, auth, data, env, docs, accessibility, marketing/product sync, and a clean build before calling the work done.
## Every prompt ends with this check[ ] Scope mapped to repo boundaries[ ] SEO/metadata/OG/sitemap checked[ ] Billing + entitlements still aligned[ ] Marketing and product not drifting[ ] Auth/data/env/docs updated together[ ] pnpm check passes before handoff
Proof beats placeholder praise. Here is what is wired.
Until real customer quotes arrive, VibeShip shows the product evidence that matters: agentic guidance, billing boundaries, and deployability.
Internal sales code stays out of buyer reposRelease checks protect the boundary without turning internal distribution mechanics into a customer-facing feature.
Every task carries the critical checklistCodex, Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot instructions point back to AGENTS.md so agents share the same architecture rules.
Polar drives one entitlement resolverOne-time purchases and active subscriptions resolve durable entitlements through Polar-backed billing records.
Launch checklist touches data, email, and entitlementsThe authenticated dashboard now includes a real workspace-scoped workflow instead of only placeholder panels.
Checks are part of the product contractThe repo expects targeted tests while iterating and pnpm check before broad handoff.
Public copy must track implementation truthMarketing, docs, env files, and agent guidance are updated together when product behavior changes.

Good questions, real answers
Is this a one-time purchase or a subscription?
Core and Team / Agency are one-time licenses with lifetime updates. Pro is listed so buyers can see the direction, but it is coming soon and is not orderable yet.
Do I get future updates?
Yes. Every license includes lifetime updates to the version you bought. New Pro integration modules will be announced when they are ready instead of being sold ahead of the implementation.
What's planned for Pro?
The current Pro direction is CMS integration support, user-facing AI SaaS patterns, and meetings or booking workflows. Those are intentionally not in Core yet because they need strong implementation guides and tests.
Do I need to be good with AI coding tools?
No. VibeShip works as a normal Next.js codebase. But if you use Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or Copilot, the bundled AGENTS.md, repo skill, and rules make them dramatically more effective - that's where the 10x really kicks in.
Is this only for non-technical founders?
No. Beginners get a safer path because the agent has guardrails. Experienced engineers get leverage because the repo handles the repeatable SaaS plumbing and reminds agents to check SEO, billing, data boundaries, docs, accessibility, and deployability before handoff.
Can I use it for client work?
Core is for your own products. The Team / Agency license adds unlimited projects, team seats, agency usage rights, and access to Pro modules as they become available.
What if it's not for me?
Reach out within 14 days and we'll sort it out. We'd rather you be genuinely glad you bought it than hold onto a refund.
Stop babysitting agents.
Start shipping.
Grab VibeShip, point your AI at a repo that already knows the quality bar, and have a real, billable product live this weekend.
