"description": "NowStack-tailored SaaS ideation workflow - from idea discovery to task breakdown on the NowStack stack (TanStack Start + Convex + Better Auth)",
"argument-hint": "[project-name]"
}
This workflow responds in the user's language while prompts are in English. It is designed for solo developers shipping on the NowStack boilerplate who want to ship a monetizable SaaS in under 2 weeks.
<quick_start> Start a new SaaS ideation (interactive discovery):
/create-saas-idea
With custom project name:
/create-saas-idea my-awesome-saas
Continue existing project:
/create-saas-idea -c my-awesome-saas
What it does:
- Discovery: Ask questions to understand your background
- Brainstorm: Generate 3-6 validated SaaS ideas
- Validate: Challenge and refine your chosen idea
- PRD: Create a Product Requirements Document
- Architecture: Design technical stack on NowStack (TanStack Start + Convex + Better Auth)
- Tasks: Break down into actionable implementation tasks for the NowStack codebase
Outputs saved to ~/.claude/output/saas/{project-id}/. Once tasks are ready, feed them into /init-project or APEX to start implementing on top of the NowStack boilerplate.
</quick_start>
Flags:
-a/-A- Auto mode: skip confirmations (default: false)-s/-S- Save mode: save outputs to files (default: true)-c <project-id>- Continue mode: reload existing project and resume where you left off

<success_criteria>
- Discovery questions answered and insights captured
- 3-6 validated SaaS ideas generated
- One idea selected and validated against market
- PRD created with clear problem, solution, and user stories
- Technical architecture defined on NowStack (TanStack Start + Convex + Better Auth)
- Implementation tasks broken down and prioritized for the NowStack codebase
- All outputs saved to
~/.claude/output/saas/{project-id}/ - Project ready to start implementation via
/init-projector APEX </success_criteria>
Scripts:
