Tools Used
Purpose
Why this workflow exists
Workflow Steps
Open Cursor and prompt it to generate a Next.js 15 app with App Router, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui. Ask it to create the folder structure, layout, and authentication setup.
Create a Supabase project. Use Cursor to generate the database schema (SQL migrations), TypeScript types, and Supabase client configuration based on your data model.
Install Clerk and configure sign-up, sign-in, and protected routes. Cursor can generate the middleware, auth wrappers, and user management pages.
Set up Stripe Checkout for subscriptions. Use Cursor to generate the pricing page, webhook handler, and customer portal route.
Push to GitHub and connect to Vercel. Enable preview deployments for PRs, set environment variables, and configure a custom domain.

How many tools do I actually need to start?
You can usually start with the core set listed here. This idea currently references 5 tools, but you do not need to adopt every tool on day one.
Is this workflow suitable for my experience level?
Yes, as long as you treat the current setup as intermediate. The workflow structure stays the same; the difference is how much customization and orchestration you add.
How long does it take to put this into practice?
Most teams can stand up an initial version quickly because the workflow already breaks into 5 concrete steps. The refinement phase usually takes longer than the first draft.
