# [Introduction](https://zerostarter.dev/docs)

ZeroStarter is a minimal, strictly-typed SaaS monorepo (Bun, Turborepo, and a single type that runs from Postgres to the DOM) built so a human and an AI agent can both read it end to end.

It ships the load-bearing parts of a SaaS (auth, a typed API, a database with migrations, docs, and deploy) already wired together, so your first day goes to your product instead of plumbing.

Both audiences are first-class. The codebase is small and strict on purpose, and it hands an AI agent the same footing it hands you: executable [skills](/docs/resources/ai-skills), a typed API that rejects wrong calls, a one-request local sign-in, and generated [llms.txt](/docs/manage/llms-txt) context. Point Claude Code, Cursor, or your own agent at it and it can build a real feature.

## What's inside [#whats-inside]

* **Auth & organizations**: Better Auth with optional GitHub and Google OAuth (each button appears only when its credentials are set), organizations and teams, and a role ladder that gates the console.
* **A typed API**: Hono with end-to-end RPC. The frontend infers its types from the backend, so a wrong call fails at compile time, not in production.
* **Database & migrations**: PostgreSQL and Drizzle on Bun's SQL driver, schema-first, with generated migrations you apply in one command.
* **Docs**: Fumadocs with search and an auto-generated `llms.txt`, the site you're reading now.
* **Deploy**: Docker and Vercel configs that ship the same code you develop against.

All of that is real and working. The **dashboard and console are auth-gated shells**: a signed-in starting point, not a pre-built app. You build your product on them.

## Start here [#start-here]

1. [Quickstart](/docs/getting-started/setup): two commands to a running, signed-in app.
2. [Architecture](/docs/getting-started/architecture): the stack, and why each piece is here.
3. [Project Structure](/docs/getting-started/project-structure): two apps, four packages, one import graph.
4. [The Type-Safe API](/docs/getting-started/type-safe-api): how one type crosses every boundary.
5. [Working with Agents](/docs/getting-started/working-with-agents): the loop an AI agent uses to build here.
