Triple — Web + Admin + API
The full SaaS shape. Marketing site, Filament-style admin panel, Go API — one monorepo.
grit new --triple is the recommended starter for serious SaaS products. Three apps in one Turborepo: apps/web (public marketing + product UI), apps/admin (Filament-style admin panel), and apps/api (Go API). RBAC, invitation flow, audit log, and the in-app Security + Observability dashboards all come pre-wired.
$grit new my-app --triple
Admin
What's included
Every batteries-included primitive the framework ships, wired into this kit by default.
Public web app
apps/web — Next.js marketing + product UI.
Admin panel
apps/admin — Filament-style DataTable + FormBuilder + widgets.
RBAC + invitations
Roles, workspace switcher, accept-by-token invitation flow.
In-app Security
Sentinel summary inside admin: score, threats, AuthShield, CSP.
In-app Observability
Pulse summary inside admin: p95/p99, SLOs, USE grid, top N+1.
Postgres + GORM
Production DB, GORM Studio at /studio.
Code generator
grit generate resource emits to all three apps.
AI Gateway
Streaming completions, agent endpoints, structured outputs.
Audit + notifications
Tamper-evident log + bell notifications for high-sev events.
Three Dockerfiles
One per app; docker-compose for local + grit deploy for prod.
Plan this kit with an AI
Paste this into claude.ai with your idea. Claude returns four planning files (project-description.md, project-phases.md, design-style-guide.md, prompt.md) that you feed to Claude Code with the grit new my-app --triple command.
I want to build the project below using the **Grit framework**.
## What Grit is
Grit is a full-stack meta-framework that scaffolds production-ready apps in one command. It pairs a **Go (Gin + GORM)** backend with React on the front and ships every battery — auth, payments, jobs, mail, file storage, AI, observability, security WAF, and a Filament-style admin panel — out of the box.

## The kit I want to use — `Triple — Web + Admin + API`
I'm using the **triple** kit, which produces:
- A Turborepo monorepo with `apps/web` + `apps/admin` + `apps/api`
- `apps/web` — public Next.js marketing + product surface
- `apps/admin` — Filament-style admin panel with `defineResource()`
- `apps/api` — Go (Gin + GORM) backend
- `packages/shared` for Zod schemas + TypeScript types
- RBAC + invitation flow, audit log, in-app Sentinel + Pulse
- Asynq jobs, S3 storage, Resend mail, AI Gateway — same batteries
- Recommended starter for any SaaS with multi-tenant admin needs
The scaffold command I'll run is:
```
grit new my-app --triple
```

## What I need from you
Generate exactly **four files** I'll save to my project root before scaffolding.
### 1. `project-description.md` — the full project briefing
A complete, opinionated brief on the project. Cover:
- One-line positioning (what it is in 12 words)
- Target users (3–5 concrete personas with names and motivations)
- The core problem and why existing alternatives fall short
- Top 5 features ranked by importance, with one sentence each on the user value
- Non-goals (what we are NOT building — anti-scope is as important as scope)
- Success metrics (3 concrete numbers we'd judge success against)
- Inspirations / references (apps to learn from + what to copy / avoid)
- Tech-stack alignment — explain how each Grit battery (auth, jobs, mail, storage, AI, admin) maps to the project's needs
### 2. `project-phases.md` — the phased build plan
A sequenced roadmap with checkbox tasks. Use this structure:
```
## Phase 1 — Scaffold & Skeleton
- [ ] Run `grit new my-app --triple`
- [ ] Configure `.env` (database, JWT, SMTP, S3, ...)
- ...
## Phase 2 — Core Data Model
- [ ] Define User model extensions
- [ ] `grit generate resource Order`
- ...
## Phase 3 — Authentication & RBAC
## Phase 4 — Core User Flows
## Phase 5 — Admin Panel (or mobile screens / desktop pages — match the kit)
## Phase 6 — Payments / Webhooks (if applicable)
## Phase 7 — Polish & UX
## Phase 8 — Deploy
```
Rules for the phases doc:
- Each phase has 5–12 checkbox tasks
- Tasks must be small enough to complete in <30 minutes each
- Reference Grit CLI commands (`grit generate ...`, `grit migrate`, `grit sync`) where appropriate
- Each phase ends with a "Verify" step listing what should work before moving on
### 3. `design-style-guide.md` — visual design system
Opinionated and specific. Cover:
- Brand voice (3 adjectives + tagline)
- Color palette — **all with hex codes** — in both dark and light mode: bg primary/secondary/tertiary/elevated, border, text primary/secondary/muted, accent (primary brand color), success, danger, warning, info
- Typography: UI font + code font (specific Google Fonts), type scale (xs through 4xl with px values)
- Spacing scale (4-px base)
- Border radius scale
- Key component patterns: buttons (primary, ghost, outline), cards (elevated, flat), data tables, forms, toasts, modals
- Page-level patterns: navbar, sidebar, dashboard layout, empty states, loading states
- Animation principles (durations, easings)
- Reference apps (e.g., "navbar feels like Linear; tables feel like Vercel dashboard")
### 4. `prompt.md` — the Claude Code prompt
This is the file I'll paste into Claude Code. It should:
- Open with a one-paragraph project recap
- Tell Claude Code to **read** `project-description.md`, `project-phases.md`, and `design-style-guide.md` **first** and hold those as load-bearing context
- Reference the Grit docs URLs above
- Tell Claude Code to scaffold with `grit new my-app --triple` if the project directory doesn't exist yet
- Tell Claude Code to work through `project-phases.md` **one phase at a time**, checking off boxes as it goes, and to **stop and report** at the end of each phase for review before starting the next
- Specify code conventions: snake_case Go files, kebab-case TS files, no `any` type, every error handled in Go, business logic lives in services not handlers, all data fetching through React Query / TanStack Query
- Specify the Grit API response shape it must use (`{ data, meta }` for lists, `{ data, message }` for single, `{ error: { code, message, details } }` for errors)
- Tell Claude Code to run `grit sync` after every Go model change
- Tell Claude Code to lean on `design-style-guide.md` for any UI work — never invent colors or spacing on the fly
## Critical instructions for you (planning Claude)
- Do NOT write Go or React code. You are planning only.
- Be opinionated. If I gave you a vague idea, make concrete choices and explain them in one sentence.
- For every feature you propose, ask yourself "what specific Grit primitive ships this?" and name it.
- If the project is a solo / indie ship with no separate admin staff, the `--single` kit is lighter; flag this in project-description.md.
- Output the four files as separate fenced code blocks, each with a `filename:` annotation, in order: project-description.md → project-phases.md → design-style-guide.md → prompt.md.
## My idea

Paste in claude.ai
Replace [YOUR IDEA] with a paragraph about your project.
Feed Claude Code
Save the 4 files Claude returns to your project root, then run prompt.md in Claude Code.
