Quick Start

Get up and running with Mavric DevEnv in under 5 minutes.

Step 1: Install Claude Code

If you don't have Claude Code installed:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
claude login

Step 2: Install Mavric

Run this in your project directory:

# Create a new project (or use an existing one)
mkdir my-saas-project
cd my-saas-project

# Install Mavric
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mavric/devenv/main/install.sh | bash

This adds:

  • .claude/ - AI skills and commands
  • .devenv/ - Development standards and references

Step 3: Start Building

Launch Claude Code:

claude

Then say:

I want to build a SaaS for [your idea]

Or use a slash command:

/start-project

What Happens Next

The AI guides you through:

Phase What Happens Output
Discovery 90-min structured interview Requirements document
Scenarios Generate Gherkin tests Executable specifications
Schema Design multi-tenant data model .apsorc schema file
Brief Synthesize into PRD Product requirements doc
Build Generate backend + auth Running Apso + BetterAuth
Iterate Build features with tests Complete application

Each phase requires your approval before proceeding.

Alternative: Quick Backend Setup

If you already have requirements and just need a backend:

Set up an Apso backend with BetterAuth authentication for my project

This skips discovery and sets up a running backend in ~5 minutes.

Verify Installation

In Claude Code, ask:

What skills do you have available?

You should see skills like saas-project-orchestrator, discovery-interviewer, backend-bootstrapper, etc.

Updating

Re-run the install command to update:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mavric/devenv/main/install.sh | bash
