The Next.js boilerplate
for AI coding tools.
We configure 108 production-ready files around your setup. Auth, payments, database, components, docs. All wired up.
Your idea stays yours. We don't store or share anything.
Unlimited projects. Lifetime updates. One payment.
built with zipbuild
Everything you need to ship
A complete boilerplate plus the methodology to use it properly.
Not a generic template.
Every boilerplate gives you the same files. This one asks what you are building first.
What type of app?
marketplace / SaaS / tool / platform
Who are your users?
roles, permissions
How does it make money?
subscriptions / one-time / free
What is the core feature?
matching / dashboard / content / booking
Your scaffold generates in 60 seconds. 7 AI agents. 60+ files.
Database schema, API routes, pages, components, docs. All configured for your answers.
generic boilerplate
Same 40 files for everyone. Figure it out yourself.
zipbuild
108 files configured for YOUR user roles, YOUR payment model, YOUR data structure. CLAUDE.md already knows your architecture.
This is a product configurator, not a data harvester.
Your session generates files, then it is gone. We are a boilerplate company.
69h before you build a single feature
ZipBuild gets you there in days, not months.
How it works
A clear, realistic timeline. No magic.
Configure your setup
~10 min
Tell the configurator what you are building, who it is for, and how it makes money. No forms. Just a conversation.
Watch it get built
60 sec
Your spec, database schema, API routes, and build plan generate in real time.
Download your scaffold
7 agents
7 specialist AI agents build your database, API, pages, components, and docs. Download the ZIP.
Hand it to your AI
Days to 2 weeks
Drop the scaffold into your project. Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI tool reads the full context and builds phase by phase.
Total: days to 2 weeks of focused work
works with your favourite AI coding tool
Any tool that reads markdown context
Not just a template. An operating system.
Other templates give you code and say "good luck." ZipBuild gives you a complete system for building production-grade software.
ZIPs
Zero-to-Implementation Packages
Your app broken into 10-15 focused build chunks. Each ZIP is 2-5 hours of work with clear entry and exit criteria. One at a time, no skipping around.
Quality Gates
Blocking Definition of Done
Not checklists you will ignore. Real gates that block merging. Code quality, security, database, testing, documentation. Nothing ships without passing.
Red Team
Attack Your Own Plans
Every major decision gets challenged before you build it. Find problems in minutes, not production. Built into the workflow, not an afterthought.
Technical Fluency
Understand What You Built
Plain-language architecture explanations. Investor-ready answers. Know WHY it works, not just THAT it works. Explain your product with confidence.

I have shipped 5 production SaaS platforms using this methodology. MDT alone has 284 API routes, 58 database models, and real paying customers. Every one was built by one person with AI tools and ZipBuild structure.
Every founder I talk to has the same story. Built something fast with AI, it worked for a week, then they could not change anything without breaking something else. No documentation. No structure. ZipBuild is the system I wish I had when I started.
