Future SaaS Template

The future SaaS template defines the reusable project layout that should be considered for later products.

Future SaaS projects should separate implementation, board memory, backups, external experimentation, and automation labs.

Separation keeps implementation history, generated intelligence, experiments, and automation from contaminating each other.

  • ForYouTune board structure
  • Automation plan
  • Harness docs
  • Source safety rules

ForYouTune used a separate development repo and board repo, with external lab and automation lab boundaries defined outside the board.

Use explicit repo and folder boundaries before adding automation.

Path PatternPurpose
PROJECT_DEVMain product implementation and raw project history
PROJECT_BOARDHistory-first board, generated docs, curated records, exports
PROJECT_BACKUPBackup and historical archives outside active automation
PROJECT_EXTERNAL_AI_LABExternal AI experiments and study-only outputs
PROJECT_AUTO_LABAutomation experiments before promotion
  • Whether each path has a clear write owner
  • Whether the board sync has read-only access to source
  • Whether external labs are prevented from becoming source of truth

Start future SaaS projects with the same separation, then adapt naming and categories to the new product.
