Agentic Development

How Varel turns Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot into higher-quality SaaS shipping partners.

1

AGENTS.md is the canonical instruction file for coding agents and the source of truth for the critical change checklist.

2

The checklist forces agents to consider SEO, Polar billing, marketing/product sync, data boundaries, auth, env, email, analytics, accessibility, docs, and deployability on every task.

3

Tool-specific files stay thin and point back to the shared source of truth so Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and Copilot all follow the same expectations.

4

The repo skill captures common feature, billing, email, data, marketing, and agent-guidance workflows for repeatable Codex runs.

5

pnpm varel doctor gives agents and beginners a dev/preview/prod setup report before they touch third-party dashboards or APIs.

6

pnpm varel setup plan shows the provider-native environment split for Clerk, Convex, Polar, Resend, PostHog, and Vercel.

7

pnpm polar:doctor checks the official Polar checkout, benefit, customer portal, and GitHub repository access handoff.

8

pnpm cal:doctor verifies the internal Cal.com consulting booking handoff and keeps the Polar payment split explicit.

9

pnpm agent:preflight turns the checklist into executable checks for env sync, metadata, proxy coverage, billing consistency, and Convex adapter honesty.

10

pnpm agent:mcp exposes Varel repo truth through a local MCP entrypoint for agent clients.

The guidance layer is part of the product surface: it helps first-time builders avoid footguns and helps seasoned engineers move faster without lowering the engineering bar.
