Quick Navigation
- Critical Rules - Read this first
- Step 1: Pre-Flight - Verify prerequisites
- Step 2: Subscription Pricing - Set monthly price
- Step 3: AI Token Billing - Configure AI margins
- Step 4: Vibe Token Config - Set revenue share
- Step 5: Stripe Connect - Developer onboarding
- Step 6: Deploy - Build and deploy
- Step 7: Generate Invite Codes - Invite partners
CRITICAL RULES - READ FIRST
DO NOT generate code manually. This skill uses pre-built scripts and API calls:
| Step | Tool | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Assembly | assemble-factory.js | Generates unified index.html |
| Deploy | deploy-cloudflare.js | Deploys to Cloudflare Workers |
| Configure | POST /app/configure | Stores billing config in KV |
| Initialize | POST /token/:appName/initialize | Sets up Vibe Token economics |
| Grant | POST /token/:appName/grant | Grants tokens to partners |
Script location:
VIBES_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(dirname "$(dirname "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}")")}"
Factory API base: https://factory.vibesos.com
Factory - App Monetization Pipeline
Transform your Vibes app into a revenue-generating SaaS with token-backed contributor rewards.
Architecture
The factory skill sets up:
- Stripe Subscriptions — flat monthly price + metered AI token billing
- Vibe Token Economics — revenue-sharing tokens for distribution partners
- Factory Dashboard — manage tokens, view revenue, process payouts
All configuration is stored in the factory worker. Token state lives in a Durable Object per app.
Terminal or Editor UI?
Detect whether you're running in a terminal (Claude Code CLI) or an editor. Terminal agents use AskUserQuestion for all input. Editor agents present requirements as a checklist comment, wait for user edits, then proceed. See the vibes skill for the full detection and interaction pattern.
Step 1: Pre-Flight
Before starting, verify these prerequisites. STOP if any check fails.
1.1 Auth Check
Auth is automatic — on first deploy, a browser window opens for Pocket ID login. Tokens are cached at ~/.vibes/auth.json for subsequent deploys.
1.2 Detect Existing App
ls -la app.jsx 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_FOUND"
Decision tree:
- Found
app.jsx-> Proceed to Step 2 - Found multiple
riff-*/app.jsx-> Ask user to select one - Found nothing -> Tell user to run
/vibes:vibesfirst
1.3 Check Existing Config
VIBES_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(dirname "$(dirname "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}")")}"
APP_NAME="${1:-}"
if [ -n "$APP_NAME" ]; then
curl -s "https://factory.vibesos.com/connect/status/$APP_NAME" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ~/.vibes/auth.json | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['accessToken'])")" 2>/dev/null
fi
If the app already has billing configured, offer to update or show current config.
1.4 Pre-Flight Summary
"Pre-flight checks passed:
- App found (app.jsx)
- Auth is automatic via Pocket ID
Ready to configure your app factory."
Step 2: Subscription Pricing
Use AskUserQuestion:
Question 1: "What should your app cost per month?"
Header: "Monthly Price"
Options:
- "$5/month"
- "$10/month"
- "$25/month"
- Other (enter custom amount)
Description: "This is the flat monthly subscription price. AI token usage is billed separately."
Question 2: "Offer a free trial?"
Header: "Free Trial"
Options:
- "No trial"
- "7-day trial"
- "14-day trial"
Description: "Trial lets users try before paying. Stripe handles the trial period automatically."
Store: price (number, dollars), trialDays (number, 0/7/14)
Step 3: AI Token Billing
Use AskUserQuestion:
Question: "Does your app use AI features?"
Header: "AI Billing"
Options:
- Label: "No AI features"
Description: "Skip AI billing setup"
- Label: "Yes, 2x margin (recommended)"
Description: "Customers pay 2x the model cost. You keep the difference."
- Label: "Yes, 3x margin"
Description: "Higher margin, customers pay 3x model cost."
- Label: "Yes, custom margin"
Description: "Enter your own multiplier."
If AI is enabled, explain:
"OpenRouter routes to the underlying provider; the factory worker meters token usage per customer and posts events to a shared Stripe Billing Meter. Your customers will see AI usage as a line item on their monthly invoice alongside the flat subscription fee."
Store: aiMarginPercent (number: 0 for no AI, 200 for 2x, 300 for 3x, etc.)
Step 4: Vibe Token Configuration
Use AskUserQuestion:
Question: "What percentage of revenue should flow to token holders? This is locked forever."
Header: "Revenue Share (Alpha)"
Options:
- "10% — Conservative"
- "15% — Balanced"
- "20% — Generous (recommended)"
- "25% — Very generous"
- Other (enter custom %)
Description: "Alpha determines how much of each invoice goes to Vibe Token holders. Higher alpha = more attractive to partners, but less developer take-home. This cannot be changed after launch."
Store: alpha (number, 0.10-0.50)
Auto-calculate remaining parameters:
const k = Math.max((price * 12) / 10_000_000, 0.005);
const preMint = Math.round(100 * price * 12);
const initialPrice = k * Math.sqrt(1000); // price at s_min
Show summary and confirm:
Use AskUserQuestion:
Question: "Confirm these token economics? (This is permanent)"
Header: "Token Summary"
Options:
- "Confirm and proceed"
- "Go back and adjust"
Description: |
Revenue Share: {alpha*100}%
Pricing Constant (k): {k}
Treasury Size: {preMint} tokens
Initial Token Price: ${initialPrice.toFixed(4)}
Formula: P = {k} * sqrt(supply)
At 100 subscribers ($X/mo each):
- Monthly revenue: ${price * 100}
- Token holder pool: ${Math.floor(alpha * price * 100 * 100)/100}
- Token price: ${(k * Math.sqrt(1000 + preMint * 0.1)).toFixed(4)}
Step 5: Stripe Connect Onboarding
Get the auth token:
TOKEN=$(cat ~/.vibes/auth.json | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['accessToken'])" 2>/dev/null || echo "")
Create Stripe Connect account:
curl -s -X POST "https://factory.vibesos.com/connect/onboard" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{\"appName\": \"$APP_NAME\"}"
Expected response: { "ok": true, "url": "https://connect.stripe.com/...", "accountId": "acct_..." }
Open the onboarding URL in the user's browser:
open "$ONBOARD_URL" # macOS
Poll for completion:
while true; do
STATUS=$(curl -s "https://factory.vibesos.com/connect/status/$APP_NAME" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN")
COMPLETE=$(echo "$STATUS" | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin).get('complete', False))")
if [ "$COMPLETE" = "True" ]; then
echo "Stripe Connect
