Sortie Labs

Sortie Labs · a studio for AI-native builders

Production starters for people who build with AI.

Sortie Labs builds the foundations serious teams launch on — auth, billing, agent rails, evals. A sortie is one clean mission: each kit does its job completely, then gets out of your way.

Or start free with AgentShip Lite — no card, MIT-licensed.

The fleet·AgentShip·Toolport·Groundtruth

You're going to build your next thing with an agent anyway.

Generic starters fight that — undocumented conventions, rules that live in the founder's head, no way for the agent to check its own work. Sortie builds the other way: the conventions are written down, the security is in the structure, and there's a verify step the agent has to pass. Foundations, shipped honestly.

# Rules your agent must follow

- service-role key: only in api/webhook/

- plan state: server-writes only

- run verify.sh after every change

The stack

Built on tools you already trust.

Nothing exotic to learn — just Next.js 16, TypeScript, Tailwind v4, Supabase, Stripe, Vercel

The fleet

Three kits. One flight path.

Ship it with AgentShip, extend it with Toolport, then trust it with Groundtruth. Each kit stands alone — buy the one you need, or fly the whole path.

AgentShip

Next.js SaaS starter

The SaaS foundation built to be built ON by an AI agent — auth, billing, and rails your agent won't break.

  • Supabase magic-link auth + protected dashboard, RLS locked
  • Stripe subscriptions with a signature-verified webhook
  • AGENTS.md rules your coding agent actually follows
  • verify.sh gate: typecheck + lint + build after every change

02 · Extend it● Available

Toolport

TypeScript MCP server starter

Stand up a production Model Context Protocol server your agents can actually use — typed tools, auth, deploy included.

  • Typed tool + resource definitions with validation
  • Local (stdio) and remote (HTTP/SSE) transports out of the box
  • Auth, rate limiting, and error contracts done right
  • Worked examples: DB query, HTTP fetch, file access

Groundtruth

AI evals & regression harness

Know your prompts and agents still work before your users do — an evals harness that gates every release.

  • Dataset + assertion framework for prompts and agents
  • LLM-as-judge scoring with human-review overrides
  • Snapshot regression across model and prompt changes
  • CI gate + pass-rate trends so quality can't quietly drift

Flight gear · Claude Code power pack

Flight Kit — discipline for Claude Code, in a drop-in pack.

A production AGENTS.md, four skills, three slash-commands and a verify hook that keep your agent on the rails and off your token budget. Five-minute install, works in any repo.

  • Installs in 5 minutes — drop-in files, nothing to build
  • Works in any repo and any stack; edit two placeholders and go
  • Read by Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot
  • Personal + commercial use across your own and client projects

How we build

Four rules every sortie follows

01

One kit, one mission

A sortie is a single flight. Each kit does its job completely — and stays small enough that you and your agent can read every file in it.

02

Built for agents, on purpose

Conventions written down, security in the structure, a verify step the rules enforce. The rails that let an AI agent build on top without quietly breaking things.

03

No hype, no fake traction

Every claim on a Sortie kit is literally true of the shipped code. Focused starter or full platform — we tell you exactly which.

04

Runs on free tiers

Everything ships to run on free tiers until you have revenue. You shouldn't pay to find out whether an idea works.

Questions

Before you buy

What exactly do I get?
Production-ready source code you own, plus the docs and agent rules that make it fast to extend. All three kits — AgentShip, Toolport, and Groundtruth — ship today as downloadable kits.
Why 'built for AI agents'?
You're going to build with a coding agent anyway. Our kits write the conventions down, keep the security in the structure, and include a verify step — so the agent can extend the code without breaking it.
Do I need to pay for hosting or APIs?
No. Every kit is designed to run on free tiers — Vercel, Supabase, Stripe test mode — until you actually have revenue.
Can I use these for client work?
Yes. AgentShip is licensed for unlimited projects for you or your clients. You just can't resell it as a competing starter.

Start your next build on rails your agent can read.

The whole fleet is live — ship it with AgentShip, extend it with Toolport, trust it with Groundtruth. Every kit runs on free tiers until you have revenue.
