What it does

When installed, this skill gives an AI agent a set of Next.js best-practice guidelines to follow while helping with a web project. It steers the agent toward App Router conventions such as Server Components by default, route layouts and loading/error boundaries, API route handlers, middleware, image and font optimization, and caching or revalidation. It is written as guidance and contains no scripts or tools of its own.

Great for

  • Developers building or migrating a Next.js 14+ app who want the agent to follow App Router conventions
  • Teams wanting consistent guidance on Server Components, caching and ISR
  • Developers learning the difference between App Router and Pages Router patterns

Skip it if

  • Projects on the older Pages Router or non-Next.js frameworks, where the advice would not apply directly
  • Replacing official Next.js documentation for version-specific details, since the skill is general guidance and may lag behind framework changes
  • Security-critical decisions such as authentication design, since the skill only mentions middleware for auth at a high level

Try asking

  • “Create a new Next.js App Router page with a loading and error boundary for the dashboard route”
  • “Convert this client-side data fetch into a Server Component with proper caching”
  • “Set up middleware.ts with a matcher to redirect unauthenticated users”
  • “Add a Server Action to handle this form submission without a separate API route”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Point the agent at your Next.js version so it applies the correct conventions for that release
  • Ask the agent to explain why it chose Server or Client Components so you can verify the reasoning
  • Check generated caching and revalidation settings against your actual deployment target
