nextjs-development — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
A reference skill for building modern Next.js applications in the app directory. It guides coding assistants through Server Components, routing, and cache revalidation.
npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill nextjs-development -a claude-codeWhat nextjs-development does
The skill guides the assistant through Next.js App Router conventions. It provides scaffolding patterns for root layouts in app/layout.tsx and dynamic routes like [slug]. Server components stay the default. The model isolates interactive state inside files marked with 'use client'.
Data fetching patterns rely on extended fetch options. The rules demonstrate cache control with force-cache alongside timed ISR revalidation via next: { revalidate: 60 }. They also show how to run concurrent requests with Promise.all.
This setup targets the app directory exclusively. Applying these templates to a legacy Pages Router project will break routing conventions.
What it helps with
- scaffold App Router layouts and dynamic slug pages
- separate Server Components from client-side state using
'use client' - configure fetch caching and ISR revalidation intervals
- orchestrate parallel server-side requests with
Promise.all
Example prompts for the agent
- Build a blog post page in
app/blog/[slug]/page.tsxthat fetches article data. - Split this dashboard page into a Server Component layout and a client component for counter state.
- Set up parallel data fetching with
Promise.allfor user details and posts inapp/user/page.tsx.

What does nextjs-development do?
It provides architecture rules for building applications with the Next.js App Router. Your assistant receives standard patterns for React Server Components, layout hierarchies, and caching options.
Does nextjs-development work with the legacy Pages Router?
No, the skill expects modern app directory routing. Using these conventions inside a project structured around the pages directory will violate framework assumptions.
