What 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.tsx that 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.all for user details and posts in app/user/page.tsx.
