## What it does

This skill instructs the agent on Turbopack architecture — the Rust-based incremental bundler built into Next.js. It establishes standards for App Router project layouts, Atomic Design organization, and dynamic component imports via `next/dynamic`.

The skill provides concrete configuration snippets for `next.config.js`, including custom loaders for SVG and MDX assets, `resolveAlias` definitions, and `tsconfig.json` compiler settings with `moduleResolution: "bundler"`. It also enforces writing compact utility modules to keep the Turbo engine functional cache valid across edits.

Running the development server requires Next.js 13.4 or higher with the `next dev --turbo` flag. Standard web formats like CSS Modules, PostCSS, and TypeScript run natively without setting up `css-loader` or `babel-loader`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill turbopack-bundler -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/turbopack-bundler/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/turbopack-bundler/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill turbopack-bundler -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/turbopack-bundler/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill turbopack-bundler -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/turbopack-bundler/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Mindrally/skills turbopack-bundler
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/turbopack-bundler/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill turbopack-bundler -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Mindrally/skills --path turbopack-bundler
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/turbopack-bundler/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill turbopack-bundler -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Mindrally/skills/tree/HEAD/turbopack-bundler/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- configure custom SVG and MDX loaders in `next.config.js`
- define path aliases across `tsconfig.json` and Turbopack settings
- structure modules to preserve Turbo engine incremental cache
- implement dynamic imports for heavy components using `next/dynamic`

## Example prompts
- Add custom rules to `next.config.js` for SVG processing using `@svgr/webpack`.
- Set up component path aliases and bundler module resolution in `tsconfig.json`.
- Show how to dynamically import a large chart component without server-side rendering.

# Turbopack Bundler

You are an expert in Turbopack, the incremental bundler optimized for JavaScript and TypeScript, written in Rust and built into Next.js. Follow these guidelines when working with Turbopack.

## Core Principles

- Turbopack is designed for incremental computation and caching
- Function-level caching through the Turbo engine
- Native Rust performance for fast builds
- Built-in support for TypeScript and JSX
- Optimized for Next.js integration
- Abstracts away webpack configurations

## Project Structure

```
project/
├── src/
│   ├── app/              # Next.js App Router
│   │   ├── layout.tsx
│   │   ├── page.tsx
│   │   └── globals.css
│   ├── components/       # Shared components
│   └── lib/              # Utility functions
├── public/               # Static assets
├── next.config.js        # Next.js configuration
├── tsconfig.json         # TypeScript config
└── package.json
```

## Enabling Turbopack

### Development Mode

```bash
# Next.js 13.4+
next dev --turbo

# Or in package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev --turbo"
  }
}
```

### Next.js Configuration

```javascript
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    turbo: {
      // Turbopack-specific configuration
    }
  }
};
```

## Configuration Options

### Custom Loaders

```javascript
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
  turbopack: {
    rules: {
      '*.svg': {
        loaders: ['@svgr/webpack'],
        as: '*.js'
      },
      '*.mdx': {
        loaders: ['@mdx-js/loader']
      }
    }
  }
};
```

### Resolve Aliases

```javascript
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
  turbopack: {
    resolveAlias: {
      '@components': './src/components',
      '@lib': './src/lib',
      '@styles': './src/styles'
    }
  }
};
```

### Resolve Extensions

```javascript
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
  turbopack: {
    resolveExtensions: ['.tsx', '.ts', '.jsx', '.js', '.json']
  }
};
```

## Built-in Support

Turbopack has built-in support for:

- **TypeScript**: No configuration needed
- **JSX/TSX**: Automatic transformation
- **CSS**: Native CSS support
- **CSS Modules**: `.module.css` files
- **PostCSS**: Automatic processing
- **Static Assets**: Images, fonts, etc.

No loaders needed for:
- `css-loader`
- `postcss-loader`
- `babel-loader` (for `@babel/preset-env`)

## TypeScript Configuration

### Recommended tsconfig.json

```json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2017",
    "lib": ["dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"],
    "allowJs": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "strict": true,
    "noEmit": true,
