What This Skill Does

A skill for writing and reviewing Next.js code across the full surface area of the framework. Covers file conventions, RSC boundaries, async API changes in Next.js 15+, metadata, image and font optimization, error handling, route handlers, and bundling.

Manually tracking all Next.js conventions across RSC boundaries, async API changes, and file structure is error-prone; this skill enforces the current rules automatically as you write code.

When to use it

  • Catching async client component errors before they hit the browser
  • Migrating params and cookies to the Next.js 15 async API
  • Setting up OG image generation with next/og
  • Configuring next/image for remote sources with responsive sizes
  • Debugging hydration errors caused by browser-only APIs or invalid HTML
