This project provided agent skills for Next.js development, aimed at developers seeking to integrate AI assistance into their workflow. The benefit was streamlined development through automated best practices, optimization, and knowledge retrieval, now integrated directly into the Next.js framework.

How It Works

Agent skills have been migrated to the main vercel/next.js repository to ensure version parity with the framework. Installation is now handled via npx skills add vercel/next.js. Reference knowledge, previously delivered as skills, is now automatically provided through Next.js's bundled documentation (next/dist/docs/) and agent rule files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md) generated by next dev (requiring Next.js 16.3+). This approach centralizes Next.js tooling and AI integration within the core framework.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: npx skills add vercel/next.js or npx skills add vercel/next.js --skill <skill-name> for specific skills.
• Prerequisites: Next.js 16.3+ is required for auto-generated agent rules (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md). For older versions (16.1 or earlier), run npx @next/codemod@canary agents-md to download bundled docs to .next-docs/.

Highlighted Details

• next-cache-components knowledge split into two workflow skills: next-cache-components-optimizer and next-cache-components-adoption.
• next-best-practices knowledge integrated into bundled docs and auto-generated agent rules.
• next-upgrade functionality replaced by bundled migration guides and the @next/codemod CLI tool.

Maintenance & Community

This repository is archived; development has moved to the main vercel/next.js repository. Community and maintenance efforts are now consolidated within that project.

Licensing & Compatibility

The README does not specify a license for this repository or its migrated components. Users should consult the licensing information within the vercel/next.js repository for details regarding usage, distribution, and compatibility, particularly for commercial applications.

Limitations & Caveats

This repository is no longer actively maintained. Skills installed from this old location will not receive updates. Auto-generated agent rule features require Next.js 16.3+; older versions require manual setup using @next/codemod. The absence of explicit licensing information is a significant caveat for adoption.
