Next.js App Router Best Practices
Guides development of high-performance Next.js applications using App Router architecture and modern data fetching patterns.
This skill provides Claude with a comprehensive architectural framework for developing modern Next.js applications. It focuses on the App Router paradigm, helping developers navigate the complexities of Server vs. Client Components, implement efficient data fetching strategies (including ISR and on-demand revalidation), and organize projects using standard file conventions. By enforcing performance-first principles like image optimization and bundle analysis, it ensures that generated code is scalable, SEO-friendly, and follows the latest industry standards.
