Does it support Next.js integration?

Absolutely, the skill covers using the Payload instance within Next.js Server Components, API routes, and handling revalidation logic via hooks.

Can this skill help with custom Payload plugins?

Yes, it includes architectural patterns for creating plugins, including spreading fields into collections and preserving existing hooks during initialization.

How does it assist with database transactions?

It identifies common pitfalls where nested operations in hooks break atomicity and provides the correct syntax for passing the request context to maintain transaction integrity.

How does this skill handle Payload access control?

It provides patterns for both field-level and row-level security, emphasizing the critical use of the overrideAccess: false flag to ensure Local API operations don't bypass security checks.
