  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads nextjs-mastery automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

Next.js Mastery

App Router Structure

app/
  layout.tsx              # Root layout (wraps all pages)
  page.tsx                # Home route /
  loading.tsx             # Route-level Suspense fallback
  error.tsx               # Route-level error boundary
  not-found.tsx           # Custom 404
  (marketing)/
    about/page.tsx        # /about (grouped without URL segment)
  dashboard/
    layout.tsx            # Nested layout for /dashboard/*
    page.tsx              # /dashboard
    @analytics/page.tsx   # Parallel route slot
    @activity/page.tsx    # Parallel route slot
    settings/
      page.tsx            # /dashboard/settings
  api/
    webhooks/route.ts     # Route handler (POST /api/webhooks)

Route groups (name) organize code without affecting URLs. Parallel routes @slot render multiple pages simultaneously.

Server Components and Data Fetching

async function ProductPage({ params }: { params: Promise<{ id: string }> }) {
  const { id } = await params;
  const product = await db.product.findUnique({ where: { id } });

  if (!product) notFound();

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{product.name}</h1>
      <p>{product.description}</p>
      <Suspense fallback={<ReviewsSkeleton />}>
        <Reviews productId={id} />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  );
}

async function Reviews({ productId }: { productId: string }) {
  const reviews = await db.review.findMany({ where: { productId } });
  return (
    <ul>
      {reviews.map(r => <li key={r.id}>{r.text} - {r.rating}/5</li>)}
    </ul>
  );
}

Server Components are the default. They run on the server, can access databases directly, and send zero JavaScript to the client.

ISR and Caching

export const revalidate = 3600;

async function BlogPage() {
  const posts = await fetch("https://api.example.com/posts", {
    next: { revalidate: 3600, tags: ["posts"] },
  }).then(r => r.json());

  return <PostList posts={posts} />;
}
import { revalidateTag, revalidatePath } from "next/cache";

export async function createPost(formData: FormData) {
  "use server";
  await db.post.create({ data: { title: formData.get("title") as string } });
  revalidateTag("posts");
  revalidatePath("/blog");
}

Middleware

import { NextResponse } from "next/server";
import type { NextRequest } from "next/server";

export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
  const token = request.cookies.get("session")?.value;

  if (request.nextUrl.pathname.startsWith("/dashboard") && !token) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL("/login", request.url));
  }

  const response = NextResponse.next();
  response.headers.set("x-request-id", crypto.randomUUID());
  return response;
}

export const config = {
  matcher: ["/dashboard/:path*", "/api/:path*"],
};

Middleware runs at the edge before every matched request. Keep it lightweight.

Server Actions

"use server";

import { z } from "zod";
import { revalidatePath } from "next/cache";

const schema = z.object({
  email: z.string().email(),
  name: z.string().min(2).max(100),
});

export async function updateProfile(prevState: any, formData: FormData) {
  const parsed = schema.safeParse(Object.fromEntries(formData));
  if (!parsed.success) {
    return { errors: parsed.error.flatten().fieldErrors };
  }

  await db.user.update({
    where: { email: parsed.data.email },
    data: { name: parsed.data.name },
  });

  revalidatePath("/profile");
  return { success: true };
}

Anti-Patterns

  • Adding 'use client' to top-level layout or page components
  • Fetching data on the client when it can be done in a Server Component
  • Using useEffect for data fetching instead of Server Components or use()
  • Not wrapping slow async components with <Suspense>
  • Putting heavy logic in middleware (it runs on every matched request)
  • Ignoring loading.tsx and error.tsx conventions

Checklist

  • Server Components used by default; 'use client' only on interactive leaves
  • Data fetching happens in Server Components with proper caching
  • <Suspense> boundaries wrap independent async sections
  • loading.tsx and error.tsx exist for key routes
  • Middleware is lightweight and only handles auth/redirects/headers
  • Server Actions validate input with Zod before database writes
  • revalidateTag or revalidatePath called after mutations
  • Route groups and parallel routes used to organize complex layouts
