SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive Arcjet security integration for Next.js 16 applications, enabling built-in protections such as Shield WAF, rate limiting, bot detection, email validation, and sensitive information detection to reduce attack surfaces.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Shield WAF Protection: Protects all routes by default with live or dry-run modes.
  • Bot Protection & Rate Limiting: Combines bot detection with token bucket or other rate-limiting strategies to prevent abuse on APIs and forms.
  • Email Validation & Sensitive Information: Validates user emails and detects PII to prevent fraudulent signups and data leaks.
  • Middleware & Combined Rules: Demonstrates applying Arcjet rules globally or per-route for layered security.

Quick Start

Install Arcjet, configure ARCJET_KEY, and integrate the setup in your Next.js app as shown in the examples.

Frequently Asked Questions about arcjet-security-skills

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add rate limiting and bot detection to my Next.js API routes?▼

Next.js API routes can be secured using Arcjet by applying combined token bucket and detectBot rules, preventing automated abuse while allowing legitimate traffic to pass through endpoints.

What is the best way to protect Next.js authentication flows from fraudulent signups?▼

Next.js authentication flows are protected from fraudulent signups by applying Arcjet email validation and sensitive information detection rules to verify user emails and block PII data leaks.

Does Arcjet Shield WAF work with Next.js middleware for global route protection?▼

Yes, Arcjet Shield WAF integrates with Next.js middleware to protect all routes by default, allowing you to apply security rules globally or per-route using live or dry-run configuration modes.

How do I configure environment variables to set up Arcjet security in a Next.js app?▼

Configuring Arcjet security in a Next.js app requires installing the Arcjet package, setting the ARCJET_KEY environment variable, and integrating the setup within your application's middleware or API endpoints.

Can I apply different rate limiting strategies for forms versus AI chat features in Next.js?▼

Different rate limiting strategies can be applied across forms and AI chat features in Next.js by configuring specific Arcjet token bucket rules per endpoint, layering security to block attacks on high-risk interactions.
