What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams migrate Next.js Pages Router routes to the App Router, unifying routing patterns and improving data fetching discipline across the app.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided migration: step-by-step conversion of routes from pages to app structure, including page.tsx, loading.tsx, and error.tsx.
  • Data fetching modernization: move data fetches into server components and adopt file-based routing conventions with layout and route-level components.
  • Auth and navigation updates: update guards and navigations to use next/navigation for client/server boundaries.
  • Use Case: retrofit a large Next.js application to App Router to enable server components and reduce client-side code.

Quick Start

Begin by creating apps/<app>/src/app/<route>/page.tsx (server component) and move relevant data fetching, then implement loading.tsx and error.tsx for UX resilience.
