SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps developers structure and implement Next.js projects using the App Router with established, scalable best practices to improve maintainability and performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • App Router-based architecture: Organize routes with nested layouts and route groups for scalable projects.
  • Server Components-first: Default to server components to maximize performance and simplicity; add 'use client' where necessary.
  • Data fetching and mutations: Use server actions for mutations and server components for data fetching; avoid client-side fetch in effects for data integrity.
  • UI State patterns: Provide route-level loading and error handling with Suspense boundaries.
  • SEO and metadata: Leverage the Metadata API and static metadata where possible to optimize pages.

Quick Start

Start a new Next.js project with App Router enabled and apply these guidelines to structure app/, routes, and data flows.
