SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Standardize Next.js development by codifying best practices into a centralized guide that reduces divergence and errors across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • File conventions and project structure guidance for Next.js apps (app router, routing schemes, and special files)
  • Server/Client boundaries and RSC data handling patterns to prevent hydration issues
  • Data patterns, runtime choices, metadata, error handling, route handlers, and performance optimizations
  • Reference material for image/font optimization and bundling considerations across environments

Quick Start

Review and apply the documented guidelines to a sample Next.js project to align architecture with recommended patterns.
