nextjs-turbopack

To optimize Next.js 16 development builds with Turbopack, run 'next dev' to automatically enable the Rust-based incremental bundler, which provides faster cold starts and hot module replacement.

Incremental bundling solves slow development restart times in large Next.js applications by leveraging file-system caching, enabling faster hot module replacement and incremental updates.

Turbopack can be used for production builds in Next.js 16, but the Skill determines whether to use Turbopack or webpack based on the specific Next.js version and build type.

You do not need to configure Turbopack manually for development; it is automatically enabled when running 'next dev' in your Next.js 16+ environment to enhance development speed.

Choose Turbopack over webpack when you need to improve the development experience in large Next.js applications by utilizing Rust-based incremental updates for faster restart times.
