What problem does it solve?
Next.js 16+ development often suffers from slow startup and hot update times with legacy bundlers, and developers lack clear guidance on when to use Turbopack versus webpack for different dev and production scenarios.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Default Turbopack Dev Setup: Leverages Turbopack's incremental Rust-based bundler and file-system caching to deliver 5–14x faster cold starts and HMR for large Next.js projects.
- Bundler Selection Guidance: Clear rules for when to use Turbopack for day-to-day dev, when to fall back to webpack for Turbopack bugs or webpack-only plugins, and how production build bundler behavior varies by Next.js version.
- Use Case: If you are debugging slow Next.js dev startup, optimizing production bundle sizes, or setting up a new Next.js 16+ project, this skill gives you exact configuration steps and best practices to follow.
Quick Start
Use the nextjs-turbopack skill to get guidance for enabling Turbopack in your Next.js 16+ project and resolving slow dev startup or HMR performance issues.
