What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates slow local development startup and hot module reload (HMR) performance issues for Next.js 16+ applications, removing the friction of long wait times during daily coding and iteration.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Default Turbopack Dev: Leverages Rust-based incremental bundling for 5–14x faster cold starts and HMR out of the box for Next.js 16+ local development, with automatic file-system caching to speed up restarts.
- Webpack Fallback Support: Enables switching to legacy webpack only if you encounter a Turbopack bug or rely on webpack-only dev plugins, with clear guidance on disabling Turbopack for your Next.js version.
- Production Bundle Optimization: Helps you use the Next.js 16.1+ experimental Bundle Analyzer to inspect build output, identify heavy dependencies, and trim production bundle sizes.
- Use Case: If you are working on a large Next.js 16+ app where dev restarts take 30 seconds or more, this Skill helps you configure Turbopack caching to cut restart time to a few seconds, and troubleshoot unexpected production bundle bloat.
