SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Next.js 16 introduces a new App Router paradigm and updated caching APIs; this skill guides teams to migrate and adopt the new architecture for production apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • App Router patterns: layouts, routing, loading, and error boundaries with Next.js 16.
  • Server Components, Server Actions, and Route Handlers: build server-first data flows with enhanced performance.
  • Caching and revalidation APIs: use of "use cache", revalidatePath, revalidateTag, and PPR/ISR patterns for scalable apps.
  • Migration and modernization: codemod-assisted upgrade from Next.js 15 to 16, with parallel routes and proxy.ts migration.

Quick Start

Run the Next.js 16 codemod upgrade latest and follow the migration guide to upgrade your app.
