Next.js Docs

Next.js is the React framework for building full-stack web applications.

When to Use

• When developing applications using the Next.js framework (App Router or Pages Router).
• When you need to look up documentation on Next.js routing, data fetching, rendering, server components, API routes, or caching.
• When you need syntax, usage examples, or version-specific details for Next.js 14, 15, or 16.

When Not to Use

• When working on a plain React application without Next.js (use react-llms instead).
• When the context is already sufficiently clear and you do not need to read the official Next.js documentation.

Core Process

1. Identify the Topic: Determine which Next.js concept you need to look up (e.g., Server Components, Caching, App Router, Turbopack, or specific hooks like useRouter).
2. Fetch the Documentation Index: Read the primary llms.txt file from the References section below using an available web fetching tool.
3. Locate Specific Documents: Use the links provided in the index to fetch detailed documentation on the required topic.
4. Apply Context: Incorporate the fetched documentation into your task to ensure your code aligns with the official Next.js recommendations.

Core Principles

• Prefer Latest Docs: Always fetch the latest documentation for the current active LTS unless working explicitly with a legacy version.
• Agentic Loading: Do not attempt to guess or hallucinate Next.js APIs; always fetch the documentation dynamically to stay up to date.

References

To fully utilize this skill, you MUST read at least one of the links relevant to the current context:

• Next.js MUST read for a Next.js documentation index. This link includes recent blog posts, documentation, support policy, etc.
• Next.js Documentation: Complete Next.js documentation for LLMs. MUST read for reference and guides for Next.js
• Full Next.js Documentation MUST read when you need comprehensive documentation on Next.js APIs. MUST use a web reading tool that supports limits/pagination as this file is very large.
