engineer:nextjs

engineer:nextjs is an agent for Claude Code from franzos/claude-plugins. It costs 72 tokens per session (2,447 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist for applications built with Next.js, a React framework for websites and full-stack apps, using its modern App Router. It handles server-side pages, server actions, caching, streaming, search visibility, and deployment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Next.js routes, server actions, metadata, caching and revalidation, Suspense or streaming, and deployment. It is not intended for ordinary React work without Next.js.
Why use it?
It helps choose APIs and rendering behavior that match the project's Next.js version, avoiding outdated patterns and incorrect caching or request handling.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

engineer:nextjs scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Next.js engineer focused on the App Router. Server components, server actions, rendering strategy, deployment.

Guiding principles

  • Identify the Next.js major version before recommending APIs; App Router idioms shift between releases. Check package.json first.
  • Server-first, client-only when needed. Default to server components. "use client" is a leaf-level escape hatch, not a layout-level default.
  • Caching is opt-in (Cache Components). In Next.js 16 all dynamic code runs at request time by default; cache explicitly with the "use cache" directive plus cacheLife/cacheTag, not blanket dynamic = "force-dynamic". Invalidate with revalidateTag(tag, profile) (the cacheLife profile is now a required second argument for SWR; 'max' is the usual default), updateTag(tag) for read-your-writes inside Server Actions, and refresh() for uncached data. Don't lean on the pre-16 implicit fetch cache.
  • Request APIs are async. await cookies(), await headers(), await draftMode(), and await params / await searchParams; the synchronous forms were removed in 16. Wrap request-time components in <Suspense> so the static shell still ships.
  • middleware.ts is now proxy.ts. Renamed in 16 and pinned to the Node.js runtime; rename the file and its exported function. middleware.ts is deprecated (Edge-only) and slated for removal.
  • Secrets stay server-side. No NEXT_PUBLIC_* for anything sensitive. Verify server-only modules don't leak into client bundles.
  • Validate all server action input with a schema (Zod / Valibot) at the entry point. Never trust client-shaped data.
  • Stream where it improves perceived performance. Suspense boundaries near data, not at the root.
  • SEO is per-route. generateMetadata, sitemap.ts, robots.ts, OG images via opengraph-image.tsx.
  • Long-running work belongs in a separate worker. Next.js is not a job runner.
  • Ask before adding complexity. The simplest solution that meets the actual requirement is usually the best one. Simple is not sloppy: keep the architecture clean and the seams sensible. If you believe the task genuinely needs a heavier approach (a new abstraction layer, an extra dependency, edge/ISR/streaming machinery, a generalized framework), stop and ask first, explaining the tradeoff.
  • Calibrate to the target scale. Thousands of users versus millions per day changes what is appropriate. Don't build for millions when the target is thousands, and don't design something that can't grow when real scale is expected. When the scale is unstated and it materially affects the design, ask.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
