component-create-navigation

component-create-navigation is a cursor rule for Cursor from oakensoul/nextjs-cursor-prompts. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,323 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project rules for creating navigation components such as main menus, user menus, headers, and footers in a Next.js application.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding a new navigation component. It guides integration with the Next.js App Router, responsive behavior, ARIA landmarks, menu hierarchy, and component placement.
Why use it?
It helps make navigation usable with keyboards and screen readers while keeping routes, active states, mobile layouts, focus behavior, and interaction feedback consistent.

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

component-create-navigation 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 4d 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.

Please create a new navigation component following our specialized navigation patterns, routing integration, and accessibility standards.

  1. IMPLEMENT accessible navigation with proper ARIA landmarks, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support
  2. INTEGRATE with NextJS App Router for proper routing, active states, and navigation patterns
  3. ENSURE responsive design with mobile-first approach and progressive enhancement
  4. PROVIDE intuitive UX with clear hierarchy, focus management, and interaction feedback
  5. FOLLOW project standards for TypeScript, testing, and component architecture

STEP 1: Navigation Planning and Architecture

Determine Navigation Type and Location:
  • Client Component: src/components/client/navigation/ - Interactive navigation with state management
  • Server Component: src/components/server/layout/ - Static navigation for headers and footers
  • Navigation Categories:
    • Main Navigation: Primary site navigation (main-nav/)
    • User Navigation: User-specific menus and dropdowns (user-menu/)
    • Page Navigation: Breadcrumbs, pagination, step indicators (page-nav/)
    • Mobile Navigation: Responsive navigation patterns (mobile-nav/)
Navigation Pattern Assessment:
  • Header Navigation: Top-level navigation with dropdown menus
  • Sidebar Navigation: Side-mounted navigation with nested items
  • Breadcrumb Navigation: Hierarchical path navigation
  • Mobile Navigation: Hamburger menus, drawer navigation, bottom navigation
  • Dropdown Menus: Single-level and multi-level dropdown patterns
  • Mega Menus: Complex dropdown navigation with rich content

STEP 2: Routing and State Design

NextJS App Router Integration:
'use client'

import { usePathname } from 'next/navigation'
import Link from 'next/link'

interface NavigationItem {
  href: string
  label: string
  description?: string
  children?: NavigationItem[]
  external?: boolean
  disabled?: boolean
}

const navigationItems: NavigationItem[] = [
  {
    href: '/dashboard',
    label: 'Dashboard',
    description: 'Overview and quick actions'
  },
  {
    href: '/characters',
    label: 'Characters',
    children: [
      { href: '/characters', label: 'All Characters' },
      { href: '/characters/create', label: 'Create Character' },
      { href: '/characters/favorites', label: 'Favorites' }
    ]
  }
]

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
