act-sdk-js: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/next-best-practices/SKILL.md

next-best-practices is a skill for Claude Code from act-sdk/act-sdk-js. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,017 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of next-best-practices, MIT.

A set of rules for building and reviewing Next.js applications, a framework for React websites and web apps. It covers file layout, server and browser code, asynchronous data, errors, routes, metadata, images, fonts, and bundles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing Next.js routes, server components, client components, data loading, metadata, error handling, images, fonts, and build output.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common Next.js mistakes, especially around code that runs on the server versus in the browser and changes to newer asynchronous APIs.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is act-sdk/act-sdk-js's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on act-sdk-js itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything act-sdk-js configures →

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

next-best-practices 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 8d 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.

Next.js Best Practices

Apply these rules when writing or reviewing Next.js code.

File Conventions

See file-conventions.md for:

  • Project structure and special files
  • Route segments (dynamic, catch-all, groups)
  • Parallel and intercepting routes
  • Middleware rename in v16 (middleware → proxy)

RSC Boundaries

Detect invalid React Server Component patterns.

See rsc-boundaries.md for:

  • Async client component detection (invalid)
  • Non-serializable props detection
  • Server Action exceptions

Async Patterns

Next.js 15+ async API changes.

See async-patterns.md for:

  • Async params and searchParams
  • Async cookies() and headers()
  • Migration codemod

Runtime Selection

See runtime-selection.md for:

  • Default to Node.js runtime
  • When Edge runtime is appropriate

Directives

See directives.md for:

  • 'use client', 'use server' (React)
  • 'use cache' (Next.js)

Functions

See functions.md for:

  • Navigation hooks: useRouter, usePathname, useSearchParams, useParams
  • Server functions: cookies, headers, draftMode, after
  • Generate functions: generateStaticParams, generateMetadata

Error Handling

See error-handling.md for:

  • error.tsx, global-error.tsx, not-found.tsx
  • redirect, permanentRedirect, notFound
  • forbidden, unauthorized (auth errors)
  • unstable_rethrow for catch blocks

Data Patterns

See data-patterns.md for:

  • Server Components vs Server Actions vs Route Handlers
  • Avoiding data waterfalls (Promise.all, Suspense, preload)
  • Client component data fetching

Route Handlers

See route-handlers.md for:

  • route.ts basics
  • GET handler conflicts with page.tsx
  • Environment behavior (no React DOM)
  • When to use vs Server Actions

Metadata & OG Images

See metadata.md for:

  • Static and dynamic metadata
  • generateMetadata function
  • OG image generation with next/og
  • File-based metadata conventions

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.
