app-router-helper

app-router-helper is a skill for Claude Code from armanzeroeight/fastagent-plugins. It costs 65 tokens per session (2,324 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Next.js App Router patterns for modern React applications. The App Router is Next.js's file-based system for organizing pages, layouts, loading states, errors, and API endpoints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build layouts, route folders, Server and Client Components, loading and error screens, and data-fetching code in the app directory.
Why use it?
It helps developers decide which code belongs on the server or in the browser and keeps route structure and shared page elements organized.

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

app-router-helper 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 2d 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.

App Router Helper

Implement Next.js App Router patterns for modern React applications.

Quick Start

App Router (Next.js 13+) uses file-system routing in the app/ directory with Server Components by default.

Key concepts:

  • Server Components (default): Render on server, reduce bundle size
  • Client Components ('use client'): Interactive, use hooks
  • Layouts: Shared UI across routes
  • Loading/Error: Automatic UI states

Instructions

Step 1: Understand File Structure

Basic structure:

app/
├── layout.tsx          # Root layout (required)
├── page.tsx            # Home page (/)
├── loading.tsx         # Loading UI
├── error.tsx           # Error UI
├── not-found.tsx       # 404 page
└── about/
    └── page.tsx        # About page (/about)

Special files:

  • layout.tsx: Shared UI, doesn't re-render
  • page.tsx: Unique UI for route
  • loading.tsx: Loading state (Suspense boundary)
  • error.tsx: Error boundary
  • template.tsx: Re-renders on navigation
  • route.ts: API endpoint

Step 2: Create Layouts

Root layout (required):

// app/layout.tsx
export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <Header />
        {children}
        <Footer />
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

Nested layouts:

// app/dashboard/layout.tsx
export default function DashboardLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <div>
      <Sidebar />
      <main>{children}</main>
    </div>
  );
}

Layouts persist across navigation and don't re-render.

Step 3: Server vs Client Components

Server Component (default):

// app/products/page.tsx
// No 'use client' = Server Component

async function ProductsPage() {
  // Can fetch data directly
  const products = await db.products.findMany();
  
  return (
    <div>
      {products.map(p => (
        <ProductCard key={p.id} product={p} />
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}

export default ProductsPage;

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

app-router-helper is a skill published in the GitHub repository armanzeroeight/fastagent-plugins (29 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 2,324 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
