nextjs

nextjs is a skill for Claude Code from bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (2,229 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to environment variables in Next.js, a framework for building web applications with React. It explains environment-specific files, which value takes precedence, and which variables are exposed to the browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when configuring local, test, or production settings and deploying a Next.js application to services such as Vercel, Railway, or Heroku.
Why use it?
It helps avoid using the wrong setting for development or deployment, or accidentally exposing a secret to users.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python scripts/validate_env.py .env.local --framework nextjs.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

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 12d 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 Environment Variable Structure

Complete guide to Next.js environment variable management.

File Structure

my-nextjs-app/
├── .env                      # Shared defaults (committed)
├── .env.local               # Local secrets (gitignored)
├── .env.development         # Development defaults (committed)
├── .env.development.local   # Local dev overrides (gitignored)
├── .env.production          # Production defaults (committed)
├── .env.production.local    # Production secrets (gitignored)
├── .env.test                # Test environment (committed)
└── .env.example             # Documentation (committed)

File Precedence

Next.js loads files in this order (higher = higher precedence):

  1. .env.$(NODE_ENV).local (e.g., .env.production.local)
  2. .env.local (not loaded in test environment)
  3. .env.$(NODE_ENV) (e.g., .env.production)
  4. .env

Example: In production, if DATABASE_URL is defined in both .env and .env.production.local, the value from .env.production.local wins.

Variable Types

Client-Side Variables (NEXT_PUBLIC_*)

Exposed to the browser. Must prefix with NEXT_PUBLIC_.

# .env.local
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://api.example.com
NEXT_PUBLIC_ANALYTICS_ID=UA-123456789
NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_NAME=My Awesome Site
NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_FEATURE_X=true

Access in code:

// Works in both client and server
const apiUrl = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL;

// Usage in components
export default function MyComponent() {
  return <div>API: {process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL}</div>;
}

⚠️ Security Warning: NEVER put secrets in NEXT_PUBLIC_* variables!

# ❌ WRONG - Secret exposed to browser
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_SECRET=sk_live_abc123

# ✅ CORRECT - Secret only on server
API_SECRET=sk_live_abc123

Server-Side Variables

Only available in server-side code (API routes, getServerSideProps, etc.).

# .env.local
DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost:5432/mydb
JWT_SECRET=super-secret-jwt-key-do-not-expose
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_abc123
SMTP_PASSWORD=email-password-here

What ships with it

1 file 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.

nextjs is a skill published in the GitHub repository bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills (75 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 2,229 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
