nextjs-app-router-patterns

nextjs-app-router-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from EngineerWithAI/engineerwith-agents. It costs 48 tokens per session (3,259 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for building Next.js applications with the App Router, a file-based routing system for modern React applications. It covers server-rendered pages, data loading, caching, and advanced routes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create routes, Server Components, streaming interfaces, parallel routes, API endpoints, and Server Actions.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose where code runs and how pages load when building full-stack Next.js features.

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-app-router-patterns scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Next.js App Router Patterns

Comprehensive patterns for Next.js 14+ App Router architecture, Server Components, and modern full-stack React development.

When to Use This Skill

  • Building new Next.js applications with App Router
  • Migrating from Pages Router to App Router
  • Implementing Server Components and streaming
  • Setting up parallel and intercepting routes
  • Optimizing data fetching and caching
  • Building full-stack features with Server Actions

Core Concepts

1. Rendering Modes

Mode Where When to Use
Server Components Server only Data fetching, heavy computation, secrets
Client Components Browser Interactivity, hooks, browser APIs
Static Build time Content that rarely changes
Dynamic Request time Personalized or real-time data
Streaming Progressive Large pages, slow data sources

2. File Conventions

app/
├── layout.tsx       # Shared UI wrapper
├── page.tsx         # Route UI
├── loading.tsx      # Loading UI (Suspense)
├── error.tsx        # Error boundary
├── not-found.tsx    # 404 UI
├── route.ts         # API endpoint
├── template.tsx     # Re-mounted layout
├── default.tsx      # Parallel route fallback
└── opengraph-image.tsx  # OG image generation

Quick Start

// app/layout.tsx
import { Inter } from 'next/font/google'
import { Providers } from './providers'

const inter = Inter({ subsets: ['latin'] })

export const metadata = {
  title: { default: 'My App', template: '%s | My App' },
  description: 'Built with Next.js App Router',
}

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en" suppressHydrationWarning>
      <body className={inter.className}>
        <Providers>{children}</Providers>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

// app/page.tsx - Server Component by default
async function getProducts() {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/products', {
    next: { revalidate: 3600 }, // ISR: revalidate every hour
  })
  return res.json()
}

export default async function HomePage() {
  const products = await getProducts()

  return (
    <main>
      <h1>Products</h1>
      <ProductGrid products={products} />
    </main>
  )
}

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.
