next-partial-prefetching-optimizer

next-partial-prefetching-optimizer is a skill for Claude Code from vercel/next.js. It costs 82 tokens per session (2,438 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for tuning which parts of a Next.js page are fetched before a user clicks a link. Next.js is a web framework, and partial prefetching loads some navigation content early to make selected transitions feel faster.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to optimize selected Next.js links and destinations, compare navigation behavior, and keep a regression test for the result.
Why use it?
It helps choose what to fetch early without unnecessarily downloading page content, then checks that the change preserves existing behavior.

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-partial-prefetching-optimizer 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 19d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 231 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Partial Prefetching optimizer

Optimize each requested source link and destination as its own contract. Turn the requested prefetched UI, navigation-only UI, and trigger into a production instant() test. Record the current behavior, make the smallest optimization, verify the differential, and keep the passing test as regression coverage.

Before making framework changes, read the bundled Optimizing prefetching guide at node_modules/next/dist/docs/01-app/02-guides/optimizing-prefetching.md. If the bundled guide is unavailable, use the online guide. It is the source of truth for prefetch stages, prefetch={true}, session-specific UI, and cost trade-offs.

When the work changes what belongs in the App Shell, follow the Instant navigation and Caching docs for cache placement, Suspense boundaries, loading UI, and authorization.

The guides own framework behavior and implementation patterns. This skill owns the navigation contract, production rig, trustworthy RED-to-GREEN loop, parity check, differential, and report.

This is not an adoption skill. If Cache Components or Partial Prefetching are not adopted, use their adoption skills and return to this workflow. If the App Shell itself cannot commit under instant(), use next-cache-components-optimizer first, then resume the selected navigation.

Run the workflow unattended. Resolve the contract from the request and the existing application. Stop for user input only when a product decision is genuinely blocked and cannot be inferred safely without changing cost, freshness, authorization, or user-visible behavior.

Reporting to the user

This loop runs unattended, so do not stop between implementation steps. Finish the navigations the user named, then check in. The rig, lock, RED/GREEN loop, and stage names are internal scaffolding; report the product behavior instead.

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.
