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
paramsandsearchParams - Async
cookies()andheaders() - 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.tsxredirect,permanentRedirect,notFoundforbidden,unauthorized(auth errors)unstable_rethrowfor 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.tsbasics- 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
generateMetadatafunction- OG image generation with
next/og - File-based metadata conventions
Image Optimization
See image.md for:
- Always use
next/imageover<img> - Remote images configuration
- Responsive
sizesattribute - Blur placeholders
- Priority loading for LCP
Font Optimization
See font.md for:
next/fontsetup- Google Fonts, local fonts
- Tailwind CSS integration
- Preloading subsets
Bundling
See bundling.md for:
- Server-incompatible packages
- CSS imports (not link tags)
- Polyfills (already included)
- ESM/CommonJS issues
- Bundle analysis
Scripts
See scripts.md for:
next/scriptvs native script tags- Inline scripts need
id - Loading strategies
- Google Analytics with
@next/third-parties
Hydration Errors
See hydration-error.md for:
- Common causes (browser APIs, dates, invalid HTML)
- Debugging with error overlay
- Fixes for each cause
Suspense Boundaries
See suspense-boundaries.md for:
- CSR bailout with
useSearchParamsandusePathname - Which hooks require Suspense boundaries
Parallel & Intercepting Routes
See parallel-routes.md for:
- Modal patterns with
@slotand(.)interceptors default.tsxfor fallbacks- Closing modals correctly with
router.back()
Self-Hosting
See self-hosting.md for:
output: 'standalone'for Docker- Cache handlers for multi-instance ISR
- What works vs needs extra setup
Debug Tricks
See debug-tricks.md for:
- MCP endpoint for AI-assisted debugging
- Rebuild specific routes with
--debug-build-paths
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
mapping-mitre-attack-techniques
Maps observed adversary behaviors, security alerts, and detection rules to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and sub-techniques to quantify detection coverage and guide control prioritization. Use when building an ATT&CK-based coverage heatmap, tagging SIEM alerts with technique IDs, aligning security controls to adversary playbooks, or reporting threat exposure to executives. Activates for requests involving ATT&CK Navigator, Sigma rules, MITRE D3FEND, or coverage gap analysis.
hunting-for-spearphishing-indicators
Hunt for spearphishing campaign indicators across email logs, endpoint telemetry, and network data to detect targeted email attacks.

URLScan.io is a free service for scanning and analyzing suspicious URLs. It captures screenshots, DOM content, HTTP transactions, JavaScript behavior, and network connections of web pages in an isolat
implementing-zero-standing-privilege-with-cyberark
Deploy CyberArk Secure Cloud Access to eliminate standing privileges in hybrid and multi-cloud environments using just-in-time access with time, entitlement, and approval controls.
implementing-pam-for-database-access
Deploy privileged access management for database systems including Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. Covers session proxy configuration, credential vaulting, query auditing, dynamic credentia
detecting-t1003-credential-dumping-with-edr
Detect OS credential dumping techniques targeting LSASS memory, SAM database, NTDS.dit, and cached credentials using EDR telemetry, Sysmon process access monitoring, and Windows security event correlation.
