What it does

Nextjs App is an agent skill from ccplugins/awesome-claude-code-plugins. Bootstrap a new Next.js (App Router, TypeScript) web app with current packages and no deprecated APIs. Use when the user wants to start, scaffold, or set up a new Next.js project, a React web app, a SaaS or dashboard or landing page on Next.js, or asks to "create a new nextjs app". Handles private, open-source, and private-plus-open-source variants, Prisma and Postgres, next-auth, Tailwind, and shadcn or Mantine.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/quality-gates.md`, `references/stack.md` and `references/structure.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering CSS and styling, Design systems and ORMs and data access. It works with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: Awesome Claude Code plugins — a curated list of slash commands, subagents, MCP servers, and hooks for Claude Code. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to start
  • Set up a new Next.js project
  • A React web app
  • Landing page on Next.js

Example prompts

  • “create a new nextjs app”
  • “/nextjs-app”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • Docker

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Get the brief, then ask the variant questions (hard stop)
  2. Verify environment and current versions
  3. Scaffold with the official CLI
  4. Apply house structure and conventions
  5. Git, CI, docs, security
  6. Verify before declaring done

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5bd4f16. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm
    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Nextjs App loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 515 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~107
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:82
    - Gitignore `.env*`, add `.env.example`. Never commit secrets.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Bootstrap a new Next.js (App Router, TypeScript) web app with current packages and no deprecated APIs. Use when the user wants to start, scaffold, or set up a new Next.js project, a React web app, a SaaS or dashboard or landing page on Next.js, or asks to "create a new nextjs app". Handles private, open-source, and private-plus-open-source variants, Prisma and Postgres, next-auth, Tailwind, and shadcn or Mantine.

nextjs-app

Bootstrap a new Next.js web app the way this owner builds them: App Router, TypeScript strict, current stable packages, no deprecated APIs, a clean feature structure, and the house git and CI workflow.

First read these shared rules (they override anything you remember): ../shared/house-rules.md, ../shared/no-ai-attribution.md, ../shared/git-and-ci.md, ../shared/docs-and-context.md, ../shared/hardening.md, and (for public repos) ../shared/open-source-docs.md.

Step 0. Get the brief, then ask the variant questions (hard stop)

This is a hard stop. Do not run any scaffolding command until the user has answered.

First, get the project brief: one paragraph on what the app does, its main features, target users, and any hard constraints. If the user has not given one, ask for it. The brief drives naming, the route groups, and the data model.

Then present the variant choices below, wait for the answers, and build. If a choice has multiple options, ask; do not assume. Ask in one batch.

  1. Repo visibility: private, open-source (public), or private-plus-open-source (a private product with a separate public core or SDK). See references/variants.md.
  2. Data layer: Prisma + Postgres (default), a different DB, or none yet.
  3. Auth: next-auth v5 (default), Clerk, or none yet.
  4. UI kit: shadcn/ui + Tailwind (default), Mantine, or plain Tailwind.
  5. Deploy target: Vercel (default) or self-host (Docker).
  6. Package manager: pnpm (default) or npm.

If the user already answered some of these in their prompt, do not re-ask.

Step 1. Verify environment and current versions

  • Check Node (node -v, want the current LTS or newer) and the package manager.
  • Run scripts/check-latest.sh to get live stable versions from npm. Pin those, not versions from memory. See ../shared/house-rules.md rule 2.
  • Pull current Next.js docs before writing framework code (../shared/docs-and-context.md). Recent Next.js ships docs in node_modules/next/dist/docs/; read the relevant guide and obey deprecation notices.

Step 2. Scaffold with the official CLI

Use the official generator so you inherit its current defaults:

pnpm create next-app@latest <name> --typescript --app --eslint --tailwind --src-dir --import-alias "@/*"

Adjust flags to the answers. Let the CLI pick the current Next major; do not force a version you remember. After it runs, read references/stack.md for the exact dependency set to add and references/structure.md for the folder layout.

Step 3. Apply house structure and conventions

  • Folder layout, data layer, auth, and server-action patterns: references/structure.md.
  • Dependency set and why each is chosen: references/stack.md.
  • Variant-specific setup (LICENSE, README tone, monorepo split, secret handling): references/variants.md.
  • Production hardening so the shipped app does not leak secrets or internals: ../shared/hardening.md.

Step 4. Git, CI, docs, security

  • Initialize git, set the branch model, and wire CI and auto-merge per ../shared/git-and-ci.md.
  • Write the CI workflow and quality gates from references/quality-gates.md.
  • Add docs/ and README per ../shared/docs-and-context.md.
  • For a public repo, ship the full open-source docs set (LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING, CODE_OF_CONDUCT, SECURITY, issue and PR templates, CHANGELOG via release-please) per ../shared/open-source-docs.md, and run the open-source hard gate in ../shared/no-ai-attribution.md before the first push.
  • Gitignore .env*, add .env.example. Never commit secrets.

Step 5. Verify before declaring done

Run the quality gates in references/quality-gates.md (typecheck, lint, production build, and a dev-server smoke check). Report real results. If a build fails, fix it or say so with the output. Do not claim done on an unbuilt app.
