What it does

Install Next is an agent skill from foxted/rsc-boundary. Installs and wires @rsc-boundary/next into a Next.js App Router app (dependencies, root layout provider, optional explicit markers). Use when the user wants to add RSC Boundary, integrate @rsc-boundary/next, or set up server/client boundary devtools in Next.js. The unscoped rsc-boundary package on npm is deprecated — see migration note.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Next.js, npm and React. The repository describes itself as: Tooling to visualize React Server Components vs Client Components boundaries in Next.js App Router. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad7aa8e. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- pnpm
- npm
- yarn
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, npm and yarn, 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

Install Next loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 400 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name: install-next
description: Installs and wires @rsc-boundary/next into a Next.js App Router app (dependencies, root layout provider, optional explicit markers). Use when the user wants to add RSC Boundary, integrate @rsc-boundary/next, or set up server/client boundary devtools in Next.js. The unscoped rsc-boundary package on npm is deprecated — see migration note.

Install RSC Boundary in a Next.js app

Package: @rsc-boundary/next on npm. The unscoped rsc-boundary package on npm is deprecated — for new projects always install @rsc-boundary/next (it pulls in @rsc-boundary/core automatically).

Prerequisites

Next.js 16+ with the App Router
React 19+ and react-dom 19+ (peer dependencies)

If versions are older, say so and recommend upgrading before installing.

1. Install the dependency

Use the project's package manager:

bash

pnpm add @rsc-boundary/next

bash

npm install @rsc-boundary/next

bash

yarn add @rsc-boundary/next

Migrating from `rsc-boundary`

If the user still has the deprecated unscoped rsc-boundary package installed, the migration is a one-liner:

bash

pnpm remove rsc-boundary && pnpm add @rsc-boundary/next

Then replace the import everywhere (one global find-and-replace):

diff

-import { ... } from "rsc-boundary";
+import { ... } from "@rsc-boundary/next";

The API surface is identical — no other code changes are needed.

Monorepo / local development

If the user is working inside this repository and consuming the package from the workspace, use the workspace protocol:

json

"@rsc-boundary/next": "workspace:*"

Ensure the packages are built (pnpm --filter @rsc-boundary/next build, which also builds core) before the app typechecks against dist/.

2. Wrap the App Router root layout

Edit app/layout.tsx (or the file that exports the root RootLayout for app/).

Import the provider:

tsx

import { RscBoundaryProvider } from "@rsc-boundary/next";

Wrap {children} (inside <body>) with <RscBoundaryProvider>{children}</RscBoundaryProvider>.

Preserve existing structure: fonts, metadata, other layout UI, and className on <body> / <html> stay as they are—only add the provider around the main content tree as appropriate.

Minimal pattern:

tsx

import { RscBoundaryProvider } from "@rsc-boundary/next";

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

If the app already wraps children in other providers, nest RscBoundaryProvider in a sensible place (often outermost inside <body> so the whole app is covered).

Show full SKILL.md (173 more words)Show less

3. Behavior to set expectations

Development: A small control (pill) appears; toggling it highlights client vs server regions. No changes are required in individual components for the default experience.
Production: The provider is a no-op (children only). Devtools never mount in production builds; use static UI or screenshots if you need to illustrate boundaries on a deployed site.

4. Optional API (only if the user asks)

From @rsc-boundary/next the app can also use:

RscServerBoundaryMarker / SERVER_BOUNDARY_DATA_ATTR — explicit server region labels
RscDevtoolsNext — advanced mounting without the provider wrapper
createRscBoundaryProvider — factory for custom wiring (re-exported from @rsc-boundary/core)

Prefer RscBoundaryProvider unless the user's setup requires splitting these.

5. Verify

Run pnpm dev (or the app's dev script).
Open the app in the browser; confirm the RSC Boundary control appears and toggling highlights boundaries.
Run the project's typecheck/lint if available.

Troubleshooting (brief)

Peer dependency warnings: Align react and react-dom to ^19 with the app's Next.js version.
Types / module not found: Ensure install completed and, for workspace usage, that packages are built.
Nothing in production: Expected; devtools are development-only.
