What it does

Nextjs Caching is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Configure Next.js cache layers, invalidation, and cache-component APIs. Use when choosing fetch caching, use cache, tags, or stale-data debugging in Next.js.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/CACHE_COMPONENTS.md` and `references/implementation.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Caching. It works with Next.js. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Choosing fetch caching
  • Stale-data debugging in Next.js

Example prompts

  • “/nextjs-caching”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Classify the read: static, periodically fresh, request-specific, or user-specific.
  2. Pick the narrowest cache: request memoization before persistent cache, tag invalidation before path-wide invalidation.
  3. Tag what mutates together: align tags with data ownership, not page names by habit.
  4. Keep personal data private: avoid broad route caching for request-specific state.
  5. Test stale paths: mutation -> invalidation -> refreshed UI.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Caching loads about 702 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 276 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~702
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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.

Configure Next.js cache layers, invalidation, and cache-component APIs. Use when choosing `fetch` caching, `use cache`, tags, or stale-data debugging in Next.js.

Caching Architecture

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

Decision Map

  • HTTP reads: start with fetch cache controls (force-cache, no-store, next.revalidate, tags). For content updated a few times per day, ISR with revalidate is often the right default.
  • Custom function/component caching: prefer use cache with cacheLife() and cacheTag() when the project uses cache components.
  • Per-render dedupe: use React cache() for repeated server reads in one render pass.
  • Mutation invalidation: revalidateTag() for data ownership, revalidatePath() for route-level refresh, router.refresh() for client view refresh after mutation.

Recipe

  1. Classify the read: static, periodically fresh, request-specific, or user-specific.
  2. Pick the narrowest cache: request memoization before persistent cache, tag invalidation before path-wide invalidation.
  3. Tag what mutates together: align tags with data ownership, not page names by habit.
  4. Keep personal data private: avoid broad route caching for request-specific state.
  5. Test stale paths: mutation -> invalidation -> refreshed UI.

Verify

  • Cache choice matches data ownership and freshness needs.
  • Mutations revalidate the tags or paths they invalidate.
  • User-specific data does not leak into shared cache.
  • Slow reads stream behind Suspense instead of blocking the whole route.
  • Existing code using unstable_cache has a migration note if cache components are now enabled.

Anti-Patterns

  • No shared cache for personal data: request-specific state needs a private strategy or no-store path.
  • No path-wide invalidation by habit: prefer tags when data ownership is narrower.
  • No mutation without revalidation: stale writes are correctness bugs.
  • No cache folklore: verify with official cache docs for the project's enabled features.
