What it does

Nextjs Styling is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Implement zero-runtime CSS with Tailwind, CSS Modules, and the cn() utility for RSC-compatible styling in Next.js. Use when choosing a styling library, creating dynamic class utilities, or optimizing fonts with next/font.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/ant-design.md` and `references/implementation.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering CSS and styling and Design systems. It works with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Ant Design and shadcn/ui. 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 a styling library
  • Creating dynamic class utilities
  • Optimizing fonts with next/font

Example prompts

  • “/nextjs-styling”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Choose library — Tailwind/shadcn (preferred), CSS Modules (scoped), or Ant Design (with client wrappers).
  2. Create cn utility — Combine clsx + tailwind-merge for dynamic classes.
  3. Configure fonts — Use next/font for zero-CLS self-hosted fonts.
  4. Set image dimensions — Always specify width/height or fill on .

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 Styling loads about 703 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 241 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~703
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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.

Styling & UI Performance

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

Prioritize Zero-Runtime CSS for Server Components.

Workflow: Set Up Styling

  1. Choose library — Tailwind/shadcn (preferred), CSS Modules (scoped), or Ant Design (with client wrappers).
  2. Create cn utility — Combine clsx + tailwind-merge for dynamic classes.
  3. Configure fonts — Use next/font for zero-CLS self-hosted fonts.
  4. Set image dimensions — Always specify width/height or fill on <Image>.

cn Utility Example

See implementation examples

Library Selection

LibraryVerdictReason
Tailwind / shadcnPreferred (P1)Zero-runtime, RSC compatible. Best for App Router.
CSS Modules / SCSSRecommendedScoped, zero-runtime. Good for legacy projects.
Ant DesignSupportedUse with Client Component wrappers for RSCs.
MUI / Chakra (Runtime)AvoidForces use client widely. Degrades performance.

Library Patterns

For specific library setups, see:

Patterns

  1. Dynamic Classes: Use clsx + tailwind-merge (cn utility).
  1. Font Optimization: Use next/font to prevent Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).
  1. CLS Prevention: Always specify width/height on images.

Anti-Patterns

  • No runtime CSS-in-JS with RSC: MUI/Chakra force 'use client'; prefer Tailwind or CSS Modules.
  • No <img> without dimensions: Always set width/height or use fill to prevent CLS.
  • No hardcoded conditional classes: Use clsx+tailwind-merge (cn) for dynamic styles.
  • No Google Fonts <link> tag: Use next/font for zero-CLS self-hosted fonts.

Canonical response anchors

When this skill applies, preserve the following domain terminology or equivalent concrete examples in the answer when relevant:

  • Fix with next/image — always specify width and height or use fill prop,always
