Nuqs Scaffolder

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Even when the user only says add filters to /search
• I need a typed query string for this page — both are exactly this skills job

Example prompts

• “add filters to /search”
• “I need a typed query string for this page”
• “Use the nuqs-scaffolder skill to scaffold URL-state filters for a Next.js page — typed searchParams.ts parser map and a <Filters / client component…”
• “/nuqs-scaffolder”

Requirements

• Node.js

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Read or create a spec. Start from assets/templates/spec.template.json and fill in name, module, and params. See "Spec Format" below.
2. 2Render each template by replacing placeholders with values derived from the spec.
3. 3Write each rendered file to the path computed from config.json (overridable per-call).
4. 4Show the user the diff before committing — this skill never modifies existing files; if a target path exists, ask before overwriting.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cf93c57. 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 (its code samples are jsonc).

  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

Nuqs Scaffolder loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 605 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~134

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.8k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~3.5k

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

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.

description

Scaffolds URL-state filters for a Next.js page — typed `searchParams.ts` parser map and a `<Filters />` client component backed by `useQueryStates`. From a single JSON spec, generates four files in lockstep — client parser map, server loader/cache/serializer, client component, and Vitest test — all sharing the same parser definitions per the nuqs Standard Schema pattern. Trigger even when the user only says "add filters to /search" or "I need a typed query string for this page" — both are exactly this skill's job.
