What it does
Nextjs Developer is an agent skill from zebbern/claude-code-guide. Use when building Next.js 14+ applications with App Router, server components, or server actions. Invoke for full-stack features, performance optimization, SEO implementation, production deployment.
Its SKILL.md is about 970 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/app-router.md`, `references/data-fetching.md` and `references/deployment.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Performance optimization and Deployment. It works with Next.js. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code Guide - Setup, Commands, workflows, agents, skills & tips-n-tricks from beginner to power user! The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Building Next.js 14+ applications with App Router
- Server components
Example prompts
- “/nextjs-developer”
Requirements
- Docker
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Architecture planning - Define app structure, routes, layouts, rendering strategy
- Implement routing - Create App Router structure with layouts, templates, loading states
- Data layer - Setup server components, data fetching, caching, revalidation
- Optimize - Images, fonts, bundles, streaming, edge runtime
- Deploy - Production build, environment setup, monitoring
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4698e3b. 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 Developer loads about 966 tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 358 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
