Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
The cra-to-next-migration skill automates the transition of existing Create React App (CRA) projects to the Next.js framework. It analyzes the current codebase structure and generates a fully functional Next.js application while preserving core business logic and UI components. This tool streamlines modernization efforts by handling complex dependency mapping and routing configurations automatically.
-
Modernize legacy monolithic React applications built with CRA into server-side rendered Next.js apps.
-
Quickly onboard teams to the Next.js ecosystem without manual refactoring of every component.
-
Reduce migration timelines by offloading boilerplate setup, environment configuration, and build tooling adjustments.
-
Ensure compatibility between old CRA dependencies and modern Next.js standards during the transition.
-
Automatic Code Analysis: Scans existing
srcfolders to identify components, hooks, and utility functions. -
Framework Conversion: Transforms standard React code into Next.js compatible syntax (e.g., Pages Router or App Router).
-
Dependency Management: Updates package.json files to replace CRA-specific scripts with Next.js equivalents.
-
Configuration Generation: Creates necessary
next.config.jsand routing structures based on the detected file hierarchy.

Tips & gotchas
- Prerequisites: Ensure your source project is a valid, running Create React App instance; the skill cannot analyze broken or incomplete repositories.
- Limitations: While it handles standard patterns well, highly customized build configurations or non-standard dependency chains may require manual review after migration.
