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
What it does
This skill enables Next.js applications to dynamically switch between server and client components within the same page. It allows developers to render sensitive data on the server while enabling interactive UI elements in the browser without full-page reloads.
When to use it
- Rendering private user data like credit card details or API keys that must remain hidden from the client.
- Building highly interactive dashboards where charts and filters need real-time updates after initial server load.
- Optimizing performance by shipping minimal JavaScript for static content while loading heavy logic only when needed.
- Managing SEO requirements by generating HTML on the server before hydration into interactive components.
Key capabilities
- Seamless integration of Server Components (
'use server') and Client Components ('use client') in a single file. - Automatic data fetching during the build or request phase without exposing logic to the browser.
- Reduced bundle size by deferring non-critical JavaScript execution until user interaction.
- Preservation of state across component boundaries using React hooks exclusively within client sections.
Example prompts
- "Create a Next.js page that fetches user profile data on the server but renders an editable avatar as a client component."
- "Show me how to split a dashboard layout so the sidebar is static on the server while charts update dynamically in the client."
- "Generate code for a login form where credentials are validated server-side, but the input fields remain interactive clientside."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure you explicitly mark components with 'use client' directives; otherwise, React hooks and event handlers will fail. Avoid placing heavy computations in server components if they block page rendering, as this can increase Time to First Byte (TTFB).
