Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: polyfill.io.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

      <script src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=fetch,Promise,Array.from" />

  • 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 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.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned vercel-labs/openreview at 672deb21e7.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides guidance and recommendations for implementing best practices when developing applications using Next.js, a popular React framework. It helps developers optimize their projects for performance, maintainability, and developer experience by leveraging established conventions and patterns. The skill offers advice on areas like routing, data fetching, and deployment strategies within the Next.js ecosystem.

When to use it

  • You're starting a new Next.js project and want to ensure you're using best practices from the outset.
  • An existing Next.js application is experiencing performance issues or has become difficult to maintain.
  • You’re refactoring an older Next.js project to align with current standards and improve its overall quality.
  • You need help understanding specific aspects of Next.js development, such as image optimization or API routes.

Key capabilities

  • Provides guidance on routing strategies in Next.js.
  • Offers recommendations for data fetching techniques within Next.js applications.
  • Suggests best practices for deployment and performance optimization.
  • Covers general conventions and patterns for maintainable Next.js codebases.

Example prompts

  • "What's the recommended way to handle image optimization in a Next.js project?"
  • "How should I structure API routes in my Next.js application?"
  • "Can you give me some tips for improving the performance of my Next.js website?"

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes a basic understanding of React and JavaScript. While it provides best practice recommendations, integrating them may require adjustments to existing codebases.
