About This Skill
What it does
This skill, "Next Upgrade," assists AI agents in upgrading existing Next.js projects to the latest version. It automates parts of the upgrade process by identifying the current Next.js version, fetching official migration guides from Vercel's documentation, and running codemods to handle common breaking changes. The skill then guides the agent through updating dependencies, reviewing manual changes, and testing the upgraded application.
When to use it
- You need to upgrade a Next.js project but find the process overwhelming due to potential breaking changes.
- You want to automate some of the repetitive tasks involved in upgrading Next.js versions.
- You're migrating between major Next.js versions (e.g., 13 to 14, or 15 to 16) and need guidance on incremental upgrades.
Key capabilities
- Version Detection: Identifies the current Next.js version from
package.json. - Guide Retrieval: Fetches official upgrade documentation from Vercel's website for specific versions (v14, v15, v16).
- Codemod Execution: Runs Next.js codemods to automatically address common breaking changes like updating async Request APIs or transforming dynamic imports.
- Dependency Management: Provides instructions for upgrading Next.js and related peer dependencies (React, React DOM, TypeScript types).
- Breaking Change Review: Highlights key areas in the upgrade guide that require manual review and adjustments.
Example prompts
- "Upgrade my Next.js project to the latest version."
- "What are the steps for upgrading from Next.js 14 to 15?"
- "Run the
next-async-request-apicodemod on my project."
Tips & gotchas
- Incremental Upgrades: For major version jumps, it's recommended to upgrade incrementally (e.g., 13 -> 14 -> 15) as outlined in the official guides.
- Manual Review is Required: While this skill automates some steps, carefully review the upgrade guide for manual changes needed in
next.config.jsand other areas. - Codemod Paths: Ensure correct paths are provided when running codemods; the skill provides example commands to get started.
