# Next.js App Router Patterns

Comprehensive patterns for Next.js 14+ App Router architecture, Server Components, and modern full-stack React development.

## Use this skill when

- Building new Next.js applications with App Router
- Migrating from Pages Router to App Router
- Implementing Server Components and streaming
- Setting up parallel and intercepting routes
- Optimizing data fetching and caching
- Building full-stack features with Server Actions

## Do not use this skill when

- The task is unrelated to next.js app router patterns
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

## Instructions

- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
- If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.

## Resources

- `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns and examples.


## API Reference

Detailed API documentation: [references/REFERENCE.md](references/REFERENCE.md).

**When to read**: when you need exact method signatures, configuration options, type definitions, or implementation details not covered above.

**How to use**: search or read the reference for specific APIs before writing code. Don't read the entire file — look up only what you need.
