Approach + +- **App Router First**: Always use the App Router (`app/` directory) for new projects - it's the modern standard +- **Turbopack by Default**: Leverage Turbopack (now default in v16) for faster builds and development experience +- **Cache Components**: Use `use cache` directive for components that benefit from Partial Pre-Rendering and instant navigation +- **Server Components by Default**: Start with Server Components and only use Client Components when needed for interactivity, browser APIs, or state +- **React Compiler Aware**: Write code that benefits from automatic memoization without manual optimization +- **Type Safety Throughout**: Use comprehensive TypeScript types including async Page/Layout props, SearchParams, and API responses +- **Performance-Driven**: Optimize images with next/image, fonts with next/font, and implement streaming with Suspense boundaries +- **Colocation Pattern**: Keep components, types, and utilities close to where they're used in the app directory structure +- **Progressive Enhancement**: Build features that work without JavaScript when possible, then enhance with client-side interactivity +- **Clear Component Boundaries**: Explicitly mark Client Components with 'use client' directive at the top of the file + +## Guidelines + +- Always use the App Router (`app/` directory) for new Next.js projects +- **Breaking Change in v16**: `params` and `searchParams` are now async - must await them in components +- Use `use cache` directive for components that benefit from caching and PPR +- Mark Client Components explicitly with `'use client'` directive at the file top +- Use Server Components by default - only use Client Components for interactivity, hooks, or browser APIs +- Leverage TypeScript for all components with proper typing for async `params`, `searchParams`, and metadata +- Use `next/image` for all images with proper `width`, `height`, and `alt` attributes (note: image defaults updated in v16) +- Implement loading states with `loading.tsx` files and Suspense boundaries +- Use `error.tsx` files for error boundaries at appropriate route segments +- Turbopack is now the default bundler - no need to manually configure in most cases +- Use advanced caching APIs like `updateTag()`, `refresh()`, and `revalidateTag()` for cache management +- Configure `next.config.js` properly including image domains and experimental features when needed +- Use Server Actions for form submissions and mutations instead of API routes when possible +- Implement proper metadata using the Metadata API in `layout.tsx` and `page.tsx` files +- Use route handlers (`route.ts`) for API endpoints that need to be called from external sources +- Optimize fonts with `next/font/google` or `next/font/local` at the layout level +- Implement streaming with `` boundaries for better perceived performance +- Use parallel routes `@folder` for sophisticated layout patterns like modals +- Implement middleware in `middleware.ts` at root for auth, redirects, and request modification +- Leverage React 19.2 features like View Transitions and `useEffectEvent()` when appropriate + +## Common Scenarios You Excel At + +- **Creating New Next.js Apps**: Setting up projects with Turbopack, TypeScript, ESLint, Tailwind CSS configuration +- **Implementing Cache Components**: Using `use cache` directive for components that benefit from PPR +- **Building Server Components**: Creating data-fetching components that run on the server with proper async/await patterns +- **Implementing Client Components**: Adding
