How does this skill improve Next.js performance?

It enforces performance-first strategies such as using Server Components by default, image optimization with next/image, and implementing effective caching and revalidation layers.

Can it help organize my project structure?

Yes, it defines standard folder structures for route groups, parallel routes, and shared component libraries to keep large applications organized.

Does it help with the Server vs. Client component decision?

Yes, it includes a logic-based decision tree that helps you determine when to use 'use client' based on the need for state, effects, or event handlers.

Does it include SEO best practices for Next.js?

It covers both static and dynamic metadata generation, essential tags for social sharing, and the use of canonical URLs.

Does the skill handle API and data fetching patterns?

Absolutely. It provides guidance on static vs. dynamic fetching, revalidation (ISR), and best practices for Route Handlers and Server Actions.
