Inject Nextjs Docs

Inject Nextjs Docs

Cross-Platform AI Agent Skill This skill works with any AI agent platform that supports the skills.sh standard.

Next.js Agents-MD Codemod

Run the @next/codemod agents-md codemod to inject compressed Next.js framework documentation into the current project. This gives AI coding agents passive access to framework knowledge without requiring tool calls or skills.

Context: Vercel's agent evals showed this approach achieves 100% pass rate vs 53% baseline by compressing ~40KB of docs into ~8KB using a pipe-delimited index.

Anti-Hallucination Guidelines

CRITICAL:

1. Verify this is a Next.js project before running anything - check for next in package.json dependencies
2. Do NOT assume npx is available - verify Node.js tooling exists
3. Do NOT claim success until verifying the target file exists and contains actual content after the codemod runs
4. Read actual output from the codemod - report what it says, not what is expected

Implementation Workflow

Phase 0: Project Validation (REQUIRED)

Before running anything, verify prerequisites:

1. Check this is a Next.js project:

• Read package.json and confirm next is in dependencies or devDependencies
• If next is not found, STOP and inform the user: "This does not appear to be a Next.js project. The agents-md codemod requires Next.js."

2. Detect Next.js version:

• Check package.json for the installed Next.js version
• Report the detected version to the user

3. Detect target file:

• Check if CLAUDE.md exists in the project root - use CLAUDE.md
• Else check if AGENTS.md exists - use AGENTS.md
• If neither exists, default to CLAUDE.md (Claude Code's native format)
• Inform the user which file will be updated

Phase 1: Run the Codemod

Execute the codemod with the --output flag to target the correct file and skip interactive prompts:

npx @next/codemod@canary agents-md --output <TARGET_FILE>
Where `<TARGET_FILE>` is the file detected in Phase 0 (e.g., `CLAUDE.md` or `AGENTS.md`).

**Important**:
- Run this in the project root directory
- The `--output` flag makes the command non-interactive - no prompts will appear
- The codemod auto-detects the Next.js version and downloads matching documentation
- It injects a compressed pipe-delimited index into the target file
- It also downloads full docs to `.next-docs/` and adds it to `.gitignore`
- Capture and report the full output to the user

### Phase 2: Verify Results

After the codemod completes:

1. **Confirm the target file was updated** - Read the file to verify it contains Next.js documentation content
2. **Check content** - Look for the injected Next.js framework index (pipe-delimited entries)
3. **Report to user**:
 - Whether the file was created or updated
 - Approximate size of the injected documentation
 - Summary of what was added

### Phase 3: Report

Provide a summary to the user:
- Next.js version detected
- Which file was updated (CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md)
- Confirmation that framework docs were injected
- Suggest reviewing the file and committing the change

## Usage

```bash
inject-nextjs-docs
## Examples

### Example: Project with existing CLAUDE.md

inject-nextjs-docs

Detected Next.js 15.2.3 in package.json Found existing CLAUDE.md - will inject documentation there Running: npx @next/codemod@canary agents-md --output CLAUDE.md Updated CLAUDE.md (2.1 KB -> 10.3 KB) Added .next-docs to .gitignore

Review the changes and commit when ready: git add CLAUDE.md .gitignore && git commit -m "docs: add Next.js agents-md framework reference"

Example: Project with AGENTS.md

> inject-nextjs-docs

Detected Next.js 14.1.0 in package.json
Found existing AGENTS.md - will inject documentation there
Running: npx @next/codemod@canary agents-md --output AGENTS.md
Updated AGENTS.md (1.5 KB -> 9.8 KB)
Added .next-docs to .gitignore
## Important Notes

- **Next.js only**: This codemod is specifically for Next.js projects
- **Version-aware**: The codemod downloads documentation matching the installed Next.js version
- **Non-destructive**: If the target file already exists, the codemod injects/updates the index section without overwriting existing content
- **Requires network**: The codemod downloads documentation from Vercel's servers
- **Target file priority**: CLAUDE.md (if exists) -> AGENTS.md (if exists) -> CLAUDE.md (default)
- **Full docs downloaded**: The codemod also saves full documentation to `.next-docs/` and auto-adds it to `.gitignore`
