Agent Skills

A collection of skills for AI coding agents. Skills are packaged instructions that extend agent capabilities with specialized knowledge about Next.js, Prisma, AI SDK, Auth.js, and more.

Skills follow the Agent Skills open standard and work with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Google Antigravity, and other compatible agents.

Why Latest Versions?

These skills focus on the newest major versions of popular frameworks because:

• Breaking Changes: Next.js 16, Prisma ORM v7, AI SDK 6, and Auth.js v5 all introduce significant breaking changes that AI agents need to understand to generate correct, modern code
• Outdated Training Data: Most AI models were trained on older versions and will generate deprecated patterns without explicit guidance
• Upgrade Assistance: Skills help you migrate existing projects by documenting the exact changes, codemods, and migration paths
• Latest Patterns: Each skill captures current best practices—async request APIs in Next.js 16, ESM-only in Prisma 7, ToolLoopAgent in AI SDK 6—so your code stays idiomatic

When you use these skills, your AI agent produces code that works with today's APIs, not yesterday's.

Installation

Quick Install (npx skills)

Install skills directly using the skills CLI:

npx skills add gocallum/nextjs16-agent-skills

Manual Installation

Claude Code

Copy the skill folder to your Claude skills directory:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/gocallum/nextjs16-agent-skills.git

# Copy a specific skill
cp -r nextjs16-agent-skills/skills/nextjs16-skills ~/.claude/skills/

# Or copy all skills
cp -r nextjs16-agent-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

GitHub Copilot (VS Code)

Copy skills to your project's .github/skills/ or .vscode/skills/ folder:

# In your project root
mkdir -p .github/skills

# Copy skills from cloned repo
cp -r /path/to/nextjs16-agent-skills/skills/nextjs16-skills .github/skills/

# Or copy all skills
cp -r /path/to/nextjs16-agent-skills/skills/* .github/skills/

Alternative: Create a .vscode/skills/ folder instead if you prefer project-level isolation.

Cursor

Copy skills to your project's .cursor/skills/ folder:

mkdir -p .cursor/skills
cp -r /path/to/nextjs16-agent-skills/skills/* .cursor/skills/

claude.ai (Project Knowledge)

1. Download the skill's SKILL.md file
2. Go to your Claude.ai project settings
3. Add the file to Project Knowledge

Or paste the contents of SKILL.md directly into your conversation.
