Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Next.js App Router Patterns Comprehensive patterns for Next.js 14+ App Router architecture, Server Components, and modern full-stack React development. ## When to Use This Skill - 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 ## Core Concepts ### 1. Rendering Modes | Mode | Where | When to Use | | --------------------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------------- | | **Server Components** | Server only | Data fetching, heavy computation, secrets | | **Client Components** | Browser | Interactivity, hooks, browser APIs | | **Static** | Build time | Content that rarely changes | | **Dynamic** | Request time | Personalized or real-time data | | **Streaming** | Progressive | Large pages, slow data sources | ### 2.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add wshobson/agents --skill nextjs-app-router-patterns --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From wshobson/agents, a repository with 38,479 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
