What this skill does
Upgrade Next.js Upgrade the current project to the latest Next.js version following official migration guides. Instructions 1. Detect current version: Read package.json to identify the current Next.js version and related dependencies (React, React DOM, etc.) 2. Fetch the latest upgrade guide: Use WebFetch to get the official upgrade documentation: Codemods: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/upgrading/codemods Version-specific guides (adjust version as needed): https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/upgrading/version-15 https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/upgrading/version-14 3. Determine upgrade path: Based on current version, identify which migration steps apply. For major version jumps, upgrade incrementally (e.g., 13 → 14 → 15). 4. Run codemods first: Next.js provides codemods to automate breaking changes: Common transforms: next-async-request-api - Updates async Request APIs (v15) next-request-geo-ip - Migrates geo/ip properties (v15) next-dynamic-access-named-export - Transforms dynamic imports (v15) 5. Update dependencies: Upgrade Next.js and peer dependencies together: 6. Review breaking changes: Check the upgrade guide for manual changes needed: API changes (e.g., async params in v15) Configuration changes in next.config.js Deprecated features being removed 7. Update TypeScript types (if applicable): 8. Test the upgrade: Run npm run build to check for build errors Run npm run dev and test key functionality
