Next.js 16+ uses Turbopack by default for local development: an incremental bundler written in Rust that significantly speeds up dev startup and hot updates.
--webpack (or --no-turbopack depending on your Next.js version; check the docs for your release).next build) may use Turbopack or webpack depending on Next.js version; check the official Next.js docs for your version.Use when: developing or debugging Next.js 16+ apps, diagnosing slow dev startup or HMR, or optimizing production bundles.
next dev runs with Turbopack unless disabled..next; no extra config needed for basic use.next dev
next build
next start
Run next dev for local development with Turbopack. Use the Bundle Analyzer (see Next.js docs) to optimize code-splitting and trim large dependencies. Prefer App Router and server components where possible.
Next.js 16 introduced proxy.ts as the middleware filename, replacing the older middleware.ts convention:
proxy.ts at the project rootmiddleware.ts at the project rootThe filename change is tied to the Next.js version, not to which bundler (Turbopack or webpack) is in use. Always check the official docs for the version you are reviewing.
Do not flag proxy.ts as a misnamed or missing middleware file in Next.js 16 projects. The file is correct and intentional. Suggesting a rename to middleware.ts will break middleware execution.

React 18/19 patterns including hooks discipline, server/client component boundaries, Suspense + error boundaries, form actions, data fetching, state management decision trees, and accessibility-first composition. Use when writing or reviewing React components.
React and Next.js performance optimization patterns adapted from Vercel Engineering's React Best Practices (https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills). Organizes 70+ rules across 8 priority categories — waterfalls, bundle size, server-side, client fetching, re-render, rendering, JS micro-perf, advanced. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring React/Next.js code for performance.
React component testing with React Testing Library, Vitest/Jest, MSW for network mocking, accessibility assertions with axe, and the decision boundary between component tests and Playwright/Cypress end-to-end runs. Use when writing or fixing tests for React components, hooks, or pages.
Agent-driven scheduling and publishing of social media posts across 13 platforms via SocialClaw. Use when the user wants to publish to X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook Pages, TikTok, Discord, Telegram, YouTube, Reddit, WordPress, or Pinterest — or when managing campaigns, uploading media, or monitoring post delivery status.
End-to-end marketing campaign planning and execution. Covers audience research, positioning, campaign angle definition, landing page copy, email sequences, social posts, ad copy, short-form video scripts, and content calendars. Use as the orchestration layer for multi-channel product launches.
Accessibility patterns for React and Next.js — semantic HTML, ARIA attributes, form labeling, keyboard navigation, focus management, and screen reader support. Use when building any interactive UI component or form.
