Next.js 16 Skills v1.1 Released

In less than a month we’ve gone from 5 skills to 12 production-grade skills, all installable with one line, all climbing the skills.sh trending list, and all distributed through the new npx skills CLI that works with every major coding agent (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Google Antigravity, Windsurf, etc.).

This post zooms in on the "Big Three" that save the most debugging hours:

• Prisma ORM v7 (ESM-only, edge-ready)
• AI SDK v6 (agent loops, free-tier first)
• Next.js 16 (post-CVE, async APIs)

If you install one bundle today, install these three first. Your AI will stop suggesting require() in Prisma, OpenAIStream in AI SDK, and req.body in Next.js. That alone prevents 90% of "why won't this build?" questions.

1. Prisma ORM v7 Skills — "I upgraded and nothing compiled"

One-liner install (any agent):

npx skills add gocallum/nextjs16-agent-skills

Agent loads: prisma-orm-v7-skills

What breaks immediately if you don't have this skill

• const { PrismaClient } = require('@prisma/client') → build error (ESM-only)
• DATABASE_URL only → can't migrate (needs DIRECT_URL)
• No prisma.config.ts → edge runtime fails
• Old package.json keys → config ignored

What the skill gives you

• Correct ESM imports: import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client'
• Dual-env setup: DATABASE_URL (pooled) + DIRECT_URL (direct) with explanations
• prisma.config.ts template with driver adapters for Vercel Edge
• Edge-compatible pooling + read-replica snippets
• Env-guard refusal: won't generate if the two URLs are identical

Use it first if you're on Prisma ≤ 6 and planning any Next.js 16 upgrade—Prisma v7 is a hard dependency for modern edge deployments.

2. AI SDK v6 Skills — "Stop writing AI SDK v4 in 2026"

One-liner install (any agent):

npx skills add gocallum/nextjs16-agent-skills

Agent loads: ai-sdk-6-skills

Free-tier & open-weight first (not an afterthought)

The skill teaches cost-aware patterns by default:

1// Skill teaches this pattern
2
3const agent = new ToolLoopAgent({
4
5  model: groq('llama-3.3-70b-versatile'), // $0.40/million tokens
6
7  instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
8
9  tools: { weather: weatherTool },
10
11});
12
13// Direct generation
14
15import { groq } from '@ai-sdk/groq';
16
17const { text } = await generateText({
18
19  model: groq('llama-3.3-70b-versatile'),
20
21  prompt: 'Write a TypeScript function to compute Fibonacci.',
22
23});

Agent writes Groq-first, pay-later code—no more accidentally burning $30 on a simple Q&A.

What the skill gives you (v4/v5 refugees)

• ToolLoopAgent – agent loops without manual while(true)
• Tool approval flows – built-in human checkpoints
• Vercel AI Gateway – single endpoint, unified cost tracking, automatic fallbacks
• Structured outputs – Zod-validated JSON, no more JSON.parse crashes
• Vercel Workflows – parallel calls, sequential approvals, token caps

Use it first if you're still copy-pasting OpenAIStream or createChatCompletion—AI SDK 6 is a complete rewrite and the skill prevents every v4/v5 mistake.

3. Next.js 16 Skills — "Post-CVE, post-v15, actually works"

One-liner install (any agent):

npx skills add gocallum/nextjs16-agent-skills  

# Next.js 16 Skills v1.1 released 22 Jan 2026

Agent loads: nextjs16-skills

What the skill gives you (v15 → v16 survivors)

• Async request APIs – request.json() instead of req.body (breaks v15)
• Turbopack bundler – config changes, faster HMR, plugin migration guide
• React 19 patterns – Server Components, client boundaries, form actions
• Security headers – automatic CSP, CORS, nonce injection (post-CVE hardening)
• Edge Runtime – compatible with Prisma v7 driver adapters

Built-in migration helper

The skill ships migrate-v15-to-v16.js:

• rewrites all API routes to async request APIs
• converts middleware to new CSP headers
• updates env vars for Turbopack
• prints a diff so you can review before committing

Use it first if you upgraded to Next.js 16 after the December 2025 React CVEs and your builds suddenly fail—this skill contains the exact fixes we applied across our entire fleet.

How to Install (30 Seconds, Zero Config)

# Any editor, any agent, one command

npx skills add gocallum/nextjs16-agent-skills

The installer detects your editor (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Antigravity) and drops skills into the right folder. No restart, no token bloat, no "please read the docs" nudging.

When to Use Which Skill First

• Green-field project → AI SDK 6 (agents first)
• Prisma ≤ 6 → Prisma v7 (blocks every build)
• Next.js ≤ 15 → Next.js 16 (security + edge)
• Multi-tenant auth → Clerk or Auth.js v5
• Email workflows → Resend Integration
• Product specs → BA PRD (token-efficient PM specs)

Install all of them once, let the agent load what it needs. Context Rot stops here.
