Next.js 16.1+

Async params

Type params and searchParams as Promise<>, await in component body.

→ examples/async-params.tsx

Caching Overview

Enable cacheComponents: true in next.config.ts.

Directive	Runtime APIs	Storage	Use Case
"use cache"	No	In-memory	Static shared content
"use cache: private"	Yes	Browser only	User-specific data
"use cache: remote"	No	Remote cache	Multi-instance shared

"use cache"

Cache routes, components, or functions. Data fetching cached as part of static shell.

Serialization Rules

Supported: primitives, plain objects, arrays, Date, Map, Set, React elements (pass-through only)

Unsupported: class instances, functions (except pass-through), Symbols, WeakMap/WeakSet

Pass-Through Pattern

Accept non-serializable values (children, actions) without introspecting them.

Runtime API Constraint

Cannot access cookies(), headers(), searchParams inside cached scope. Read outside and pass as args.

→ examples/use-cache.tsx

"use cache: private"

Allows runtime APIs inside cache. Results cached in browser memory only, never on server.

Constraints:

• Executes on every server render
• Excluded from static shell
• cacheLife stale time must be ≥30s

→ examples/use-cache-private.tsx

"use cache: remote"

Stores output in remote cache. Durable across instances/deployments.

Use when:

• Rate-limited APIs
• Slow/expensive backends
• Serverless (ephemeral memory)

Avoid when:

• Fast operations (<50ms)
• High-cardinality cache keys
• Frequently changing data

→ examples/use-cache-remote.tsx

"use client"

Marks client-side entry point. Add at top of file before imports.

'use client'

import { useState } from 'react'

export default function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
  return <button onClick={() => setCount(c => c + 1)}>{count}</button>
}

Props must be serializable. Functions cannot be passed from server to client.

"use server"

Marks Server Actions. Can be file-level or inline.

// File-level
'use server'
export async function createUser(formData: FormData) {
  await db.user.create({ data: Object.fromEntries(formData) })
  revalidatePath('/users')
}

// Inline
async function submitForm(formData: FormData) {
  'use server'
  await saveData(formData)
}

Invalidation

import { cacheTag, revalidateTag, updateTag } from 'next/cache'

// Tag cached data
async function getData() {
  'use cache'
  cacheTag('products')
  return fetch('/api/products')
}

// Invalidate
revalidateTag('products', 'hours')  // SWR-style with profile
updateTag('products')               // Server Actions: immediate

Profiles: 'hours' (1h), 'days' (1d), 'weeks' (1w), 'max' (1y)

Cache Lifetime

import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

async function getData() {
  'use cache'
  cacheLife('hours')  // Profile shorthand
  // or
  cacheLife({ stale: 300, revalidate: 900, expire: 3600 })
}

Proxy (auth/routing)

Use proxy.ts instead of middleware.ts. Runs on Node.js runtime.

→ examples/proxy.ts

Common Mistakes

❌ Wrong	✅ Correct
'use cache' with cookies() inside	Read cookies outside, pass as arg
Creating JSX inside cache, passing to client	Pass data to client, render there
middleware.ts	proxy.ts
revalidateTag(tag)	revalidateTag(tag, 'hours')
Cache high-cardinality keys	Cache low-cardinality, filter in-memory

Claude Skill Registry (Data)

This repo contains the archived skill contents (the heavy, browsable skill files).

Canonical layout

• Category folders at repo root (e.g. development/, documents/, data/, ...)
• Each skill lives under a category: <category>/<skill>/SKILL.md + <category>/<skill>/metadata.json
• Case conflicts are resolved with {name}-{owner}-{repo} suffixes (fallback: -{short-hash}).

Archive status

• Live badges above are sourced from claude-skill-registry-core stats.json.
• Counts in this README are intentionally dynamic, not hardcoded.
• If the badges look stale, refresh the core build/index pipeline rather than editing numbers here.

Where the index + site live

• Core repo: https://github.com/majiayu000/claude-skill-registry-core
