Component Architecture for React Server Components
Traces the evolution from useEffect to React Query to route-level loaders to RSCs, using a social feed app as an example. The main takeaway: let each component fetch its own data on the server and use Suspense boundaries to design the loading experience instead of fetching all data at the top of a route and drilling it down through props
► I Tested Next.js Dev MCP (So You Don't Have To)
The video looks at Next.js DevTools MCP, a tool that helps AI editors understand your Next.js app better. It can read the latest docs, see routes and errors, and give more accurate help when building with newer Next.js features

Next.js migration toolkit that eliminates guesswork and protects production and stability
Most Next.js migrations from Pages Router to App Router follow the same pattern: a developer reads the docs, starts converting files, breaks something in production, then spends weeks firefighting.
The real problem with migrations are the edge cases nobody warns you about, and the lack of systematic approach. We’ve done enough migrations to confidently say - we’ve been there and done that.
So we built Skills.md — an agent-oriented migration toolkit that gives AI coding agents (and developers) a structured, production-safe path from Pages Router to App Router.
Instead of guesswork and broken deploys you get a repeatable process built from real migration experience.
It's open source and built for Skills.sh.
