Comprehensive patterns for Next.js 14+ App Router architecture, Server Components, and modern full-stack React development.
| Mode | Where | When to Use | | --------------------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------------- | | Server Components | Server only | Data fetching, heavy computation, secrets | | Client Components | Browser | Interactivity, hooks, browser APIs | | Static | Build time | Content that rarely changes | | Dynamic | Request time | Personalized or real-time data | | Streaming | Progressive | Large pages, slow data sources |

tools
Install and operate Hermes Tweet, a Hermes Agent plugin for X/Twitter research, timeline reading, tweet analysis, and approval-gated private or state-changing operations. Use this skill when installing Hermes Tweet, researching X/Twitter accounts, monitoring launch signals, investigating mentions, auditing giveaways, or preparing gated X operations. Use proactively when a Hermes Agent workflow needs current X/Twitter context. Requires XQUIK_API_KEY for read and action tools.
testing
Audit and rewrite prose so it stops reading as machine-generated. Use this skill when asked to remove AI-isms, clean up AI writing, edit a draft for AI tells, audit a README, changelog, release note, PR description, or blog post for machine-sounding prose, or make text sound less like AI. Supports a detect-only mode, a rewrite mode, and an edit-in-place mode, with optional voice and context profiles.
development
Python design patterns including KISS, Separation of Concerns, Single Responsibility, and composition over inheritance. Use this skill when designing a new service or component from scratch and choosing how to layer responsibilities, when refactoring a God class or monolithic function that has grown too large, when deciding whether to add a new abstraction or live with duplication, when evaluating a pull request for structural issues like tight coupling or leaking internal types, when choosing between inheritance and composition for a new class hierarchy, or when a codebase is becoming hard to test because of entangled I/O and business logic.
development
This skill should be used when the user asks to "optimize a prompt", "improve prompt performance", "design a prompt template", "write better prompts", "debug prompt issues", "use chain-of-thought", "structured prompting", "few-shot prompting", or wants to apply advanced prompt engineering patterns for production LLM applications.
