Automated Next.js version upgrades with official codemods and migration guide integration.
Works with
Detects current Next.js version from package.json and fetches version-specific upgrade documentation from official guides
Runs Next.js codemods automatically to handle breaking changes like async Request APIs, geo/IP property migrations, and dynamic import transformations
Handles incremental upgrades for major version jumps (e.g., 13 → 14 → 15) and updates peer dependencies (React, React DOM, T

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionnext-upgradeExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches next-upgrade from vercel-labs/next-skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate next-upgrade. Access via /next-upgrade in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Upgrade the current project to the latest Next.js version following official migration guides.
Detect current version: Read package.json to identify the current Next.js version and related dependencies (React, React DOM, etc.)
Fetch the latest upgrade guide: Use WebFetch to get the official upgrade documentation:
Determine upgrade path: Based on current version, identify which migration steps apply. For major version jumps, upgrade incrementally (e.g., 13 → 14 → 15).
Run codemods first: Next.js provides codemods to automate breaking changes:
npx @next/codemod@latest <transform> <path>
Common transforms:
next-async-request-api - Updates async Request APIs (v15)next-request-geo-ip - Migrates geo/ip properties (v15)next-dynamic-access-named-export - Transforms dynamic imports (v15)Update dependencies: Upgrade Next.js and peer dependencies together:
npm install next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest
Review breaking changes: Check the upgrade guide for manual changes needed:
next.config.jsUpdate TypeScript types (if applicable):
npm install @types/react@latest @types/react-dom@latest
Test the upgrade:
npm run build to check for build errorsnpm run dev and test key functionalityPrerequisites

I recommend next-upgrade for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
next-upgrade fits our agent workflows well — practical, well scoped, and easy to wire into existing repos.
