Route Handler Design

Agent skill
1 skill

Use when designing or reviewing Next.js Route Handlers (route.ts): when a Route Handler is right vs Server Actions or Server Components, the HTTP-method-as-export contract (GET/POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE/HEAD/OPTIONS), Web-standard Request/Response interface, body-parsing primitives, GET caching and opt-out, dynamic segments, manual CORS, runtime selection (Edge vs Node), streaming via ReadableStream, status/header discipline, error responses, webhook-style handlers, and the rule that Route Handlers are the right surface when the caller is not your own Next.js UI. Do NOT use for internal UI mutations (use server-actions-design), REST contract design (use api-design), abstract HTTP semantics (use http-semantics), cross-route preprocessing (use middleware-patterns), or webhook reliability (use webhook-integration).
