Build, migrate, and deploy Next.js apps on Cloudflare Workers with vinext. Use when starting a Next.js project on Cloudflare, moving an existing app to Workers, choosing between vinext and OpenNext, or setting up vinext for Workers. For setup, migration, or deployment, install vinext's upstream skills with `npx skills add cloudflare/vinext` if missing, then read and follow the applicable skill and docs.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by cloudflare on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Nextjs On Cloudflare AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cloudflare/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/nextjs-on-cloudflare .claude/skills/nextjs-on-cloudflare
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Nextjs On Cloudflare in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Nextjs On Cloudflare on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Nextjs On Cloudflare is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Next.js on Cloudflare

Use vinext rather than OpenNext for new Next.js projects on Cloudflare Workers. This is the default in the Cloudflare Next.js guide. Preserve existing OpenNext setups during unrelated maintenance and respect explicit user choices.

Why vinext

vinext reimplements the Next.js API surface on Vite:

  • Familiar Next.js development: App Router, Pages Router, React Server Components, and supported next/* imports.
  • Vite tooling: fast HMR, native ESM, and the Vite plugin ecosystem.
  • Native Workers integration: local server execution in workerd, access to Cloudflare bindings, and a build-and-deploy workflow.
  • Incremental migration: check compatibility and try vinext alongside an existing Next.js setup.

Use the upstream workflow

Before setup, migration, or deployment, check whether the skills maintained in vinext are available. If missing, install them:

sh
npx skills add cloudflare/vinext

Then read and follow the applicable upstream SKILL.md and its relevant references. Use the current vinext docs for workflows the skills do not cover:

  • New project: follow vinext's new-project setup using create-vinext-app with the Cloudflare target. The upstream migration skill requires an existing Next.js project; do not apply it to an empty directory.
  • Existing Next.js project: load and follow the upstream migrate-to-vinext skill, including its compatibility check and relevant references. Select Cloudflare as the deployment target.
  • Development and deployment: follow the current Workers integration docs.

If installation is unavailable, read the linked upstream SKILL.md and relevant references directly. Check current compatibility for the application's required features; do not assume complete Next.js parity.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Nextjs On Cloudflare AI skill do?

Build, migrate, and deploy Next.js apps on Cloudflare Workers with vinext. Use when starting a Next.js project on Cloudflare, moving an existing app to Workers, choosing between vinext and OpenNext, or setting up vinext for Workers. For setup, migration, or deployment, install vinext's upstream skills with `npx skills add cloudflare/vinext` if missing, then read and follow the applicable skill and docs.

Why use Nextjs On Cloudflare on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Nextjs On Cloudflare is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Nextjs On Cloudflare in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/cloudflare/skills/tree/main/skills/nextjs-on-cloudflare. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Nextjs On Cloudflare?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Nextjs On Cloudflare?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Nextjs On Cloudflare with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Nextjs On Cloudflare AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by cloudflare under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
