🚀 NextIntel: Next.js Intelligence Engine

NextIntel is a high-performance static analysis extension for VS Code, specifically architected for the Next.js App Router. It scans your codebase in real-time to ensure your application follows best practices for architecture, performance, and the React Server Components (RSC) paradigm.


✨ Features

🧠 Real-Time Intelligence

  • RSC Boundary Guard: Automatically detects when you're accidentally using Browser APIs (window, localStorage) or React Hooks (useState, useEffect) inside Server Components.
  • Live Diagnostics: Get immediate feedback via red squiggles as you save or switch files.
  • Smart Quick-Fixes: When a boundary violation is detected, a 💡 lightbulb appears. One click adds the "use client"; directive to the top of your file.

⚡ Performance-First Design

  • Debounced Scanning: Intelligent analysis that waits for you to finish typing/saving before running, keeping your editor responsive.
  • AST-Powered: Uses a custom-built, deep-analysis engine (powered by ts-morph) that understands your code structure better than a standard linter.

📊 Health Scoring (Coming Soon)

  • Intelligence Score: A real-time health score of your project’s architecture, deductucting points for critical errors and warnings.

🛠️ Getting Started

  1. Open any Next.js project.
  2. NextIntel will automatically activate and begin scanning your active files.
  3. Check the Problems tab in VS Code for any detected architectural risks.

⚙️ Configuration

NextIntel works out of the box with zero configuration for standard Next.js projects.


🏗️ Architecture

NextIntel is built as a monorepo consisting of:

  • engine: The core static analysis and graph engine.
  • rules: A deterministic rule system for Next.js best practices.
  • cli: A standalone command-line tool for project-wide audits.
  • vscode-extension: The real-time editor integration.

Built by developers who want to master the App Router with confidence.
