PHP vs Next.js: Technology Decision Framework

Use When

• Decision framework for choosing PHP vs Next.js/Node.js for web projects. Covers when to use each, migration strategies, and the hybrid approach. Use when starting a new project, evaluating technology stack, or deciding whether to extend PHP...
• The task needs reusable judgment, domain constraints, or a proven workflow rather than ad hoc advice.

Do Not Use When

• The task is unrelated to php-vs-nextjs or would be better handled by a more specific companion skill.
• The request only needs a trivial answer and none of this skill's constraints or references materially help.

Required Inputs

• Gather relevant project context, constraints, and the concrete problem to solve.
• Confirm the desired deliverable: design, code, review, migration plan, audit, or documentation.
