Next.js Code Review Rules

Security (Critical)

• Server Actions must validate and sanitize all input
• No secrets exposed in client components
• Check headers() and cookies() usage is server-side only
• Sanitize all dynamic values (file names, HTTP headers) to prevent injection attacks
• Never use HTML comments (<!-- -->) in production code
• Validate and escape all user-provided content before rendering

App Router Structure

• Verify app/ directory structure follows conventions (page.tsx, layout.tsx, loading.tsx, error.tsx)
• Check use client directive is only used when necessary (event handlers, hooks, browser APIs)
• Server Components should not import client-only libraries (useState, useEffect, etc.)
• Implement error boundaries with error.tsx for error handling
• Use error boundaries to catch and handle errors in Server Components
• Provide fallback UIs for errors with proper error messages
