---name: next-upgradedescription: Upgrade Next.js to the latest version following official migration guides and codemodsargument-hint: "[target-version]"--- # Upgrade Next.js Upgrade the current project to the latest Next.js version following official migration guides. ## Instructions 1. **Detect current version**: Read `package.json` to identify the current Next.js version and related dependencies (React, React DOM, etc.) 2. **Fetch the latest upgrade guide**: Use WebFetch to get the official upgrade documentation:   - Codemods: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods   - Version-specific guides (adjust version as needed):     - https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/upgrading/version-16      - https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/upgrading/version-15     - https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/upgrading/version-14 3. **Determine upgrade path**: Based on current version, identify which migration steps apply. For major version jumps, upgrade incrementally (e.g., 13 → 14 → 15). 4. **Run codemods first**: Next.js provides codemods to automate breaking changes:   ```bash   npx @next/codemod@latest <transform> <path>   ```   Common transforms:   - `next-async-request-api` - Updates async Request APIs (v15)   - `next-request-geo-ip` - Migrates geo/ip properties (v15)   - `next-dynamic-access-named-export` - Transforms dynamic imports (v15) 5. **Update dependencies**: Upgrade Next.js and peer dependencies together:   ```bash   npm install next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest   ``` 6. **Review breaking changes**: Check the upgrade guide for manual changes needed:   - API changes (e.g., async params in v15)   - Configuration changes in `next.config.js`   - Deprecated features being removed 7. **Update TypeScript types** (if applicable):   ```bash   npm install @types/react@latest @types/react-dom@latest   ``` 8. **Test the upgrade**:   - Run `npm run build` to check for build errors   - Run `npm run dev` and test key functionality
