The development contract that makes design and code meet. Use when building or changing an API route, a form/mutation, a schema or migration, raw SQL, a cache/ETag/revalidation path, a background job, a production data fix, an Electron desktop release, or when implementing a screen from a design spec — and before saying "done" on any backend change.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# nextcore-dev

Design and code drift apart at the **data contract**, not at the pixels.
A mockup shows a price, a badge, an empty list. Code has to answer three questions for each:
where does the value come from, what shape does the API return, and what signal tells the UI
which state to draw. When nobody writes those answers down, each side guesses.

This skill is the written answer. It pairs with
[nextcore-design](https://github.com/kennetvn/nextcore-skills/tree/main/plugins/nextcore-design): that skill produces `spec.md`
with a **field map**; this skill turns the field map into an **API contract** and a set of
backend rules that keep the contract true in production.

Distilled from a production booking platform (Next.js, Prisma, MySQL, ~230 pages, ~740 API
routes, a fleet of browser extensions calling the API). Every rule below cost at least one
incident. The numbers are real.

## 1. The chain: design element → field → API → UI state

```
spec.md field map ──► API contract ──► handler + schema ──► UI states

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kennetvn/nextcore-skills/nextcore-dev@sha256:c1075bab8f3cb5fc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.5e13a1d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
