Key point

**next-forge 6**, a Turborepo template for Next.js apps, has been released, introducing default Bun support and a skill for AI agents.

Details

next-forge is a production-grade Turborepo template for Next.js apps. This major update improves the developer experience (DX) and introduces new features for AI agents.

Key changes include:

  • next-forge skill: Can provide AI agents with structured knowledge of next-forge's architecture, packages, and common tasks.
  • Default Bun support: The default package manager has been changed to Bun. Existing pnpm, npm, and yarn can still be used via the initialization process.
  • Graceful degradation: Missing environment variables for optional integrations like Stripe and PostHog no longer trigger errors, instead returning safe defaults. A project can now be run with just DATABASE_URL.

Additionally, a Quickstart guide using Clerk and Postgres and a Docker deployment guide have been newly added, along with migration guides for Appwrite, Convex, and Novu.
