Initialize a New Next.js App

Ask for the project name if not given, then run the phases in order. All @latest tags resolve to current stable at install time — no doc lookups.

1. Create

npx create-next-app@latest <name> --yes

All subsequent commands run inside the <name>/ directory.

2. Prettier

npm i -D prettier eslint-config-prettier

• Write <name>/.prettierrc → {}
• Read <name>/eslint.config.mjs. Add import eslintConfigPrettier from "eslint-config-prettier/flat"; near the other imports, then append eslintConfigPrettier as the last element of the eslintConfig array (after the ...compat.extends(...) spread).

3. Husky + lint-staged

npm i -D husky lint-staged
npx husky init

• Overwrite <name>/.husky/pre-commit with: npx lint-staged
• Add to <name>/package.json: "lint-staged": { "*": "prettier --ignore-unknown --write" }

4. Verify

npx prettier --write .
npm run lint

Fix any errors before declaring success. Tell the user the project path and that commits now auto-format.
