AI coding agents often rely on outdated training data when working with Next.js projects, leading to hallucinated APIs and deprecated patterns. This PR addresses that by shipping version-matched documentation inside the `next` npm package and generating agent instruction files during `create-next-app`. During `next` build, a new `copy_docs` task copies `docs/` from the repo root into `dist/docs/`. Since `"dist"` is already in the package's `files` array, the docs are automatically published at `node_modules/next/dist/docs/`. `create-next-app` gains a new `--agents-md` / `--no-agents-md` flag (defaults to `true`). When enabled it writes two files: - `AGENTS.md` — instructs agents to read `node_modules/next/dist/docs/` instead of relying on training data - `CLAUDE.md` — uses `@AGENTS.md` import syntax for Claude Code The option appears in the recommended defaults display and is prompted during the customize flow. Existing tests are updated with `--no-agents-md` to avoid the new prompt.
