| 3 | ## Analysis Process |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ### Step 1: Detect Router Type |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Check for App Router (`app/` directory) vs Pages Router (`pages/` directory). A project may use both (hybrid). |
| 8 | |
| 9 | ### Step 2: Map All Routes |
| 10 | |
| 11 | **App Router** — Scan `app/` directory: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | For every `page.tsx`/`page.js` file, record: |
| 14 | - Route path (derived from directory structure) |
| 15 | - Whether it's a dynamic route (`[param]`, `[...catchAll]`, `[[...optional]]`) |
| 16 | - Route group membership (`(group)`) |
| 17 | - Parallel routes (`@slot`) |
| 18 | - Intercepting routes (`(.)`, `(..)`, `(...)`) |
| 19 | |
| 20 | For every route segment, check for: |
| 21 | - `layout.tsx` — Layout wrapper |
| 22 | - `loading.tsx` — Loading UI |
| 23 | - `error.tsx` — Error boundary |
| 24 | - `not-found.tsx` — 404 handler |
| 25 | - `template.tsx` — Re-mounting layout |
| 26 | - `default.tsx` — Parallel route fallback |
| 27 | |
| 28 | **Pages Router** — Scan `pages/` directory: |
| 29 | - Map all page files to routes |
| 30 | - Check for `_app.tsx`, `_document.tsx`, `_error.tsx` |
| 31 | - Identify dynamic routes (`[param].tsx`) |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ### Step 3: Analyze Route Configuration |
| 34 | |
| 35 | For each route, determine: |
| 36 | - **Data fetching strategy**: Server component fetch, `generateStaticParams`, ISR, client-side |
| 37 | - **Authentication**: Is it behind middleware auth check? |
| 38 | - **Metadata**: Has `generateMetadata` or `metadata` export? |
| 39 | - **Component type**: Server or client component? |
| 40 | |
| 41 | ### Step 4: Check Middleware |
| 42 | |
| 43 | Read `middleware.ts`/`middleware.js`: |
| 44 | - What routes does the matcher cover? |
| 45 | - What does it do (auth redirect, i18n, headers)? |
| 46 | - Are there gaps (routes that should be protected but aren't)? |
| 47 | |
| 48 | ### Step 5: Generate Route Map |
| 49 | |
| 50 | ``` |
| 51 | ## Route Map |
| 52 | |
| 53 | ### App Router Routes |
| 54 | |
| 55 | | Route | Type | Layout | Loading | Error | Auth | Metadata | |
| 56 | |-------|------|--------|---------|-------|------|----------| |
| 57 | | / | Static | root | yes | yes | No | yes | |
| 58 | | /dashboard | Server | dashboard | yes | no | Yes | yes | |
| 59 | | /dashboard/[id] | Dynamic | dashboard | no | no | Yes | no | |
| 60 | | /api/users | API | — | — | — | No | — | |
| 61 | | /blog/[slug] | SSG | blog | yes | yes | No | yes | |
| 62 | |
| 63 | ### Route Tree |
| 64 | ``` |
| 65 | app/ |
| 66 | ├── layout.tsx ← Root layout |
| 67 | ├── page.tsx ← / (home) |
| 68 | ├── error.tsx ← Root error boundary |
| 69 | ├── not-found.tsx ← 404 |
| 70 | ├── (auth)/ |
| 71 | │ ├── layout.tsx ← Auth layout (login/register) |
| 72 | │ ├── login/page.tsx ← /login |
| 73 | │ └── register/page.tsx ← /register |
| 74 | ├── (main)/ |
| 75 | │ ├── layout.tsx ← Main layout (authenticated) |
| 76 | │ ├── dashboard/ |
| 77 | │ │ ├── page.tsx ← /dashboard |
| 78 | │ │ ├── loading.tsx ← Loading state |
| 79 | │ │ └── [id]/ |
| 80 | │ │ └── page.tsx ← /dashboard/:id ⚠️ Missing error.tsx |
| 81 | │ └── settings/ |
| 82 | │ └── page.tsx ← /settings ⚠️ Missing loading.tsx |
| 83 | └── api/ |
| 84 | └── users/ |
| 85 | └── route.ts ← /api/users ⚠️ No auth check |
| 86 | ``` |
| 87 | |
| 88 | ### Issues Found |
| 89 | |
| 90 | #### Missing Error Boundaries |
| 91 | | Route | Risk | |
| 92 | |-------|------| |
| 93 | | /dashboard/[id] | Dynamic route without error boundary — unhandled errors crash parent | |
| 94 | | /settings | No error boundary — falls through to root | |
| 95 | |
| 96 | #### Missing Loading States |
| 97 | | Route | Impact | |
| 98 | |-------|--------| |
| 99 | | /settings | No loading UI — appears frozen during data fetch | |
| 100 | |
| 101 | #### Unprotected Routes |
| 102 | | Route | Expected | Actual | |
| 103 | |-------|----------|--------| |
| 104 | | /api/users | Authenticated | No middleware match | |
| 105 | |
| 106 | #### Missing Metadata |
| 107 | | Route | Impact | |
| 108 | |-------|--------| |
| 109 | | /dashboard/[id] | No page title — bad for SEO and tab identification | |
| 110 | |
| 111 | ### Recommendations |

| 113 | ``` |
| 114 | |
| 115 | ## Rules |
| 116 | |
| 117 | - Always present routes as both a table and a visual tree |
| 118 | - Flag every missing error.tsx on dynamic routes as a warning |
| 119 | - Flag every API route without auth as a potential security issue |
| 120 | - Check that generateStaticParams is used where applicable |
| 121 | - Note if middleware has gaps in its matcher patterns |
| 122 | - Never modify files — only analyze and report |
