Validation prompt
Confirm the detector match and collect the required evidence before deciding whether an edit is warranted.
Fires on a JSXOpeningElement whose tag name is exactly the JSXIdentifier script or Script AND that has a src attribute whose value is a string Literal matching GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_SCRIPT_PATTERN = /google-analytics\.com|googletagmanager\.com\/gtag/ (so src must contain google-analytics.com OR the googletagmanager.com/gtag path). The src must be a plain string Literal: a dynamic src like src={gaUrl} or a template literal is not a Literal node and is skipped, and a googletagmanager.com URL without the /gtag path (e.g. a gtm.js container tag) does not match the regex and is never reported. The detector has no allowlist or exclusion logic and there are no valid/invalid test fixtures carving anything out, so any string-literal src matching the pattern fires. False positive (a judgment-call suppression, not a detector exclusion): a script whose src genuinely matches the GA/gtag pattern but that the team intentionally keeps hand-rolled: e.g. a consent-gated or otherwise custom-optimized GA loader, or a deliberate legacy GA integration the team has chosen not to migrate to @next/third-parties; suppress only when that intent is clear.
Evidence boundary
The diagnostic proves only that the detector’s modeled source pattern matched. It does not prove runtime impact, product intent, rendered failure, or that one remediation is correct.
Establish the environment, repository policy, exceptions, and required rendered or runtime evidence before deciding the occurrence.
Record one outcome:
- Confirmed failure: The required evidence establishes the violation.
- Rejected: A documented exception or false-positive predicate applies.
- Needs evidence: Named evidence can still be collected.
- Unavailable: Required evidence cannot be collected in this run.
- Waived with evidence: An authorized, scoped exception applies to an established failure.
- Observation: The review records an optional tradeoff without claiming a defect.
A waiver records its scope, authority, evidence, and review condition. It is not a pass or false positive.
Default severity is registry metadata. Use the occurrence’s JSON severity after repository configuration when ordering real findings.
Fix prompt
Apply this candidate correction only after the required evidence confirms the risk.
Drop the manual <Script src="...google-analytics.com or googletagmanager.com/gtag..."> tag and use Next.js' optimized third-party component: import { GoogleAnalytics } from '@next/third-parties/google' and render <GoogleAnalytics gaId="G-XXXXXXX" /> (place it in the root layout or the page where you need tracking). This lets Next.js apply its optimized loading strategy and ship a smaller bundle instead of blocking rendering with a hand-rolled script tag. See https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/third-party-libraries
Repository-wide copy prompt
Use this repository-wide prompt only after validating each occurrence. For one occurrence, use the guidance above.

Validation before editing:

Constraints:
- Make the smallest change that fixes the root cause.
- Preserve behavior and interfaces unrelated to this diagnostic.
- Reuse existing project components, utilities, and conventions.
- Do not introduce render-phase side effects, render-phase state updates, or Hooks rule violations.
- Adapt identifiers and framework details instead of copying blindly.
- Do not disable the rule or suppress matching code.
- Confirm this rule is enabled for the project:
framework=nextjs and capabilities=nextjs.
Assessment:
- Record detector evidence, applicability facts, assumptions, missing evidence, and the rule class for this occurrence.
- Return one outcome: Confirmed failure, Rejected, Needs evidence, Unavailable, Waived with evidence, or Observation.
- A waiver records the established failure, scope, authority, evidence, and review or expiry condition. It is not a pass or false positive.
Verification:
- Run focused tests for the changed behavior.
- Run React Doctor and confirm this diagnostic no longer appears from changed code.
- Run an unfiltered scan of the affected scope before claiming no cross-category regression.
- Report the files changed and any checks you could not run.
