## TL;DR

Export an async `generateStaticParams()` from the failing page returning every param combination to prerender. Next.js cannot statically generate a dynamic route with `dynamicParams = false` unless you tell it which paths exist. Add the export and the build passes.

```text
Error: Page "/blog/[slug]" is missing "generateStaticParams()"
```

## Steps

1. Open the page file the error names. Check for `export const dynamicParams = false` in the file, or `output: 'export'` in the Next.js config.
   Expected: you find one of the two static constraints.

2. Add the export listing every path to prerender:
   ```js
   export async function generateStaticParams() {
     const posts = await getAllPosts();
     return posts.map((post) => ({ slug: post.slug }));
   }
   ```
   Expected: the page now declares its full param list.

3. If the page should stay dynamic instead, remove `dynamicParams = false` (and do not use static export for it).
   Expected: the build no longer requires the param list.

4. Run `next build`.
   Expected: `Compiled successfully`, and the page appears in the static output list.

## Use this when

- `next build` fails naming a dynamic page and generateStaticParams
- Upgrading to the app router with static export enabled
- A [param] page sets `dynamicParams = false`
- Migrating getStaticPaths-era pages that never declared their paths in the new shape

## Not for this skill when

- The page should render on demand (drop the static constraint instead of adding the export)
- generateStaticParams is present but throws (that is a data-fetch bug inside it)
- You are still on the pages/ directory (that uses getStaticPaths, a different model)
- The error is about `params` being a promise (that is the Next 15 async params change; await it)

## Variant phrasings

- next.js page is missing generateStaticParams output export
- generateStaticParams dynamicParams false error
- next 15 build fails dynamic route static params
- app router missing generateStaticParams

## Why it happens

With `dynamicParams = false`, Next.js only serves paths known at build time; with `output: 'export'` there is no server at all. In both cases the framework needs the full param list up front, and `generateStaticParams` is the API that provides it. The app-router upgrade surfaces this because the pages/ router inferred params through getStaticPaths, and migrations do not always carry that intent across.

## Edge cases

- Next 15 made `params` async: inside the page use `const { slug } = await params`, not direct destructuring.
- Returning an empty array with `dynamicParams = false` makes every path 404. Make sure the list is complete.
- generateStaticParams runs at build time: it cannot read request headers or cookies.
- ISR revalidation still works per page, but new unknown paths will not appear until the next build when dynamicParams is false.
