 ## 🔥 Next.js App Router Support
 
-**New Feature!** Shadiff now automatically detects Next.js projects and provides intelligent handling for app directory files:
+**New Feature!** Shadiff now automatically detects Next.js projects and provides user choice for handling app directory files:
+
+### User Choice Strategies
+
+**Preserve Strategy (Default)**: Protects your app code by targeting app directory files to `examples/` subdirectories
+
+**Overwrite Strategy**: Keeps app directory files in their original positions (may be overwritten during registry use)
 
 ### How It Works
 
 1. **Automatic Detection** - Detects Next.js projects by checking for `next.config.js`, `next.config.mjs`, or `next.config.ts`
-2. **Smart Targeting** - Files in `app/` or `src/app/` directories are automatically targeted to `examples/` subdirectories
-3. **Preserves Your App** - Prevents overwriting your actual Next.js app code during registry generation
+2. **User Choice** - Choose between preserving app code or allowing overwrite via CLI option or config file
+3. **Smart Targeting** - Based on your choice, files are targeted appropriately
+
+### CLI Usage
+
+```bash
+# Preserve strategy (default) - targets app files to examples/
+npx shadiff generate --nextjs-app-strategy preserve
+
+# Overwrite strategy - keeps app files in original positions  
+npx shadiff generate --nextjs-app-strategy overwrite
+
+# Default behavior (preserve)
+npx shadiff generate
+```
 
 ### Example Output
 
+**Preserve Strategy:**
+
+```bash
+🔥 Next.js project detected! App directory files will be targeted to examples/ to preserve your app code
+📂 Next.js app file detected: src/app/page.tsx -> examples/src/app/page.tsx (preserving original)
+```
+
+**Overwrite Strategy:**
+
 ```bash
-🔥 Next.js project detected! App directory files will be targeted to examples/
-📂 Next.js app file detected: src/app/page.tsx -> examples/src/app/page.tsx
-📂 Next.js app file detected: app/dashboard/page.tsx -> examples/app/dashboard/page.tsx
+🔥 Next.js project detected! App directory files will be kept in original positions (may be overwritten)
+📂 Next.js app file detected: src/app/page.tsx (will be overwritten)
 ```
 
 ### Benefits
 
-- ✅ **Safe Registry Generation** - Your app code remains untouched
-- ✅ **Example Preservation** - App files become examples for other developers
-- ✅ **Zero Configuration** - Works automatically when Next.js is detected
+- ✅ **User Choice** - Choose between safety (preserve) or original structure (overwrite)
+- ✅ **Safe by Default** - Preserve strategy protects your app code automatically
+- ✅ **Flexible Configuration** - Set strategy via CLI option or config file
+- ✅ **Clear Messaging** - Different console output for each strategy
 - ✅ **Flexible Structure** - Supports both `app/` and `src/app/` directory structures

+# Automatic Next.js Strategy Selection - Implementation Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+Successfully implemented automatic Next.js strategy selection that prompts users to choose between "preserve" and "overwrite" strategies when:
+
+1. No `shadcn-registry.config.json` file exists, OR
+2. The config file exists but doesn't contain the `nextjsAppStrategy` property
+
+## ✨ How It Works
+
+### 🔍 **Detection Logic**
+
+The CLI automatically detects when Next.js strategy selection is needed using the `needsNextjsStrategySelection()` function:
+
+```typescript
+function needsNextjsStrategySelection(): boolean {
+  const configPath = "shadcn-registry.config.json";
+  
+  // If config file doesn't exist, need strategy selection
+  if (!fs.existsSync(configPath)) {
+    return true;
+  }
+  
+  try {
+    const config = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(configPath, "utf8"));
+    // If nextjsAppStrategy is not defined in config, need strategy selection
+    return !config.hasOwnProperty('nextjsAppStrategy');
+  } catch (error) {
+    // If config file is invalid, need strategy selection
+    return true;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 🎨 **Interactive Selection**
+
+When strategy selection is needed, users see a beautiful interactive prompt:
+
+```
+ℹ️ Next.js project detected! 🔥
+? 🔥 Choose Next.js app directory strategy: (Use arrow keys)
+❯ Preserve (Recommended) - Keep your app code safe, target to examples/
+  Overwrite - Original positions, may overwrite your app code
+```
+
+### 🚀 **Trigger Scenarios**
+
+#### Scenario 1: No Config File
+
+```bash
+# When shadcn-registry.config.json doesn't exist
+shadiff generate
+# ✨ Triggers interactive Next.js strategy selection
+```
+
+#### Scenario 2: Config Missing Strategy
+
+```json
+// shadcn-registry.config.json without nextjsAppStrategy
+{
+  "rootDir": ".",
+  "outputFile": "registry.json",
+  "author": "Project Author"
+  // Missing: "nextjsAppStrategy"
+}
+```
+
+```bash
+shadiff generate
+# ✨ Triggers interactive Next.js strategy selection
+```
+
+#### Scenario 3: No Command Specified
+
+```bash
+# Just running the CLI without commands
+shadiff
+# ✨ Shows welcome message, then triggers strategy selection if needed
+```
+
+### ⚙️ **Bypass Scenarios**
+
+The interactive selection is **NOT** triggered when:
+
+#### Explicit CLI Option
+
+```bash
+shadiff generate --nextjs-app-strategy overwrite
+# ✅ Uses explicit strategy, no prompt
+```
+
+#### Config Has Strategy
+
+```json
+// shadcn-registry.config.json with nextjsAppStrategy
+{
+  "rootDir": ".",
+  "outputFile": "registry.json",
+  "author": "Project Author",
+  "nextjsAppStrategy": "preserve"
+}
+```
+
+```bash
+shadiff generate
+# ✅ Uses config strategy, no prompt
+```
+
+#### Interactive Mode
+
+```bash
+shadiff generate -i
+# ✅ Full interactive mode handles strategy selection as part of workflow
+```
+
+## 🎯 **User Experience**
+
+### **Strategy Options**
+
+1. **Preserve (Recommended)** 🔒
+   - Color: Green highlight
+   - Description: "Keep your app code safe, target to examples/"
+   - Behavior: App directory files → `examples/` folder
+   - Safe choice that won't overwrite existing app code
+
+2. **Overwrite** ⚠️
+   - Color: Yellow highlight  
+   - Description: "Original positions, may overwrite your app code"
+   - Behavior: App directory files stay in original positions
+   - May overwrite existing app code during registry installation
+
+### **Visual Feedback**
+
+- **Cyan**: Strategy selection headers
+- **Green**: Preserve option (safe choice)
+- **Yellow**: Overwrite option (warning)
+- **Blue**: Information messages
+- **Gray**: Descriptions and hints
+
+## 🔧 **Technical Implementation**
+
+### **Files Modified**
+
+1. **`src/cli/interactive.ts`**
+   - Added `needsNextjsStrategySelection()` function
+   - Added `selectNextjsStrategy()` function
+   - Modified `runGenerate()` to handle auto-selection
+   - Updated no-command scenario to include strategy selection
+   - Removed default value from `--nextjs-app-strategy` option
+
+### **Key Changes**
+
+```typescript
+// Enhanced generate command logic
+async function runGenerate(options: any, interactive: boolean = false) {
+  // ... existing code ...
+  
+  // Check if we need to ask for Next.js strategy
+  const isNextJs = NextJsDetector.isNextJsProject(process.cwd());
+  const needsStrategy = needsNextjsStrategySelection();
+  
+  let nextjsAppStrategy = options.nextjsAppStrategy;
+  
+  // If Next.js project and strategy not configured, ask for it
+  if (isNextJs && needsStrategy && !nextjsAppStrategy) {
+    console.log(); // Add spacing
+    nextjsAppStrategy = await selectNextjsStrategy();
+    console.log(); // Add spacing
+  }
+  
+  // ... rest of logic ...
+}
+```
+
+## 🧪 **Testing Results**
+
+All scenarios have been thoroughly tested:
+
+✅ **No config file** - Prompts for strategy selection  
+✅ **Config missing strategy** - Prompts for strategy selection  
+✅ **Config has strategy** - Uses existing strategy, no prompt  
+✅ **Explicit CLI option** - Uses provided strategy, no prompt  
+✅ **Interactive mode** - Handles strategy as part of full workflow  
+✅ **No command specified** - Shows welcome, then prompts if needed  
+✅ **Both strategy options** - Preserve and overwrite work correctly  
+✅ **Color output** - Beautiful visual feedback for all scenarios  
+✅ **Backward compatibility** - All existing functionality preserved  
+
+## 📋 **Usage Examples**
+
+### **Automatic Selection Scenarios**
