Use when working with Nuxt Content v3 - provides collections (local/remote/API sources), queryCollection API, MDC rendering, database configuration, NuxtStudio integration, hooks, i18n patterns, and LLMs integration
Nuxt Content v3
Progressive guidance for content-driven Nuxt apps with typed collections and SQL-backed queries.
When to Use
Working with:
- Content collections (
content.config.ts,defineCollection) - Remote sources (GitHub repos, external APIs via
defineCollectionSource) - Content queries (
queryCollection, navigation, search) - MDC rendering (
<ContentRenderer>, prose components) - Database configuration (SQLite, PostgreSQL, D1, LibSQL)
- Content hooks (
content:file:beforeParse,content:file:afterParse) - i18n multi-language content
- NuxtStudio or preview mode
- LLMs integration (
nuxt-llms)
For writing documentation: use document-writer skill
For Nuxt basics: use nuxt skill
For NuxtHub deployment: use nuxthub skill (NuxtHub v1 compatible)
Available Guidance
Read specific files based on current work:
- references/collections.md - defineCollection, schemas, sources, content.config.ts
- references/querying.md - queryCollection, navigation, search, surroundings
- references/rendering.md - ContentRenderer, MDC syntax, prose components, Shiki
- references/config.md - Database setup, markdown plugins, renderer options
- references/studio.md - NuxtStudio integration, preview mode, live editing
Loading Files
Consider loading these reference files based on your task:
- [ ] references/collections.md - if setting up collections, schemas, or content.config.ts
- [ ] references/querying.md - if using queryCollection, navigation, or search
- [ ] references/rendering.md - if rendering markdown/MDC or working with ContentRenderer
- [ ] references/config.md - if configuring database, markdown plugins, or renderer options
- [ ] references/studio.md - if integrating NuxtStudio or preview mode
DO NOT load all files at once. Load only what's relevant to your current task.
Key Concepts
| Concept | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Collections | Typed content groups with schemas |
| Page vs Data | page = routes + body, data = structured data only |
| Remote sources | source.repository for GitHub, defineCollectionSource for APIs |
| queryCollection | SQL-like fluent API for content |
| MDC | Vue components inside markdown |
| ContentRenderer | Renders parsed markdown body |

Token Efficiency
Main skill: ~300 tokens. Each sub-file: ~800-1200 tokens. Only load files relevant to current task.

cache-components
Expert guidance for Next.js Cache Components and Partial Prerendering (PPR). **PROACTIVE ACTIVATION**: Use this skill automatically when working in Next.js projects that have `cacheComponents: true` in their next.config.ts/next.config.js. When this config is detected, proactively apply Cache Components patterns and best practices to all React Server Component implementations. **DETECTION**: At the start of a session in a Next.js project, check for `cacheComponents: true` in next.config. If enabled, this skill's patterns should guide all component authoring, data fetching, and caching decisions. **USE CASES**: Implementing 'use cache' directive, configuring cache lifetimes with cacheLife(), tagging cached data with cacheTag(), invalidating caches with updateTag()/revalidateTag(), optimizing static vs dynamic content boundaries, debugging cache issues, and reviewing Cache Component implementations.

component-refactoring
Refactor high-complexity React components in Dify frontend. Use when `pnpm analyze-component --json` shows complexity > 50 or lineCount > 300, when the user asks for code splitting, hook extraction, or complexity reduction, or when `pnpm analyze-component` warns to refactor before testing; avoid for simple/well-structured components, third-party wrappers, or when the user explicitly wants testing without refactoring.
