Vue 3 Development
Reference for Vue 3 Composition API patterns, component architecture, and testing practices.
Current stable: Vue 3.5+ with enhanced reactivity performance (-56% memory, 10x faster array tracking), new SSR features, and improved developer experience.
Overview
Progressive reference system for Vue 3 projects. Load only files relevant to current task to minimize context usage (~250 tokens base, 500-1500 per sub-file).
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Writing components
- Creating composables ( functions)
- Building client-side utilities
- Testing Vue components/composables
- Server routes, API endpoints
- File-based routing, middleware
- Nuxt-specific patterns
For styled UI components: use

For headless accessible components: use

For VueUse composables: use

Quick Reference
| Working on... | Load file |
|---|
| in | references/components.md |
| File in | references/composables.md |
| File in | references/utils-client.md |
| or | references/testing.md |
| TypeScript patterns | references/typescript.md |
| Vue Router typing | references/router.md |
| Reactivity (ref, watch) | references/reactivity.md |
| Custom directives | references/directives.md |
| Provide/inject | references/provide-inject.md |
| Edge cases, vue-tsc | references/gotchas.md |
Loading Files
Consider loading these reference files based on your task:
DO NOT load all files at once. Load only what's relevant to your current task.
Available Guidance
references/components.md - Props with reactive destructuring, emits patterns, defineModel for v-model, slots shorthand
references/composables.md - Composition API structure, VueUse integration, lifecycle hooks, async patterns, reactivity gotchas
references/utils-client.md - Pure functions, formatters, validators, transformers, when NOT to use utils
references/testing.md - Vitest + @vue/test-utils, component testing, composable testing, router mocking
references/typescript.md - InjectionKey for provide/inject, vue-tsc strict templates, tsconfig settings, generic components
references/router.md - Route meta types, typed params with unplugin-vue-router, scroll behavior, navigation guards
references/reactivity.md - ref, reactive, computed, watch, watchEffect, reactivity fundamentals
references/directives.md - Custom directive hooks, v-focus, v-click-outside, v-tooltip patterns
references/provide-inject.md - InjectionKey typing, app-level provide, readonly patterns
references/gotchas.md - Common gotchas, vue-tsc edge cases, hydration issues, race conditions (from vuejs-ai/skills)
