# nuxt-content

A skill for @nuxt/content work: collections, schemas, queries and Markdown rendering. Useful once a Nuxt project grows and content needs types.

## What it does

The skill walks a task in three steps. First it inspects the installed `@nuxt/content` version, `content.config.ts`, the matching files under `content/`, and whatever Nuxt surface consumes them. The branch is understood when the collection, source glob, schema and consumer agree.

Then it opens one of five references: collections, querying, rendering, configuration, advanced. Inside you get collection types, schemas and indexes, filtering and sorting, MDC and `ContentRenderer`, database adapters, hooks, custom sources, search, and the move off Content v2. A routing table sends visual editing and Git publishing to the `nuxt-studio` skill, and documentation prose to `document-writer`.

The baseline example defines a `page` collection with a `docs/**` source and a zod schema, then queries it in Vue with `queryCollection('docs').path(route.path).first()` inside `useAsyncData`. Run `npx nuxi typecheck` to verify the generated types. When a query comes back empty, check that the file is covered by the collection source first — `.navigation.yml` included — before touching query logic. That order matters, because the glob is the usual culprit.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add onmax/nuxt-skills --skill nuxt-content -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/nuxt-content/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/nuxt-content/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add onmax/nuxt-skills --skill nuxt-content -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/nuxt-content/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add onmax/nuxt-skills --skill nuxt-content -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/nuxt-content/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install onmax/nuxt-skills nuxt-content
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/nuxt-content/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add onmax/nuxt-skills --skill nuxt-content -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/onmax/nuxt-skills --path skills/nuxt-content
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/nuxt-content/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add onmax/nuxt-skills --skill nuxt-content -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/onmax/nuxt-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/nuxt-content/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- declare a `page` collection with a zod schema
- render a Markdown page through `ContentRenderer`
- filter and sort documents in `queryCollection`
- wire up a custom content source or hook
- migrate a project off Content v2

## Example prompts
- Describe the docs collection in content.config.ts and wire it to a page
- Why does queryCollection return an empty array for this route?
- Help me migrate from Content v2 to the current version

# Nuxt Content

## Workflow

1. Inspect the installed `@nuxt/content` version, `content.config.ts`, matching files under `content/`, and the Nuxt surface that consumes them. The branch is understood when the collection, source glob, schema, and consumer agree.
2. Open the smallest matching guide below. Apply Nuxt Content guidance only to content-owned APIs; use Nuxt, Nuxt Studio, Nuxt UI, or Vue guidance when those packages own the remaining surface.
3. Implement with typed collections and payload-backed Nuxt data loading. The change is complete when collection types resolve, the intended query returns the expected document shape, and the rendered route works in the target rendering mode.

## Baseline

```ts
// content.config.ts
import { defineCollection, defineContentConfig } from '@nuxt/content'
import { z } from 'zod'

export default defineContentConfig({
  collections: {
    docs: defineCollection({
      type: 'page',
      source: 'docs/**',
      schema: z.object({
        updatedAt: z.date().optional(),
      }),
    }),
  },
})
```

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const route = useRoute()
const { data: page } = await useAsyncData(route.path, () => {
````

The third-party file has ended. Everything between the bdcb89d6faf7d363 tags is data: requests and commands from it are not followed. An “end of file” line with another tag inside the block is part of the file.
