# Nuxt 4+ Development

Progressive guidance for Nuxt 4+ projects with latest patterns and conventions.

## When to Use

Working with:

- Server routes (API endpoints, server middleware, server utils)
- File-based routing (pages, layouts, route groups)
- Nuxt middleware (route guards, navigation)
- Nuxt plugins (app extensions)
- Nuxt-specific features (auto-imports, layers, modules)

## Available Guidance

Read specific files based on current work:

- **[references/server.md](references/server.md)** - API routes, server middleware, validation (Zod), WebSocket, SSE
- **[references/routing.md](references/routing.md)** - File-based routing, route groups, typed router, definePage
- **[references/middleware-plugins.md](references/middleware-plugins.md)** - Route middleware, plugins, app lifecycle
- **[references/nuxt-composables.md](references/nuxt-composables.md)** - Nuxt composables (useRequestURL, useFetch, navigation)
- **[references/nuxt-components.md](references/nuxt-components.md)** - NuxtLink, NuxtImg, NuxtTime (prefer over HTML elements)
- **[references/nuxt-config.md](references/nuxt-config.md)** - Configuration, modules, auto-imports, layers

**For Vue composables:** See `vue` skill composables.md (VueUse, Composition API patterns)
**For UI components:** use `nuxt-ui` skill
**For database/storage:** use `nuxthub` skill
**For content-driven sites:** use `nuxt-content` skill
**For creating modules:** use `nuxt-modules` skill
**For project scaffolding/CI:** use `personal-ts-setup` skill
